When you'd hear it
Common in both conversation and writing when passing along news, rumors, stories, or claims, often before nouns such as 소식, 이야기, and 소문. It appears in polite everyday speech as well as in news reports and more formal writing.
What learners get wrong
Learners often confuse this with -다고 하다. Use -(ㄴ/는)다는 or (이)라는 when the quoted content modifies a following noun; use -다고 하다 when the reporting clause itself ends with the quote.
