Korean

Etymology

See the main entry. The vowel change to ㅏ (a) is irregular; Ko Gwang-mo believes it was potentially influenced by a putative suffix *갓 (-*gat-), which would have been the yang-vowel form of the etymologically unrelated Early Modern suffix 것 (-geot-).[1]

Suffix

갔 • (-gat-)

  1. Northern and western Gyeonggi and western Gangwon form of 겠 (-get-, “will, intend, probably”).
    그러믄 지가 잘 하갔지? (Gyeonggi, Gimpo)
    Geureo-meun ji-ga jal ha-gat-ji?
    then they'll probably do well?

Usage notes
  • Sometimes the synonymous suffix 갓 (-gat-), the form used in Hwanghae, Pyong'an, and Yukjin, is also written as 갔 (-gat-) under influence from the standard orthography.
