Key Grammar Structures
-
운명이라면 좋겠어
➔ Conditional ending with '-(으)면' + '좋겠어'
➔ This expresses a wish or hope that something *would be* fate. The '-(으)면' ending creates a conditional clause ('if it were fate'), and '좋겠어' expresses the desire for that condition to be true. The sentence literally translates to 'If it were fate, I wish it were.'
-
그마저도 아픔이 없을 거라면
➔ '-마저도' + future tense with '-ㄹ/을 거라면'
➔ '-마저도' means 'even that' or 'even that too', emphasizing that even that last thing wouldn't cause pain. '-ㄹ/을 거라면' indicates a future condition ('if that were to be the case'). The sentence means 'If even that wouldn't hurt...'
-
다시 돌아가 네 앞에 서면
➔ '-면' conditional ending + verb in present/future tense
➔ This is a classic conditional sentence. '돌아가' (return) is connected to '서면' (stand) with '-면', meaning 'if I were to return and stand in front of you'. It sets up a hypothetical situation.
-
모든 걸 알았다고 말해주겠니
➔ '-겠니' interrogative ending indicating a question asking for a future action/statement
➔ '-겠니' is a polite interrogative ending used to ask if someone *would* do something or say something. Here, it asks 'Would you tell me that you knew everything?'
-
천년이라도 후회할
➔ Adverbial clause modifying the following verb, using '-(아/어)도'
➔ This phrase means 'even if it takes a thousand years, I will regret it'. '천년이라도' (even if a thousand years) modifies the implied verb '후회할' (to regret). The '-(아/어)도' construction indicates concession – even under that circumstance, the regret will remain.
