Notes When quoting phrases containing the request to perform an action for the sake of someone else different from the hearer (in particular, expressions with the benefactive aspect -아/어 주-), the quotation may require the use of 달라고 instead of 주라고.

달라고 replaces 주라고 in situations when the speaker is making a command for the benefit of himself, i.e., when the speaker is the one who will benefit once the command is executed.
