Long explanation:
'~이/히다 [i/hida]' is a grammar point in Korean that is used to indicate a change in the state or condition of a subject, akin to 'become' in English. This form is often used when expressing a transformation, transition or evolution of one state to another. It is important to note that there is a transformational process that takes place before the desired or completed state is achieved.
