Long explanation:
'~(으)ㄴ/는지 모르겠다 [(eu)n/neunji moreugessda]' is a grammar structure which is used when the speaker is uncertain, unsure, unclear about something, or has a hazy knowledge of the matter being expressed. This grammar structure in Korean literally translates into English as 'I'm not sure if' or 'I don't know if'. The use of this structure highly depends on the ending of the verb/adjective.
