When you'd hear it
This appears often in spoken planning, presentations, explanations, and workplace discussions when someone sets up a premise before deciding what to do next. It is neutral in tone and can also appear in careful written prose.
What learners get wrong
The speaker grants someone's claim or assumes a situation, and the clause that follows rebuts it or shows the trouble that granting it causes. It turns up as -(느)ㄴ다고 치자, -(느)ㄴ다고 칩시다, -(느)ㄴ다고 쳐도 and -(느)ㄴ다고 치고, and -고 can drop, leaving -(느)ㄴ다 치다. Adjectives take -다고 치다, verbs -(느)ㄴ다고 치다 and nouns (이)라고 치다.
