Grammar notes (4)

-는 것보다 = than (doing) ~

우는 것보다 웃을 때가 더 아파

보다 flips the scale: the happy side hurts more — a gauge of how deep the sadness goes.

Pattern: [stem] + 는 것보다

Example: 말하는 것보다 (rather than talking)

-(이)야 = must be (only if)

숨겨진 9와 4분의 3엔 함께여야 갈 수 있어

-여야 makes the condition a state of being: 'us' itself is the ticket.

Pattern: [noun] + 야 + verb 수 있다

Example: 성인이여야 (only if adult)

-이 되다 = become ~

꿈속은 현실이 돼

-이 되다 completes the equation: pass the tunnel and the worlds simply swap.

Pattern: [noun] + 가 되다

Example: 현실이 되다 (become real)

-(이)라는 = called / named ~

우리라는 마법에 데려가 줘

-라는 names the spell: the relationship itself is the magic worth entering.

Pattern: [noun] + 라는 + [noun]

Example: 사랑이라는 (called love)
