Grammar notes (12)
-이라 reason
이런 맘은 또 첨이라
첨 is a colloquial short form of 처음 (first time); -이라 is a shortened -이니까 "because it is", giving a reason.
Pattern: [noun] + 이라(서)
Example: 비가 와서 집에 있었어요. It rained, so I stayed home.
안 되다 "can't / won't work"
조절이 자꾸 잘 안돼
안 + 되다 (become/work) → "doesn't work, can't control it". 자꾸 = repeatedly.
Pattern: 안 + [verb] + 되다
Example: 잠이 잘 안 돼요. I can't sleep well.
-대 hearsay
우리 진짜 별나대
-대 is a colloquial shortening of -다고 해 ("they say..."), quoting what others say. 별나다 = strange, peculiar.
Pattern: [sentence] + -대
Example: 내일 비 온대. They say it'll rain tomorrow.
쥐락펴락 ideophonic verb
날 쥐락펴락해
Reduplication of 쥐다 (grip) + 펴다 (open): to manipulate someone freely. 날 = contraction of 나를.
Pattern: [object] + 쥐락펴락(하)다
Example: 그녀는 팬들을 쥐락펴락해요. She has her fans wrapped around her finger.
-고 connective "and"
우린 참 별나고 이상한 사이야
Adjective stem + -고 links two qualities: 별나고 (strange) → 이상한 (weird). 사이야 = 사이 + 이야.
Pattern: [adjective stem] + -고 + [adjective]
Example: 키가 크고 잘생겼어요. He's tall and handsome.
-다가도 contrast
다시 안 볼 듯 싸우다가도
-다가 + -도 ("even while..."): an ongoing action turns around right away. 싸우다 = to fight.
Pattern: [verb stem] + -다가도
Example: 화를 내다가도 금방 웃어요. Even when angry, she smiles right away.
-니 colloquial reason
붙어 다니니 말야
붙어 다니다 = to stick together everywhere. -니 marks a reason; 말야 = 말이야 ("you know") adds emphasis.
Pattern: [verb stem] + -니(까)
Example: 배가 고프니 밥 먹자. I'm hungry, so let's eat.
없인 "without"
너 없인 어지럽고 슬퍼져
없이 + 는 contracted (없인 = 없이는): "in the absence of". 어지럽다 = dizzy.
Pattern: [noun] + 없인
Example: 너 없인 하루도 못 살아. I can't live a day without you.
-아/어 죽다 "extremely (to death)"
서로 좋아 죽는 바보 바보
좋아하다 (like) → 좋아 + 죽다 "like to death", exaggerating the degree. 서로 = each other.
Pattern: [verb stem] + -아/어 죽다
Example: 배고파 죽겠어. I'm starving to death.
-도 "even / also"
기운도 막 없어요
기운 = energy. -도 marks "also/even"; 막 = just/utterly (colloquial emphasis).
Pattern: [noun] + -도
Example: 나도 가고 싶어. I want to go too.
-었어 past recollection
우린 원래 이랬어
원래 = originally. 이랬어 = past colloquial of 이러다 (be like this), implying "it's always been so".
