속점 - 안인가요? - 속담: 가는 정이 고와야 오는 정이 있다
속담: 가는 정이 고와야 오는 정이 있다
I learned this Korean proverb earlier, but soneone said 있어야 should be used instead of 고와야.

My question is: Is above incorrect? We cant say above is Sokdam? Is it wrong?

I learned this Korean proverb earlier, but soneone said 있어야 should be used instead of 고와야.

My question is: Is above incorrect? We cant say above is Sokdam? Is it wrong?

Answer

huh I only knew 
"가는 말이 고와야 오는 말이 곱다"
didnt know this also existed?

Answer

가는 정이 고와야 오는 정이 있다

So if someone says that 고와야 usage is wrong above and it us not 속담 as it can not match goigle or naversearch.   Then i can say it iis ok? And it is indeed sokdam. ( but other people show me 있어야 version and argue.. that above is no such sokdam in Korean )

Answer

It means "What goes around comes around". In this case, 정 refers hospitality. It doesn't matter, you can use 고와야 instead for 있다/있어야. 속담=Proverb/Idioms
