Saying "I'm going to sleep"


Is 眠って行きます correct? Is it Nemutte ikimasu or nemuttekimasu? Informally.




If you want to say "I will sleep", the Japanese equivalent is simply 寝ます or
眠ります.

眠って行きます is a grammatically correct sentence, but it means "I'll sleep here
before leaving here".

Note that [the going-to future](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going-to_future)
is a grammatical construction of English, and it cannot be directly translated
to other languages. (Likewise, you cannot translate "have to" as in "You have
to sleep" using 持つ, because this "have" is special.)

(て)行く is one of the Japanese [subsidiary
verbs](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/18965/5010). You can read about
its usages [here](https://www.wasabi-jpn.com/japanese-grammar/helping-verbs/).
