'Hajimalago' is like a 'Don't do it!' in English and usually people use this expression when they got angry from someone. 'Don't do it! can't you understand me???!!' -> those situation.



For example)

If someone bullying him(or her), he might say at first time like 'Hajima' and this meaning also like 'Don't do it' but if still bullying, he will be changed his voice and will say strongly again 'Hajimalago'. Hajimalago is more strong warning than Hajima usually. But have to remember that we can't use both of Hajima and Hajimalago to olders than themselves as this is a talk down words and rude expression sometimes. In that case, have to say as ('Hajimaseyo'-don't do it please)



In Korean : Hajimalago = 하지말라고

Hajima = 하지마

The "hajimalagu" is not considered correct in formal Korean. It is a local accent of Gyeonggi-do. "hajimalago" is correct especially when writing. However, most Koreans say "hajimalagu" when texting or chatting online. The following is their honorifics: hajimalaguyo, hajimalagoyo / hajimasiraguyo, hajimasiragoyo.

Hajimalago kinda means like: "I told you not to do it!" "Like, let me repeat again!"

For example:

Friend: I'm going to go shoplift (lol random scenario in my head)

Me: Hajima!

Friend: (not listening and trying to steal something)

Me: Hajimalago!



----------------------

Oh yeah, the other person already said this, but hajimalago is kind of rude and like, banmal.

But it's like..when you are saying it for a second time cuz that person wouldn't stop doing it.
