   • 걸로 is a contraction of 것으로, where 것 (thing) is a bound noun used with a modifier to nominalize the preceding clause, and the particle -으로 indicates method or means, marking a decision in this context. The verb 하다 (to do) and the propositive ending -자 (let’s) are implied but omitted in this casual, shortened form.
   • Together, the full expression -는 걸로 하자 means ‘Let’s do it this way’ or ‘Let’s decide on this’.
