Long explanation:
The phrase '~어/아 다니다' is utilized in Korean to denote that an action is constantly taking place or keeps on being done, either out of habit or as a normal state of things. It implies that the subject continuously engages in a certain action or habit regularly or frequently. The verb stem decides whether to use '어' or '아'. If the verb stem's last syllable ends with a 'ㅏ' or 'ㅗ', '아' is used. Otherwise, '어' is applied.
