Questions & Answers about bokdo kkeute geollyeo issdeon sajineul dasi georeo dwo.
What does 복도 끝에 mean and how is it formed?
복도 means “hallway,” 끝 means “end,” and 끝에 is 끝 plus the location particle 에, so 복도 끝에 literally means “at the end of the hallway.”
What is 걸려 있던 and how does it work here grammatically?
걸려 있던 is a verb phrase modifying 사진. It’s built from 걸리다 (“to hang”), the stative auxiliary -어 있다 (indicating a resulting state), and the past modifier -던. Together they form “(the picture) that was hanging.”
What nuance does the past modifier -던 add in 걸려 있던?
The suffix -던 marks a past state or action that the speaker recalls or that no longer holds. In 걸려 있던, it tells us “it was hanging (then),” implying it’s not hanging now.
Why is 다시 used here, and is its placement important?
다시 means “again.” As an adverb, it precedes the verb phrase it modifies—in this case 걸어 둬—to show you’re repeating the hanging action.
What is the function of 두다 in 걸어 둬, and what nuance does it add compared to just 걸어?
