Grammar notes (6)
saramae ppajida: to fall in love
사랑에 빠진 한 소녀가 있었는데
사랑 (love) + 에 + 빠지다 (fall into) = fall in love. The -neunde ending sets a storytelling scene — classic fairy-tale opener.
Pattern: -e ppajida
Example: geu noraee ppajyeosseo = I got hooked on that song
mak -dae: keep going on about
참 유난스럽게 막 재잘재잘 대
재잘재잘 (chatter) + 대 = 'keeps chattering'. 막 adds a 'no holding back' flavor.
Pattern: [mimetic] + -dae
Example: TV-reul mak teureonwasseo = Left the TV on
geuge = geugeosi contracted
나는 그게 좋아
그것이 contracts to 그게 — high-frequency. 이게/그게/저게 = this/that/that over there.
Pattern: ige/geuge/jeoge
Example: geuge mwoya? = What's that?
-nim syeonne: the great ~ has arrived (teasing)
어이쿠 사랑꾼 납셨네
사랑꾼 (love fool) + 님 (honorific) + 셨네 (honorific past) = mock-honorific 'the great romantic has arrived'.
Pattern: -kkun + nim syeonne
Example: ilbellae-nim syeonne = The workaholic has arrived
manko maneun: many, many (emphasis)
이 많고 많은 사람 중에 하나가 아냐
많다 doubled = 'so many, so many'. ~중에 = 'among'.
Pattern: -junge hana
Example: baek myeong junge han myeong = One in a hundred
-bakke moreuda: knows nothing but
사랑밖에 모르는 바보
밖에 (outside) + 모르다 (not know) = 'knows nothing except'. Always with a negative.
Pattern: [noun] + -bakke moreuda
Example: neobakke eopseo = I have no one but you
