Long explanation:
'아/어/여 주다 [a/eo/yeo juda]' is a verb ending used in Korean to express the action of doing something for someone else. It is formed by attaching 아/어/여 to the stem of an action verb, followed by 주다. The resulting phrase conveys the idea of the subject performing the action on behalf of or for the benefit of someone else. This is often used to express kindness, favor, or doing something for someone else's convenience or benefit.
