하라

This is the 7750th most frequent Korean word.


하라

"하라" means "do" or "to do" in an imperative form, often used to give commands or instructions.


In this sentence, '하라' is used as a command form derived from the verb '하다' (to do), combined with '-라고', which indicates reporting or quoting a directive.

그는 나에게 그것을 하라고 말했다.

He told me to do that.


In this case, '하라 할지' uses '하라' within a reported speech context, denoting the act of instructing or commanding.

할 일이 너무 많아서 무엇을 먼저 하라 할지 모르겠다.

There is so much to do that I don't know what to be told to do first.


Here, '하라' is again the command form of '하다', used in a context to show someone's directive or suggestion, inviting compliance or agreement.

그가 하라니까 하자.

Since he says to do it, let's do it.
