Key Grammar Structures
-
이제는 연락조차 받질 않아
➔ **-조차** (even/not even)
➔ The particle "조차" emphasizes that the speaker isn't even receiving calls anymore, implying a complete lack of contact. The sentence structure is "[topic] + [object] + 조차 + [negative verb]".
-
시간을 가지자 이 말을 난 있는 그대로
➔ **-는/은/ㄹ 그대로** (as is/literally)
➔ Here, "있는 그대로" means the speaker took the phrase "시간을 가지자" (let's have some time apart) literally, without considering any hidden meanings. It highlights the naivety or simplicity in understanding.
-
Congratulations 넌 참 대단해
➔ **참** (truly, really, very)
➔ "참 대단해" means "You're truly amazing/impressive". "참" emphasizes the degree of being amazing/impressive.
-
아무렇지 않아 하며 날 짓밟아
➔ **-아/어/여 하다** (to feel/think)
➔ "아무렇지 않아 하며" describes the other person's behavior. It shows they are acting as if they feel nothing. Used with verbs that describe feeling or thought to indicate third person or habitual action.
-
내 눈을 보면서 믿게 해놓고
➔ **-게 하다** (to make someone do something/cause)
➔ "믿게 해놓고" means "(you) made (me) believe". It signifies that the other person caused the speaker to believe something through their actions (looking into their eyes).
-
그래 너가 행복하면 됐지
➔ **-으면/면 됐지** (it's enough if.../it's all that matters if...)
➔ The speaker uses "행복하면 됐지" ironically. Although the literal translation is "It's enough if you're happy," the context shows that he doesn't really mean it, especially because the following line rejects this sentiment.
-
대체 내가 왜 날 떠난 너한테 행복을 바래야 돼 절대
➔ **-아야/어야 되다/하다** (must/should/have to)
➔ "바래야 돼" means "I have to wish for", expressing the need or obligation. The rhetorical question emphasizes the speaker's refusal to wish happiness for the person who left him.
