하나 하면 아는 게 둘 하면 힘이다. 여기 있는 '게' 무슨 뜻이에요?
I see 게 in other similar or different sentences and I don't know what does it mean
I know it's used in making adverbs such as 늦게 but i can't get it when it's been used by itself.

Question

하나 하면 아는 게 둘 하면 힘이다. 여기 있는 '게' 무슨 뜻이에요?
I see 게 in other similar or different sentences and I don't know what does it mean 
I know it's used in making adverbs such as 늦게 but i can't get it when it's been used by itself.

Answer

게 by itself is a contraction of "것이"
아는 게 힘이다 means "knowledge is power"

하나 하면 아는 게 둘 하면 힘이다.
If I say "하나", say "아는 게"
If I say "둘", say "힘이다"

Answer

so the whole sentence is '아는 게(것이) 힘이다'?  they were like playing a game and one says 하나 the other one says 아는 게 then the first one 둘 so he replys 힘이다 . is that correct?

Answer

게 is a short form of 것이
