Grammar notes (4)

지금부터 잠시 = for a while from now

너와 나 지금부터 잠시 12345

Counting together turns pausing into a shared ritual.

Example: 지금부터 잠시만 빌릴게 (borrow it just from now)

-고 서 = standing and ~

눈을 감고 가만히 서 12345

Standing still as an active choice, not passivity.

Pattern: [stem] + ゴソイッタ

Example: 그 자리에 서 있어 (stand right there)

-게 -게 = so that ~ and so that ~

내가 지치지 않게 다신 놓치지 않게

Twin -게 clauses make a mutual pact: neither of us burns out.

Example: 늦지 않게 조심히 가 (go carefully so you're not late)

-아 봤겠지 = you've tried it, right?

한 번쯤 너도 해봤겠지
