Key Grammar Structures

• 마시고 마셔봐도 성에 차지 않아

  ➔ V-아/어도 (even if/though) and V-아/어보다 (to try doing something)

  ➔ The grammatical pattern "V-아/어도" (even if/though) is combined with "V-아/어보다" (to try doing something). Here, "마시고 마셔봐도" means "even if I drink and try to drink." It conveys that despite repeated efforts ("마시고 마셔봐도"), the desired outcome (satisfaction, "성에 차지 않아") is not achieved.

• Every sip makes me want more, yeah

  ➔ Causative verb "make" + object + bare infinitive

  ➔ The verb "make" is used in a causative sense, meaning "to cause someone or something to do something." The structure is "make + object + base form verb (bare infinitive)," as seen in "makes me want." It indicates that "Every sip" causes "me" to "want more."

• 너 말곤 모두 뻔해, 뻔해, 뻔해

  ➔ ~말고는 (~말곤) (except for, other than)

  ➔ The grammatical pattern "~말고는" (often shortened to "~말곤" in informal speech) means "except for" or "other than." It emphasizes that everything or everyone *else* fits a certain description, but the specified noun is an exception. Here, it means "everything is obvious/boring except for you."

• 지금 당장 날 봐 시간 없잖아

  ➔ ~잖아 (you know, isn't it?) - conversational ending

  ➔ The ending "~잖아" is a common conversational suffix in Korean. It is used to express that the speaker believes the listener already knows or should know what is being said, often implying a rhetorical question or a gentle assertion. It conveys a sense of shared understanding or common knowledge ("You know it, don't you?").

• Uh, make me wanna flip the top

  ➔ Informal "wanna" (want to) and causative "make"

  ➔ "Wanna" is an informal contraction of "want to." This is combined with the causative verb "make" (make + object + bare infinitive), meaning "to cause someone to want to do something." So, "make me wanna" means "make me want to."

• 소름 돋아 it's gettin' hot

  ➔ Idiomatic expression "소름 돋다" and informal "gettin'"

  ➔ "소름 돋다" is a Korean idiom meaning "to get goosebumps" or "to get chills," often used to express a strong feeling like excitement, fear, or a thrilling sensation. "Gettin'" is an informal, contracted form of "getting" (part of the present continuous tense, "it's getting hot").

• 꿈 속에 그려왔던 너

  ➔ V-아/어오다 (continuous action from past to present) and ~던 (recollective past modifier)

  ➔ This phrase combines two advanced Korean grammar points. "V-아/어오다" indicates an action that has been continuously happening from the past up to the present. The suffix "~던" is a past recollective modifier used to describe a noun that was the object or result of an action that occurred repeatedly or continuously in the past, or something that was recalled from the past. Together, "그려왔던" describes "너" (you) as the one "who I have continuously drawn/imagined in my dreams [up until now]."

• 난 절대 놓칠 수 없어

  ➔ 절대 (absolutely/never) + V-을/ㄹ 수 없다 (cannot)

  ➔ "절대" means "absolutely" or "never." When used with a negative verb form like "V-을/ㄹ 수 없다" (cannot, literally "cannot do"), it strongly emphasizes the impossibility or a firm determination not to do something. So, "절대 놓칠 수 없어" means "I absolutely cannot miss/lose [you]."

• Just can't get enough

  ➔ Idiomatic expression "can't get enough"

  ➔ The idiom "can't get enough" means that one desires something so much that they are never satisfied, regardless of how much they have or experience. It expresses an intense liking or craving, indicating an insatiable desire.
