Grammar notes (4)

-(으)ㄹ수록 = the more ~

섞일수록 더욱 진해져

-ㄹ수록 draws the curve: like flavor, closeness thickens by stirring.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄹ수록

Example: 볼수록 (the more I look)

-는 척 = pretend; -아 봐도 = even if (I) try

까다로운 척 이리저리 재 봐도

All the feigned measuring changes nothing: the verdict was already on the tongue.

Pattern: [stem] + 아 보다

Example: 입어 보다 (try on)

못 하다 = cannot; -ㄹ 못 할 = that cannot

주체 못 할 Appetite 내 모든 걸 뒤흔든 그 맛

못 하다 signals incapacity, not prohibition: the will simply isn't strong enough.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄹ 못하다

Example: 말릴 못하다 (cannot stop it)

-아지다 = become; 쏙 = wholly (out)

녹아들수록 좀 더 달콤해져 내 맘을 아주 쏙 빼놔

쏙 makes the theft surgical: the whole heart, out clean, no crumbs.

Pattern: [stem] + 아지다

Example: 깊어지다 (grow deep)
