Questions & Answers about geupjeonggeoreul hamyeon gamjeomi issseupnida.

What does 급정거 mean exactly?

급정거 is a noun meaning a sudden stop or sudden braking.

• 급 = sudden, urgent
• 정거 = stop

In real usage, 급정거를 하다 means to make a sudden stop / to brake suddenly.

So in this sentence, 급정거를 하면 means if you make a sudden stop.

Why is it 급정거를 하면 and not just 급정거하면?

Because 급정거 is being used as a noun here, and Korean often makes verbs with noun + 하다.

So the structure is:

• 급정거 = sudden stop
• 급정거를 하다 = to do a sudden stop, to brake suddenly

The 를 marks 급정거 as the object of 하다.

So:

• 급정거를 하면 = if you do a sudden stop

You may also see 급정거하다, which is essentially the same idea in a more dictionary-like verb form. But noun + 를 하다 is very common and natural.

What does 하면 mean here?

하면 is the conditional form of 하다, and it means if (someone) does or sometimes when (someone) does, depending on context.

Breakdown:

• 하다 = to do
• 하면 = if one does / when one does

So:

• 급정거를 하면 = if you brake suddenly / if one makes a sudden stop

In this sentence, it gives a general rule: whenever sudden braking happens, there is a penalty.
