Grammar notes (12)
-neun cheok: pretend to...
넌 쿨한 척 혼자가 좋대
척 means 'acting as if': verbs/adjectives take -는 척 or -ㄴ 척. 쿨하다 → 쿨한 척 (playing it cool). 좋대 contracts 좋다고 해 — the hearsay -대 ending is everywhere in Korean chat.
Pattern: [stem] + -(u)n/neun cheok
Example: moreuneun cheokhaesseo = I pretended not to know
-(u)llae: I wanna / I'll
널 부를래 Baby
Verb + (으)ㄹ래 expresses the speaker's will: 부르다 → 부를래 ('I'm gonna call you'). More casual than 싶어요 — a go-to with friends.
Pattern: [verb stem] + -(u)llae
Example: oneureun jibe isseullae = I think I'll stay home today
-jana: you know, right?
사실은 너도 알잖아
-잖아 contracts -지 않아 and points to something both speakers know: 알잖아 ('you know, right?'), 맛있잖아 ('it's tasty, come on'). 사실은 (actually) + 너도 (you too).
Pattern: [stem] + -jana
Example: naega malhaetjana! = I told you, didn't I!
tteugeopda -> tteugeoun: the ㅂ irregular
뜨거운 계절 속에
Adjectives ending in ㅂ switch to 우 before vowels: 뜨겁다 → 뜨거운, 춥다 → 추운, 덥다 → 더운. 속에 = 'inside of'.
Pattern: [ㅂ-stem] + (u)n -> un with 우
Example: deoun nareneun aiseukeurim! = Ice cream on hot days!
-go itdeon: had been -ing (attributive)
우리가 찾고 있던 건
-고 있다 (progressive) + -던 (past incomplete) = 찾고 있던 ('that we had been looking for'). Add 건 (from 것) to make it the topic: 'what we'd been searching for'.
Pattern: [verb] + -go itdeon + [noun]
Example: geuttae meokgo itdeon aiseukeurim = The ice cream I was eating then
deo + -ge: comparative adverb
더 크게 말해
더 (more) + the adverb form of 크다 (big/loud) = 크게. Adjectives become adverbs with -게: 빠르게 (fast), 작게 (softly).
Pattern: deo + [stem] + -ge
Example: deo keuge useojwo = Laugh louder for me
-(e)undamyeon: if, hypothetically
But like 날 섞는다면?
-(으)ㄴ다면 contracts -(으)ㄴ다고 하면, adding a hypothetical/proposing feel. 섞다 (to mix, blend) → 섞는다면 ('what if you mix me in?').
Pattern: [verb] + -(e)undamyeon
Example: naega gandamyeon eodiga joeulkka? = If I go, where would be good?
igida -> igyeo: the ㅡ irregular
다 이겨, 여름 Heart
이기다 (to win) has a ㅡ-final stem: the 아/어 ending picks up the previous vowel — 기 + 어 → 이겨. Same pattern as 쓰다 → 써. 다 (all) at the front = 'win it all'.
Pattern: [ㅡ-stem] + a/eo -> prev vowel + a/eo
Example: gamjeonge jyeosseo = I lost to my emotions
dalda -> dara: the ㄹ-drop irregular
같이라면 더 달아
Verbs with ㄹ-final stems drop the ㄹ before 아/어: 달다 (sweet) → 달아, 살다 (live) → 살아. 같이라면 contracts 같이라고 하면 — 'if we're together'.
Pattern: [ㄹ-stem] + a/eo -> drop ㄹ
Example: i kkuleun jinjja dara = This honey is really sweet
-a/eojida: to become...
Ooh, but 점점 달아져요
달다 + 아지다 = 달아지다 (to turn sweet). Adjectives + 어지다 express change: 좋아지다 (get better), 따뜻해지다 (warm up). 점점 = gradually.
Pattern: [adj stem] + -a/eojida
Example: nalssiga jeomjeom chuwajyeoyo = The weather is getting colder
-man + -(u)myeon: as long as
우리만 OK면
만 (only) + (으)면 (if) = 'as long as': 우리만 OK면 ('if just we're OK'). Compare 시간만 있으면 (as long as I have time).
Pattern: [noun] + -man + -(u)myeon
Example: neman ondamyeon galge = If it's just you coming, I'll go
-(u)l ge eopseo: nothing left to...
더할 게 없어
더하다 (add) + (으)ㄹ 게 (future attributive of 것) + 없다 (none) = 'nothing more to add' = perfection. Same shape: 더 말할 것 없다 (nothing more to say).
Pattern: [verb] + -(u)l ge eopda
Example: baral ge eopseoyo = I have nothing left to wish for
