Grammar notes (12)
Subject marker 이/가
내 심장이 lub-dub
심장 ends in a consonant → 이; vowel-final nouns take 가.
Pattern:
Example:
Plain (banmal) ending -아/어
자꾸만 뛰어
뛰어 = stem of 뛰다 + 어; lyrics often use casual speech.
Pattern:
Example:
처럼 (like/as)
초능력처럼
N + 처럼 = like N (same as 같이).
Pattern:
Example:
-ㄴ/은 것 같아 (it seems like)
거대한 자석이 된 것만 같아 my heart
된 것 같아 = 'it feels like it became...'; the go-to conjecture pattern.
Pattern:
Example:
-아/어 버려 (completely done)
네 모든 게 내 맘에 달라붙어버려 boy
달라붙다 + 버려 = stuck for good; 버리다 adds a sense of no going back.
Pattern:
Example:
넌 and 난 contractions
넌 J 난 완전 P
너+는→넌, 나+는→난; super common in lyrics.
Pattern:
Example:
-지만 (but/although)
S와 N 극이지만
극 + 이지만 = 'though (we're) poles'; 와 = 'and' after vowels.
Pattern:
Example:
-ㄹ래 (wanna / I will)
내가 만들래 green light
만들래 = stem + ㄹ래; used for offers or intention.
Pattern:
Example:
-지 (right? / indeed)
여잔 배짱이지
배짱 + 이지 = 'guts, that's what it is'; 여잔 = 여자+는.
Pattern:
Example:
-고 싶다 (want to)
숨기고 싶지 않아 자석 같은 my heart
싶지 않아 = don't want to; 같은 modifies the next noun.
Pattern:
Example:
-(으)ㄹ게 (I promise I will)
전속력으로 너에게 갈게
갈게 = 가다 + ㄹ게 (promise to listener); 으로 marks the means (full speed).
Pattern:
Example:
