LV2: Lessons 19-20

Question 1

-는 것

Answer 1

doing (something)

notes:
-when changing an acting verb into a noun in this way (verb stem + -는 것), the form can take many different meanings

1. “doing” something
2. the act of “doing” something
3. the thing which one “does”
4. what one “does”
5. the fact that one is “doing” or “does” something

것 originally means “a thing”, “an object”, or “stuff” but when used in this way, it can also mean “a fact” or “an act”

-는 거 is sometimes used because it is easier to pronounce (but it is never used in formal situations)
