Chugo vs. Chugi

[Gwai Lo Dan]

Korean question: what does "chugo" mean vs "chugi"? I've always heard "chugi", then watching this video (5:47 for instance), I heard "chugo" as well a "mako" (rather than "maki") a few times.

I've been taught by a non-Korean instructor (student of a Korean one though) that chago (I write it like that) means that you perform chagi in combination with another following technique (for example, you punch or strike with the elbow immediately after the kick, while your foot gets back to the floor). I imagine it can be some kind of variation of the word according to the way it is used. This was asked here some time ago and I believe someone with Korean language knowledge confirmed the combination idea (but I think no-one mentioned my linguistics conjecture).

As for "makko" instead of "makki" I don't remember anyone mentioning it but I believe it's about same idea.

The o ending is a little like the English gerund, and is used when a kick or block is followed by another. It's a bit like saying 'turning kick' as 'dollyo chagi', or 'chago' if it is followed by another.

This is basically correct. I am not sure how deep you want to get into Korean but a little more detail is below.

A verb plus 'gi' is the nominalization of the word. So 'dollyo chagi' means roundhouse kicking.

A verb plus 'go' represents the conjunction 'and,' which implies something is to follow. For example, Ap chago dollyo chagi. Front kick and roundhouse kicking.
