Grammar notes (4)
-지 마 = don't (strong prohibition)
온 우주가 말해 "그녀를 놓치지 마"
The universe becomes a megaphone: an inner warning scaled up to cosmic command.
Pattern: [stem] + 지 마
Example: 떠나지 마 (don't leave)
-ㄴ데 = but / given that
돌이킬 수 없는데 갇혀 있고 싶은 거야 네게
-는데 lays down the rational warning; the desire signs off anyway.
Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ데
Example: 비쌌는데 (it was expensive, but...)
-(으)면 되다 = it works if you ~
그냥 나만 믿으면 다 돼
-면 되다 reduces love to one requirement: trust — nothing else needed.
Pattern: [stem] + 면 되다
Example: 누르면 되다 (just press it)
-는 걸까 = I wonder if ~
왜 눈물 나는 걸까? 사랑하는데
The self-question has no answer; the concessive clause says love is right here — the tears make no sense.
Pattern: [stem] + 는 걸요
Example: 그런 걸까 (why is that, I wonder)
