Grammar notes (4)

-(으)ㄴ 만큼 = as much as

좋아하는 만큼 별은 떠오르고

Attributive + 만큼 measures the liking: the feelings become a countable sky.

Pattern: [stem] + (으)ㄴ 만큼

Example: 먹은 만큼 살 뺀다 (lose what you ate)

-았/었던 = (past attributive)

기다렸던 시간이 지나고 이제 보내줄게

기다렸던 marks the waiting as past-and-done, echoing 지나고 'passes.'

Pattern: [stem] + アットォン + [noun]

Example: 사랑했던 날들 (the days we loved)

-기엔 = for the purpose of ~ing (too much/little)

다가가기엔 너의 맘이 확실하지 않아

-기엔 frames approaching as a standard your heart falls short of.

Pattern: [stem] + 기엔

Example: 먹기엔 많아 (too much to eat)

-아/어 버리다 = completely (often with regret)

너무 좋아져버린 내 맘 볼 수 없으니까

-버리다 shows the feeling grew beyond control; -니까 gives the reason for hiding it.

Pattern: [stem] + ア/オ ブリダ + ニッカ

Example: 늦어버렸으니까 (since it's already too late)
