Grammar notes (5)

-여지다 = causative + passive

길들여지면 되나

길들다 → 길들이다 (tame something) → 길들여지다 (be tamed). Stacked derivations are everywhere.

Pattern: [stem] + causative + 어지다

Example: 보이다 → 보여지다 (be seen) / 먹이다 → 먹여지다 (be fed)

-아도 / -ㄴ대도 = even if

불꽃에 사로잡혀도 버려진대도 정답은 지금 알 수 없어

-아도 and -ㄴ대도 both concede: 'even if seized, even if (they say I'll be) abandoned.'

Pattern: [stem] + 아도 / -ㄴ대도

Example: 늦어도 괜찮아 (late is fine) / 안 된대도 해 볼래 (I'll try even if they say no)

데려가다 = take someone away

뜨거운 심장 나를 데려가

데려가다 = take (a person) away; 데려오다 = bring over. For people/pets only.

Pattern: [person] + 데려가다/오다

Example: 친구를 데려갔어 (took a friend along) / 강아지 데려왔어 (brought the puppy over)

-ㄴ다 해도 = even if (supposing)

이대로 달린다 해도 멈춘다 해도 결과는 지금 알 수 없어

-ㄴ다 해도 = even supposing: hypothetically conceding both outcomes.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ다 해도

Example: 진다 해도 덤벼 (fight even if you'll lose) / 비 온다 해도 가 (go even if it rains)

-ㄹ지 모르다 = don't know how/whether

어떻게 해야 할지 몰라서 멈춰 있는 너

-ㄹ지 모르다 embeds a question: 'don't know what to do.'

Pattern: [question word] + -ㄹ지 모르다

Example: 뭘 사야 할지 모르겠어 (don't know what to buy) / 언제 끝날지 몰라 (don't know when it ends)
