Confused by 이러고 I try test myself on what I know ( and learn new words) by trying to understand random sentences from korean fb friends/fan pages. This is the sentence I encountered today: "우리 사무실 사람들 이러고 놀고 있다 ..." what I was able to figure out from what i'd previously learned: 우리 사무실 사람들 = Our staff (many people our office) 놀고 있다 = playing/ being idle/wasting time With help from Naver Dictionary and google: 이러고 (<- confuses me) -이러다 with the way things are going, (S) at this rate ( looks like) So does "우리 사무실 사람들 이러고 놀고 있다 ..." end up meaning "This is how people/our staff play at work/the office..."or " It's looking like the staff are playing at the office..."? also I'm confused on how the particle 고 affects the noun. I feel like it's similar to 'ing", but am just guessing. -_- so would kago mean going, bogo seeing, and sago mean shopping etc? Thanks everyone.
