Detailed Grammar notes:
Processing keyword: ~하다가 말다 [hadaga malda] (Stop doing something)
The expression ~하다가 말다 is used to indicate that an action was begun but then deliberately stopped before it was completed. This construction maps a scenario where someone begins an action and then chooses to stop, often implying that the pause or cessation was incidental or a result of an unforeseen circumstance.
[Verb Stem] + 다가 + 말다
Element | Explanation | Example |
---|---|---|
Verb Stem | The root form of the verb | 가다 (to go) -> 간다 (going) |
다가 | Indicates progression of action | I was going... |
말다 | To stop or cease doing | I stop (doing) |
This grammar point can be compared to similar expressions such as:
In Korean culture, it's common to be polite and considerate of others. Thus, using ~하다가 말다 in conversations may indicate that you value your interaction with others more than the task you were engaged in.
The usage of this grammar point can vary in levels of politeness based on context. It can be adjusted in formality by changing the verb endings.
