Grammar notes (8)

saenggang malgo: don't even think of

팝콘이나 챙겨 껴들 생각 말고

껴들다 (join in) + 생각 (thought) + 말고 (don't) = 'don't even THINK of joining'. An advanced prohibition.

Pattern: -neun saenggang malgo

Example: igil saenggang mara = Don't even think of winning

-neun jung: in the middle of

내 손끝 툭 하나에 다 무너지는 중

무너지다 (collapse) + -neun jung (in progress) = 'collapsing now'. 중 is the Sino-Korean 'middle'.

Pattern: [verb] + -neun jung

Example: jigeum junbihaneun jungieyo = I'm preparing right now

dogeul pumeun kkot: a flower holding venom

자 오늘 밤이야 난 독을 품은 꽃

품다 (embrace) past attributive 품은 modifies 꽃 (flower). Beauty + danger — the song's core metaphor.

Pattern: [noun]-eul pumeun + [noun]

Example: bimireul pumeun geunyeo = She who holds a secret

-l maneum: to the degree that

천천히 널 잠재울 FIRE 잔인할 만큼 아름다워

잠재우다 (put to sleep) attributive + 만큼 (degree) = 'beautiful to the point of cruelty'. 만큼 marks degree.

Pattern: [verb] + -l maneum

Example: utkkil maneum simgakae = Serious to the point of funny

gamdang motada: can't handle

감당 못해 and you know this

감당하다 (bear) + 못하다 (cannot) = can't handle. 감당 is literary but common in lyrics.

Pattern: -motada

Example: nan geugeol gamdang motae = I can't handle it

-eundamyeon: if you want to

원한다면 provoke us

원하다 (want) + -(으)ㄴ다면 = hypothetical 'if you say you want it'. More quotative than plain -(으)면.

Pattern: [verb] + -ndamyeon

Example: wonhandamyeon julgeyo = If you want it, I'll give it

-eo beorin: completely done (regret/completion)

이미 퍼져버린 shot that potion

퍼지다 (spread) + 어 버리다 = 'has fully spread (irreversible)'. The -eo beorida ending adds completion/finality.

Pattern: [verb] + -a/beorida

Example: kkamppakhago beoryeosseo = I accidentally threw it away

-eo bwa: try it (imperative)

다 줄 세워 봐 자 STOP DROP

줄 세우다 (line up) + 어 보다 = 'go ahead and line up' — a challenge, reinforced by 자 ('come on').

Pattern: [verb] + -eo bwa

Example: hanbeon magwa bwa = Try and stop me
