Grammar notes (4)
-부터 = from / starting at
진짜 시작은 지금부터
진짜 (real) modifies 시작 (start): everything before was a teaser — now it counts.
Pattern: [noun] + 부터
Example: 다음 주부터 (starting next week)
-같은 = like ~; -지 않니? = isn't it ~?
현실같은 Dream은 이제 지겹지 않니?
-지 않니? is a gentle rhetorical nudge: presuming you're bored, then offering something new.
Pattern: [noun] + 같은, + 지 않니?
Example: 꿈같은 하루 (a dreamlike day)
-ㄹ 게 없다 = there's nothing to ~
No 무서워할 거 없어 never give up
-ㄹ 게 없다 empties the category: there is no thing to fear at all.
Pattern: [stem] + ㄹ 게 없다
Example: 부러울 게 없다 (nothing to envy)
-지 않니? = isn't it ~?
Zero + Zero = ∞ Oh, 재밌지 않니?
The formula as lyric: two zeros meeting make infinity — emptiness multiplied into endlessness.
Pattern: [stem] + 지 않니?
Example: 좋지 않니? (isn't it good?)
