Let’s dive in!

take someone/something for granted

To express ‘take something/someone for granted,’ we can say ‘당연하게 여기다.’

Here, ‘여기다’ means ‘to consider’ or ‘to regard,’ and ‘당연하다’ means ‘to be right, obvious’ or ‘to be expected.’
So, literally, it means ‘to regard something as obvious.’
You can use ‘생각하다‘ instead of ‘여기다’ as well! (‘생각하다‘ means ‘to think’). 생각하다 sounds a bit more casual.
