Grammar notes (4)

말아요 = don't (soft)

우리 사랑하지 말아요 아직은 잘 모르잖아요

말아요 is a plea, not a command: the confession begins with 'don't.'

Pattern: [stem] + ジ マラヨ

Example: 울지 말아요 (don't cry)

-잖아요 = you know it's ~

내일은 또 모르잖아요

-잖아요 turns fear into shared common sense.

Pattern: [stem] + ジャナヨ

Example: 이른 거잖아요 (it's too early, you know)

탈을 쓴 = masked as

사랑의 탈을 쓴 mistake

The mask makes the mistake look like love — visually deceptive.

Pattern: [noun] + タルヲ カブン + [noun]

Example: 선의의 탈을 쓴 거짓말 (a lie in disguise of goodwill)

사랑이란 = the thing called love

사랑이란 두 글자 속에 우릴 가두려고 하지 말아요

Naming love becomes jailing it: definitions confine.

Pattern: [noun] + ラン + [noun] + ソゲ

Example: 기대라는 압박 (pressure named expectation)
