Grammar notes (8)

mutjim: coolness (noun)

All I wanna be is 멋짐

Nominalized form of 멋있다 (cool). The -im/-eum nominalizer: 울다→울음 (crying).

Pattern: [verb/adj] + -im/jim

Example: kkumkkuneun jeulgeoum = the joy of dreaming

da: all, everything

머리 어깨 무릎 다 HIP 해

다 after a noun list = 'all of them'. Nods to the kids' song head-shoulders-knees.

Pattern: [noun] + da

Example: da joayo = I like them all

ttakkeun vs ttakkeum: warm vs stinging

늘 따끈따끈해 그 관심이 따끔따끔해

따끈따끈 (warm) vs 따끔따끔 (stinging) — a one-vowel pun.

Pattern: Reduplicative contrast

Example: ttakkeunhan gukmul = piping-hot soup

(e)n ji olaeda: it's been long since

잊은 지도 오래야 뒷걸음

잊다 (forget) + -n ji + olaeda = 'it's been long since (I) forgot'. -n ji marks time since an event.

Pattern: [verb] + (e)n ji + time

Example: sijakan ji sanyeonjjaeyeyo = It's been 3 years since I started

-i doeda: to become

삐삐삐 논란이 돼 my fashion

논란 (controversy) + 이 되다 (become) = 'turns into a controversy'. Sino-Korean + 되다 marks change.

Pattern: [noun] + -i/ga doeda

Example: choegaga doego sipeo = I want to be the best

hollin deusi: as if entranced

자꾸 click me click me 홀린 듯이 zoom

홀리다 (be entranced) attributive + 듯이 = 'as if spellbound'. Same pattern as The Chase's 홀린 듯이.

Pattern: (e)n deusi

Example: michin deusi chumchweosseo = Danced like crazy

(e)deun: wherever, no matter

(Attention) 어딜 가든 넌 빛날 수 있어

가다 + -(으)든 = 'wherever (you) go'. The -deun ending marks free choice, opposite of 말고.

Pattern: [verb] + (e)deun

Example: mwol hadeun choeseoneul dae = Whatever you do, give it your all

-deokbune: thanks to

덕분에 나의 멘탈은 단단해

덕분에 = 'thanks to' — sincere or sarcastic: 덕분에 망했어 ('thanks to you it flopped').

Pattern: [noun] + -deokbune

Example: dangsin deokbune sarasseoyo = You saved my life
