When you'd hear it
-다가는 is common in spoken warnings and advice, from casual conversations to polite workplace or public-safety language. It also appears frequently in written instructions and cautionary statements.
What learners get wrong
Unlike -(으)면, which can describe a neutral condition, -다가는 warns that an undesirable result may follow from continuing or repeating an action. It often pairs naturally with consequences such as 큰일나다 or 부족하다.
