Grammar notes (4)

-없이 = without

날 없이 베이는 상처

-없이 deletes the knife from the equation of harm — what's left is words.

Pattern: [noun] + 없이 + [verb]

Example: 빛 없이 (without light)

-(이)라고 하는 듯이 → -(이)단 듯이 = as if saying

넌 이미 익숙하단 듯이

-단 듯이 quotes nobody yet indicts everything: the habit speaks for them.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ 듯이

Example: 알았단 듯이 (as if he knew)

-ㄹ 수 없이 = in a way that cannot be ~

막을 수 없이 사무치는 맘

-ㄹ 수 없이 turns impossibility into an adverb: no blocking method even exists.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄹ 수 없다

Example: 잊을 수 없이 (unforgettably)

-ㄴ다면 = if (it turns out that)

가시 같은 그 말로 널 아프게 한다면 열지 못하게 BOCA

-ㄴ다면 sets a hypothetical hurt; the lock is decided before it can happen.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ다면

Example: 잘 될 거라면 (if it goes well)
