[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] Go / 去 / 가다 / Đi

“行いく” means “Go” and which has been used as the meaning of “to travel or move to another place”. The basic way to use it “私わたしは___に/へ行いく”, etc. For instance, “私わたしは学校がっこうに行いく(I go to school.)”. The tips for using it is that when using “行いく”, you “JUST MOVE” from one place to another. Furthermore, we often omit “に/へ” of “___に/へ行いく” which sounds native speakers. However, you might want to use “___に/へ行いく” in public or business situations.

[wp-svg-icons icon=”checkmrk-circle” wrap=”i”] 行いってくる (ittekuru)

[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] Go, Go out / 去去就回 / 다녀 오다 / Đi đâu đó rồi về

“行いく” means “Go” and which has been used as the meaning of “to travel or move to another place”. The basic way to use it “私わたしは___に/へ行いってくる”, etc. For instance, “私わたしは学校がっこうに行いってくる(I go to school.)”. The tips for using it is that “行いってくる” literally means “GO and COME BACK”. So, that’s why, when Japanse kids go to school in the morning, they say “行ってきます(I’m going!/I’m off!)” to their mom or dad. Not only kids, but all of Japanse including adults also say “行ってきます” to their high school, university, or even company as well. Of course, after school or work, they would come/get back home. Furthermore, time-wise, “行いってくる” is a little shorter than 行いく”, it depends on the situations though. So, The difference between “昨日きのう、ジムに行いった(I went to the gym.)” and “昨日きのう、ジムに行いってきた(I went to the gym.)” is that “昨日きのう、ジムに行いった(I went to the gym.)” means probably he/she went to the gym and worked out, whereas “昨日きのう、ジムに行いってきた(I went to the gym.)” means he/she might have just signed up for the gym or shortly worked out or something. Lastly, “行いってくる” means “GO and COME BACK” and is sometimes used as the meaning of “short time”, native speakers often use “ちょっとコンビニに行いってくる(I’m just going out to the convenience store.)”, “ちょっとトイレに行いってくる(I go to the bathroom for a bit.), etc. However, we don’t use “行いってくる”, when asking someone such as “図書館としょかん行いってこない？” is wrong. Everybody uses “行いってくる” as casual and business situations. If you come back later, why don’t you use this which sounds like native speakers? Lastly, when using “行いってくる”, it sometimes used as the meaning of “the short time”, so native speakers tend to put “ちょっと” before “行いってくる” in this case. “ちょっと” means “for a bit”.
