Questions & Answers about biga wado urineun pyeongsocheoreom moil geoya.

What does the ending in 와도 mean?

The connective ending -아/어도 means “even if/even though.” It attaches to a verb or adjective stem and introduces a concessive clause. Here, 오다 → 와도 means “even if it rains,” and the main clause states what still happens despite that.

• Formation: stems with ㅏ/ㅗ take -아도; others take -어도; 하다 → 해도.
• Note: The 도 here is part of the ending and does not mean “also/too.”

Why is it 와도 and not 오아도?

Because of vowel contraction. 오다 + -아도 would be 오아도, but 오 + 아 → 와, so you get 와도. The same happens in forms like 와요 (from 오 + 아요) and with other ㅗ/ㅏ stems (e.g., 보다 → 봐도).

Why does Korean say 비가 오다 (literally “rain comes”) instead of “it rains”?

Korean often treats weather as a subject that “comes” or “falls.” So:

• 비가 오다 = “rain comes” → “it rains”
• 눈이 오다 = “snow comes” → “it snows” This is a common idiom and completely natural in Korean.

How is 비가 와도 different from 비가 오면?

• -면 = “if/when” (neutral condition): 비가 오면 = “if/when it rains.”
• -아/어도 = “even if/even though” (concession): 비가 와도 = “even if it rains (we’ll still…).” Your sentence states that the action will happen regardless of the rain, not that the rain triggers it.
