Welcome to Part 4!

We have arrived at the last section of IU's 나의 옛날이야기. Has it been pretty easy to get through? I hope so! And hopefully, it has been a pretty easy listen, because of the lack of much background music and/or fast lyrics! Today, is probably going to be our shortest part EVER.
Have fun singing!

Let's get started!


Nouns

오늘 - today
밤 - night
내일 - tomorrow
그리고 - and
나 - me/I

Adverbs

None!

Grammar

-ㅂ니다

Verbs/Adj

영원하다 - to be forever/eternal
기다리다 - to wait
그 - that
다음 - next

Lesson.

무정한 사람아
이 밤도 나의 모든 것을
앗으려 하나 철 없던 사람아
철없던 사람아
그대는 나의 모든 것을
앗으려 하나 무정한 사람아

So, as for this section, it is almost an exact replica of the section learned in Part 2. For review, click the link! The new section is in black, while the previous section is in gray. The only different is that the words are slightly flipped around and instead of 그대는 나의 모든 것을, which meant "As for you, my everything (target mark)." In the new section, the 그대는, is changed to 이 밤도. So, the translation is changed "This night too (as well), my everything (target mark).

Moving on to the completely new stuff...
오늘 밤도 내일 밤도

Here we have a cluster of nouns. 오늘 [today], 밤 [night] - together means tonight. Attached to 밤 (both times) is the particle 도 which means even, or also. 내일 means tomorrow, so paired with night means tomorrow night. So, this sentence translates to: tonight too, and tomorrow night, too.

그리고 그 다음 밤도

그리고 means and. 그 [that] and 다음 [next] are both adjectives that are describing 밤 [night], 도 [too, also]. So this sentence translates to: and those next nights, too // the nights in the future.

영원히 난 기다립니다

영원히 is derived from the verb 영원하다 [to be eternal, forever], meaning forever, or eternally. 나 [me/I] + ㄴ [topic marker] marks ME as the topic of the sentence - AS FOR ME... 기다리다 means to wait, and the attached grammar structure is ㅂ니다 which is the most polite way of making a simple statement sentence. So, eternally/forever I am waiting. // forever, I wait.

Reading/Comprehension.

무정한 사람아
이 밤도 나의 모든 것을
앗으려 하나 철 없던 사람아

오늘 밤도 내일 밤도
그리고 그 다음 밤도
영원히 난 기다립니다

Any specific questions, suggestions, comments, and/or additions would be great! I would never mind to further explain a few points, add some other examples, or give some pointers, as well. Let's study together.

Thanks! Much of the grammar is beyond me at my novice stage, but I hope if I keep practicing with the KPop to KTalk songs, grammar will seep in to my subconscious! Your explanations are great. While I am still making simple two word baby sentences, you give me hope that someday I will comprehend and produce more complex thoughts and stop being "baby Julia".

Thanks Julia!
Those are very inspiring words~
I know for sure that after hearing them explained over and over (and over) again, you'll eventually get it! It will click, trust me! :)

Stay motivated, and Happy studying!
