Grammar notes (4)

-ㄹ 법하다 = likely to / seems fit to

들어볼래 동화 속에 나올 법한 얘기

-ㄹ 법하다 grades the likelihood first: the tale earns its believability before it starts.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄹ 법하다

Example: 올 법하다 (likely to come)

꿈을 꾸는 modifies 꿈: a dream that dreams

너와 같은 꿈을 꾸는 꿈 꿀래

The dream nests recursively — and both sleepers share the inner one.

Pattern: [stem] + 는 + [noun]

Example: 지우는 지우개 (an eraser that erases)

여긴 = here (topic); 은 twice = emphatic topic

여긴 슬픈 엔딩은 없어

은 isolates 'sad ending' as a topic just to deny its existence here.

Pattern: [noun] + 는 없다

Example: 없다 (there is none)

-아 오다 = come ~ing

반짝이는 너의 맘 그 빛이 나를 따라와

The light grows feet: it doesn't just shine — it chases.

Pattern: [stem] + 아 오다

Example: 불어 오다 (blow this way)
