Long explanation:
'안 [an]' is a type of adverb used in Korean to negate verbs and adjectives. It holds the meaning of 'not' in English. By positioning '안 [an]' in front of a verb or adjective, it negates the meaning of that verb or adjective. Therefore, it fundamentally changes the meaning of the sentence by conveying the opposite of what the original verb or adjective meant.
