💡 Did you know?
갖다 주다 (gatda juda)
Korean "bring it over" verb
“to take or bring something to someone,” spoken short form of 가져다주다

갖다 주다 is what you say when you carry something to a person: 아빠한테 갖다 줘 means “take it to Dad.” It is the spoken short form of 가져다주다, and it differs from 가져오다, which only means “to bring here.” With 갖다 주다 you name the receiver with -한테 (“to”), so the object always has somewhere to go.

The clip is a run of small errands: 아빠한테 갖다 줘! then 엄마 갖다 줘!, and a moment later 가져다주나 보려고 (“I wanted to see if you’d bring it over”), ending with the thanks 토리야 고마워. 가져가다 (“take away”) only tells you the object leaves, not who gets it. Add -줘 (or -주세요 to be polite) and the request now means “do it for my sake.”
