Grammar notes (4)

-으니까 = because (realized cause)

너무 사랑했으니까 그런 거야

-으니까 turns causality into diagnosis: every symptom traces back to one cause — loving too much.

Pattern: [stem] + 았으니까

Example: 잤으니까 (because I slept)

-ㄴ 만큼 = to the degree that ~

널 사랑했던 만큼 더 힘든 거야

-ㄴ 만큼 pegs pain to love at a 1:1 exchange rate.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ 만큼

Example: 노력한 만큼 (as much as you tried)

못 하다 + ㄴ = that (I) cannot ~

하지 못할 너라서 더 미운 거야

못할 blocks the exit of hate, so it burns inward instead.

Pattern: [stem] + 못할 + [noun]

Example: 잊지 못할 밤 (an unforgettable night)

-아 버리다 = did ~ completely (with regret)

내 세상은 이미 멈춰버린 걸

-아 버리ada lands the stop as a completed, regrettable fact — not a gradual slowdown.

Pattern: [stem] + 아 버리다

Example: 깨져버리다 (get shattered)
