Grammar notes (4)

-아/어지네 = gets ~ed (realized)

가려진 눈앞이 피로 물들여지네

Double passive: the red was forced on her — the victim's point of view.

Pattern: [stem] + ア/オジネ

Example: 밤하늘이 물들여져 가 (the night sky gets dyed)

-아/어도 = even if

모두 내게 돌을 던져도 벗어나지 못해

Stone-throwing literalizes the mob: collective violence as physical act.

Pattern: [stem] + ア/オド + [negative]

Example: 울어도 소용없어 (crying is useless)

-ㄴ 낳은 = (that) birthed

커진 증오가 낳은 무작위 속의 target

The completed attributive: hatred has already birthed its target.

Pattern: [stem] + ン + [noun]

Example: 그들이 남긴 상처 (the scars they left)

like + even if

날카론 칼날처럼 날이 선 말이 상처 되어 파고들어도

말이 날이 선다 is idiomatic: words literally have edges that cut.

Pattern: [noun] + チョロム ナリソン + [noun]

Example: 칼처럼 베는 말 (words that cut like knives)
