Questions & Answers about seonsaengnimi yeonseuphalsurok bareumi johajindaeyo.
What does -할수록 mean in 연습할수록?
-ㄹ수록 / -을수록 means the more..., as ... more and more, or the more A, the more B.
So:
- 연습할수록 = the more you practice
- 연습할수록 발음이 좋아진대요 = They say pronunciation gets better the more you practice
This pattern usually links two changes together:
- 많이 볼수록 좋아요 = The more I see it, the more I like it.
- 공부할수록 어려워요 = The more I study, the harder it gets.
Why is it 연습하다 → 연습할수록?
Because the pattern attaches to the verb stem.
- Dictionary form: 연습하다
- Stem: 연습하-
- Add -ㄹ수록
- Result: 연습할수록
This is normal for 하다 verbs:
- 공부하다 → 공부할수록
- 운동하다 → 운동할수록
- 연습하다 → 연습할수록
So 할수록 here is not a separate word meaning can do. It is just 하다 combined with the grammar pattern -ㄹ수록.
Why is it 발음이 and not 발음을?
