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
