가라는

This is the 8576th most frequent Korean word.


가라는

"가라는" means "telling someone to go" or "the command to go."


Here, "가라는" functions as an adjective clause forming 'told to go,' modifying 'place' (곳).

나는 그를 가라는 곳으로 보내었다.

I sent him to the place he was told to go.


In this case, "가라는" modifies 'thing' (것) to express 'instructed to go.'

가라는 것보다 조금 더 멀리 간 것이었다.

It turned out that the distance traveled was a bit farther than instructed to go.


Here, "가라는" is part of '말' (words/speech) to specify 'words instructing to go.'

그는 누군가에게 가라는 말을 들었다.

He heard words from someone telling him to go.
