-서 and -고: what do they mean?
i've seen these endings on words that are familiar to me like "좋아서" and "없고". Do they change the meaning of these words?

-고 & -서 are both used for connecting two sentences together. -고 is short for 그리고 (and) and -서 is short for 그래서(so...). -고 can be used for past and present tense.
Example:
전 영화 봤어요. 그리고 음악 들었어요. > > > 전 영화 보고 음악 들었어요. (I watched a movie and listened to music.)
준수 씨는 축구를 좋아해요. 그래서 꼭 보고 싶어요. > > > 준수 씨는 축구를 좋아해서 꼭 보고 싶어요. (Junsu likes soccer so he will surely want to watch it.)
Keep in mind that -서 is either -아서/어서/여서(해서).
