Grammar notes (4)

노노노 = triple no

하지만 노노노 혼자가 아니면 노노노

The 'no's reject your sadness, not you: a negative turned into comfort.

Pattern: ノノノ + [positive]

Example: 노노노 울지 마 (no no no, don't cry)

-아/어 주다 = do for you

언제나 힘이 돼줄게

-주다 + 언제나 makes a lifetime promise of support.

Pattern: [stem] + ア/オ チュダ

Example: 곁에 있어줄게 (I'll stay by you)

-아/어 가는 = progressively ~ing

하나 둘씩 불이 꺼져가는 공간 속에 내가 널 비춰줄게

The progressive dying lights vs. the steady shine — darkness vs. one candle.

Pattern: [stem] + ア カヌン + [noun]

Example: 사라져 가는 길 (a fading road)

-요 = polite imperative

그때 내 손을 잡아요 이제 지금 다가와

The polite imperative keeps the plea gentle: comfort without force.

Pattern: [stem] + ア/オヨ

Example: 어서 와요 (come on in, please)
