Grammar notes (4)

차다 + -디 → 차디 찬 = emphatic reduplication

차디 찬 곳에 갇혀 있었지

The -디 form doubles the cold: even the adjective shivers.

Pattern: [stem] + 디 + [stem] + 은

Example: 빠디 빠지다 (thinning badly)

왜냐하면 = because; -거든 = you see (explaining)

왜냐하면 너는 진짜거든

-거든 drops the backstory casually: the whole song's reason in one line.

Pattern: waenyahamyeon + [clause] + geodeun

Example: 있거든 (you see, I have one)

-아 주다 = do for (me); -줘 = please

내게 생명을 불어넣어줘

불어넣다 literally blows air: life as a breath passed from one flame to another.

Pattern: [noun] + 을 + [noun] + 에 불어넣다

Example: 자신감을 불어넣다 (instill confidence)

-더라도 = even if; -아 보다 = try

상처 받았더라도 그냥 한번 믿어봐

The hurt is paid upfront — all that's asked in return is one try at believing.

Pattern: [stem] + 더라도

Example: 늦었더라도 (even if late)
