Grammar notes (13)
-neun sungan: the moment when...
스치는 순간 모두가 My friend
스치다 (to brush past) takes the present attributive -느 to modify 순간 (moment): 'the moment you brush past'. Use ~는 순간 for any 'the moment V' phrase.
Pattern: [verb stem] + -neun + sungan
Example: muneul yeoneun sungan nollatseoyo = The moment I opened the door, I was surprised
-eseo marks where action happens; insareul geonneda = greet
여기저기서 인사를 건네
여기저기 (here and there) + 에서 (at) = all over the place. 건네다 literally means 'to hand over'; 인사를 건네다 (exchange greetings) is a set phrase, as is 안부를 건네다 (send regards).
Pattern: [place] + -eseo + insareul geonneda
Example: achime iwootege insareul geonnesseo = I greeted my neighbor in the morning
nune ttida + -(u)l: eye-catching...
언제나 그래 눈에 띌 My face
눈에 띄다 (to catch the eye) takes the future attributive -(으)ㄹ to modify a noun: 눈에 띌 사람 (someone who stands out). 띄다 contracts to 띌 before ㄹ-ending forms.
Pattern: nune ttida -> nune ttal + [noun]
Example: nune ttineun oseul ibeonneyo = You're wearing a really eye-catching outfit
-ji ma: don't (informal prohibition)
흘겨보지 마 이건 No race
Verb + 지 마 (from 말다, 'to not do') is the informal prohibition: 가지 마 (don't go), 먹지 마 (don't eat). 흘겨보다 = to glance sideways / side-eye.
Pattern: [verb stem] + -ji ma
Example: neutgekkaji jaji ma = Don't stay up late
nuga mworaeodo: no matter what anyone says
누가 뭐래도 평범한 건 지루해
A colloquial contraction of 누가 뭐라고 해도, with a very strong concessive force. ~는 건 is -는 것 (nominalizer) + 은 (topic): 평범한 건 'being ordinary (as for...)'.
Pattern: nuga mworaeodo + [clause]
Example: nuga mworaeodo choegoneun uri oppa = No matter what anyone says, my brother is the best
-a/eodo: even if
철이 없대도 재밌으면 That's okay
-아도/어도 marks concession: 'even if'. 없대도 contracts 없다고 해도 ('even if they say I'm immature') — the -다고 quotative + 도 pattern. 재밌으면 is the conditional of 재미있다.
Pattern: [stem] + -a/eodo
Example: biga wado gallaeyo = Even if it rains, I want to go
-daero: just as, the way it is
지금 이대로 좋아
이대로 = 'just like this, as things are'. Noun + 대로 (마음대로 as I please, 말한 대로 as you said), verb + -(으)ㄴ 대로 (as was done).
Pattern: [noun] + -daero
Example: on geudaero malhae jwo = Tell me exactly as it happened
-dapda -> -daun: like a true...
나다울 때 누구보다 눈부셔 난
나답다 (to be like myself) takes attributive -ㄴ: 나다운 (my true self). Same rule as 사람답다 → 사람다운. 누구보다 = 'more than anyone', pairs with superlatives.
Pattern: [noun]-dapda -> [noun]-daun
Example: eorinaedaun jit jom geumanhae = Stop acting so childishly
-eotda -eotda: back and forth
이랬다저랬다 No rule
이렇다 (like this) contracts to 이랬다; 저렇다 (like that) to 저랬다. Placing both in a row = flip-flopping: 이랬다저랬다 (this way and that). Same shape as 갔다 왔다 (going back and forth).
Pattern: [-eotda] + [-eotda] in a row
Example: gibuni joatda nappatda hae = My mood keeps swinging
-ragu: casual 'I'm telling you', colloquial quote
I don't care 이게 나라구
나라구 is the playful colloquial form of 나라고 ('it's me'), softer and cuter than -(이)라고. Same vibe as 먹고 싶다구! ('but I wanna eat it!').
Pattern: [noun/stem] + -(i)ragu
Example: bappeudagu! chingureul mananeun jungiya = I'm telling you I'm busy! I'm meeting a friend
amureopgena: however, carelessly
아무렇게나 추는 춤
아무렇다 + -게 (adverbial) + 나 ('any') = however, without care. Same family: 아무거나 (anything), 아무나 (anyone). 추는 춤 is the -느 attributive: 'the dance (I) dance'.
Pattern: amu + [stem] + -ge + -na
Example: amugeotna golla = Pick anything
-neun geon: the fact of doing (topic)
미리 걱정하는 건 버려 잠깐
-는 것 (nominalizer) + 은 (topic) → 걱정하는 건 'the worrying (as for it)'. 버리다 literally 'to throw away'; the imperative 버려 = 'drop it'. After emotion verbs it adds a 'just ... it away' nuance: 잊어 버려 (just forget it).
Pattern: [verb] + -neun geon
Example: maeil undonghaneun geon himdeureo = Working out every day is tough
-(eun) daero hae: do as it goes
이끌린 대로 해
이끌리다 (to be drawn to, passive) past attributive 이끌린 + 대로 (as it goes) + 해 (do) = 'do as my heart is drawn'. Same structure as 느낌 가는 대로 가 (go where the feeling takes you).
Pattern: [verb] + -(eun) daero hae
Example: neukkim ganeun daero ga = Go where the feeling takes you
