Key Grammar Structures

• Can never get enough

  ➔ Use of "never" as an adverb of frequency with "can"

  ➔ Expresses the inability to reach a point of satisfaction or limit. "Never" modifies "can get", indicating that one will "never" be satisfied.

• 난 아직 나를 모르지만, oh, yeah

  ➔ Use of the conjunction "지만" (jiman) indicating contrast/concession.

  ➔ Expresses a contrast between not knowing oneself yet ("난 아직 나를 모르지만") and a feeling of positivity or acceptance, indicated by "oh, yeah". The '지만' shows a contrast between the two clauses.

• 겁 없이 올라 하늘 높이 and falling in, falling in love

  ➔ Use of adverb "겁 없이" modifying the verb "올라". Present participle "falling" used as a gerund following a preposition.

  ➔ "겁 없이" means "without fear", modifying "올라" (going up). "Falling in love" acts as a verbal phrase following the "in" preposition, showing the action occurring while going up to the sky.

• 내 맘 속에 녹아버리니

  ➔ Use of the Korean verb ending "-니" to express discovery or realization.

  ➔ The ending "-니" in "녹아버리니" (nokabeorini) implies a sudden realization that something is melting within the speaker's heart.

• 무질서한 그대로

  ➔ Use of adjective + "그대로" (geudaero) meaning "as is", "in its original state".

  ➔ "무질서한 그대로" (mujilseohan geudaero) means "as is, in its disorderly state". The 그대로 emphasizes accepting something in its current condition without change.

• 부딪치고 깨져도 이 꿈에서, 우린 generation

  ➔ Use of "-아/어/여도" grammar pattern indicating concession or condition ('even if').

  ➔ "부딪치고 깨져도" (budijchigo kkaejeodo) translates to "even if we collide and break". The "-아/어/여도" emphasizes that even with these negative outcomes, they still remain "generation" within this dream.
