Grammar notes (4)

-지만 = but / although

망가져가지만 피었지

Progressive 'breaking' beside perfect 'bloomed' — ruin and bloom in one breath.

Pattern: [stem] + ジマン

Example: 늦었지만 왔어 (late, but I came)

-처럼 = like / as

독처럼 퍼지는 기억이

-처럼 turns remembering into poisoning: spreading, uncontrolled, deeper.

Pattern: [noun] + 처럼 + [verb]

Example: 불처럼 타오르다 (blaze like fire)

-ㄴ = (attributive after vowel)

온기를 잃은 심장

잃은 completes the loss before the noun: a heart, already cold.

Pattern: [stem] + (ヌン) + [noun]

Example: 빛을 잃은 별 (a star that lost its light)

-는 = (attributive, ongoing)

어둠 속에 홀로 춤을 추는 이 불길

-는 keeps the flame dancing right now — resilience in the present tense.

Pattern: [stem] + ヌン + [noun]

Example: 밤을 새우는 사람 (one pulling an all-nighter)
