An indirect quotation refers to the citing, without the use of quotation marks, of what someone suggested. After changing the form of the content to be quoted, -자고 is attached and used along with a verb such as 말하다 (to speak, to say), 전하다 (to tell, to convey) or 듣다 (to listen, to hear). These verbs can be substituted with 하다 or 그러다.
1. Suggestive Sentences
2. Imperative Sentences
When the first person pronoun 나/내 or 저/제 appears inside an indirect quotation, it changes to 자기.
When indirect quotations are made from sentences that originally end in 주세요 or -아/어 주세요, these parts change to 달라고 하다 and -아/어 달라고 하다 or 주라고 하다 and -아/어 주라고 하다, respectively. Specifically, when the speaker is making the request directly to the listener, then 달라고 하다 and -아/어 달라고 하다 are used, but when the speaker is asking the listener to help a third party, then 주라고 하다 and -아/어 주라고 하다 are used.
