Let's look at some examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

그거 주세요. (Geu-geo ju-se-yo.)

물 주세요. (Mul ju-se-yo.)

바나나 주세요. (Ba-na-na ju-se-yo.)

저거 주세요. (Jeo-geo ju-se-yo.)

물이랑 이거 주세요. (Mur-i-rang i-geo ju-se-yo.)

Did you notice how I used a different pattern?

물이랑 이거 주세요. (Mur-i-rang i-geo ju-se-yo.)

"Water and this, please."

물이랑 이거주세요. (Mur-i-rang i-geo ju-se-yo.)

First is 물 (mul), “water.” 물.

Next is 이랑(i-rang), a particle translating as “and,” in this context. 이랑. 이랑.

Note: there are two forms of this particle.

이랑(i-rang) follows words that end in a consonant, like 물 (mul).

랑(rang) follows words that end in a vowel, like 이거.

Next is 이거 (i-geo), “this.” 이거.

Together, 물이랑 이거, “water and this.” 물이랑 이거.

Note: if the order were reversed, “This and water,” the connecting particle would change, 이거랑 물. “This and water.”

Last is 주세요 (ju-se-yo), meaning "give me, please." 주세요.

All together, 물이랑 이거주세요. (Mur-i-rang i-geo ju-se-yo.)

"Water and this, please."

물이랑 이거 주세요. (Mur-i-rang i-geo ju-se-yo.)

The pattern is:

{ITEM} 랑/이랑 (rang/i-rang) {ITEM} 주세요. (ju-se-yo.)

{ITEM} and {ITEM} please.

{ITEM} 랑/이랑 (rang/i-rang) {ITEM} 주세요. (ju-se-yo.)
