Grammar notes (12)
冠形 -는 (動詞修飾名詞)
사냥감을 거듭해 찾는 워리어S
The modifier -는 turns a verb into a noun modifier. 찾는 (from 찾다, to find) is 'that keeps finding'.
Pattern: Verb stem + 는 (attributive)
Example: 노래하는 사람 (唱歌的人)
-ㄴ 것 (것+은 縮約 건)
내가 제일 싫은 건 낡은 대물림
The thing that… (ㄴ 것). 싫은 건 = 싫은 것 + 은, 'the thing I hate is…'.
Pattern: Adjective + ㄴ 것 + 은 → 건
Example: 좋아하는 건 피자예요 (我喜歡的是披薩)
-마치 + 比喻 (如…一般)
어둠 속 불을 켜 마치 rebellion
마치 (as if) sets up a simile. Here '마치 rebellion' = 'like a rebellion'. In formal Korean -마치 ~처럼.
Pattern: 마치 + 名詞/句
Example: 마치 꿈처럼 (宛如夢境)
-따위 (這類東西, 貶義)
바란 적도 없어 용서 따위는
따위 marks something as trivial/disdainful. 용서 따위는 = 'forgiveness and such (scoff)'.
Pattern: 名詞 + 따위
Example: 남의 말 따위는 신경 안 써 (別人說的話我不在乎)
-겨누다 瞄準 + 縮約 -아/어
난 금기를 겨눠 watch me now
겨눠 is 겨누다 (to aim) + 아/어 connective. 'To target'.
Pattern: 動詞 -아/어 (連接形)
Example: 목표를 겨눠 (瞄準目標)
邀約 -자 (走吧)
나랑 선 넘어 같이 가자 my unforgiven boys
-자 is the suggestion form 'let's…'. 가자 (from 가다) = 'let's go'.
Pattern: 動詞 + 자
Example: 같이 공부하자 (一起學習吧)
被動 -어지다 (被…)
한계 위로 남겨지는 우리 이름
-어지다 makes a passive. 남겨지다 = to be left/deposited (from 남기다, to leave behind).
Pattern: 動詞 + 어지다
Example: 문이 닫혀졌어요 (門被關上了)
-없이 (無…地) + -로는/론 (以…來說)
내 방식 아주 원 없이 또 한국말론 아주 철없이
-없이 turns a noun into 'without X'. 원 없이 = without regret. -로는 (축약론) = 'in the manner/say of'.
Pattern: 名詞 + 없이 / 名詞 + 로는
Example: 힘없이 (無力地) / 한국말로는 (用韓語來說)
-아/어두다 (預先做、維持狀態)
미래 그 앞에 새겨둬 나의 story
-아/어두다 = 'do in advance / leave in a state'. 새겨둬 (from 새기다, to carve) = 'carve (and keep)'.
Pattern: 動詞 + 아/어 + 두다
Example: 메모를 적어둬 (事先記下筆記)
-이면 (如果…的話)
신념이 죄면 난 villain
-이면 = 'if it is…'. 죄면 (죄+이면 contraction) = 'if it's a sin'.
Pattern: 名詞 + 이면 → 면
Example: 비가 오면 (如果下雨)
-게 되다 + -ㄹ 거야 (將變成…會…)
Oh 보게 될 거야 나다움
-게 되다 = 'come to', -ㄹ 거야 = future 'will'. 보게 될 거야 = 'you will come to see'.
Pattern: 動詞 + 게 되다 + ㄹ 거야
Example: 곧 알게 될 거야 (很快就會知道了)
