Key Grammar Structures

• 모든 걸 한 단어로 표현할 수 있어

  ➔ **-(으)ㄹ 수 있다/없다**

  ➔ Expresses ability or possibility. The verb stem attaches to '-(으)ㄹ 수 있다' for 'can' or '-(으)ㄹ 수 없다' for 'cannot'. The existence of 받침 (final consonant) in verb stem decides use of 을. In this sentence '표현하다' (to express), loses '다' and attach 'ㄹ 수 있어'(can)

• 이런 거야

  ➔ **-(이)야**

  ➔ Informal way of saying 'it is' or 'this is'. The '이' is added if the preceding noun ends in a consonant (받침). '거' ends with a vowel, so '야' is used.

• 맙소사, 저 새로운 비트 (완전 gnarly)

  ➔ Exclamatory interjection + Adjective

  ➔ "맙소사" is an interjection expressing surprise. "완전" is used to intensify the adjective "gnarly".

• 너도 이제 gang

  ➔ **Subject + Adverb + Now + Noun**

  ➔ "너도" is "you also" (subject), "이제" is "now" (adverb), "gang" is the noun. Indicates that the listener has also become part of the group.

• 지루한 멍청이를 위한 비트를 만들어

  ➔ **-(으)ㄹ/를 위해(서)**

  ➔ Indicates purpose or reason. The '-(으)ㄹ' is added based on whether the preceding noun has a final consonant (받침). '멍청이' ends with '이' which makes you use '-를'. Thus, '멍청이를 위해서'. '만들어' (to make, create).

• 내 저택이 부럽니?

  ➔ **-니?**

  ➔ An informal question ending. It's similar to '-아/어/여?', but '-니?' is used with adjectives or verbs that end in a consonant (받침). Used with friends. '부럽다' (to be envious), becomes '부럽니?' (Are you envious?)
