Profile
I have resided in four of the seven continents of the world---- North America(where I was born), Africa, Europe, and Asia. To be even more specific, I've either lived in or visited Canada, Japan, Korea, Germany, Nigeria, and multiple states throughout the U.S. I'm actively pursuing a Bachelor of Arts and majoring in International Studies. My hobbies include: (pretty much every art form) singing, music culture, acting, watching movies or dramas/tv shows, dance, film-making/videography, photography, writing, reading(books), music production, playing piano and some guitar, basketball, volleyball, studying languages, any multicultural activity, etc. I actually speak approximately seven languages(I wouldn't consider myself to be fluent, but native friends and family of mine from a few of the countries I previously mentioned seem to believe otherwise lol) ---- English(native), Igbo; my parents' native language (one out of the many innumerable languages of Nigeria), Spanish, German, Korean, Japanese, and some Mandarin (Chinese). I really enjoy traveling and getting to know people from all walks of life. I occasionally volunteer at my local homeless shelter and I also attend Korean class each Saturday.

    -ㄴ 건 describes a past action, -는 건 describes the present action, and -ㄹ 건 describes an action that will take place in the future. 공부를 시작한 건 3년전이지만, 저는 이탈리아어를 잘 하지 못해요. = I started studying 3 years ago, but I'm not good at Italian. 공부를 시작한 건 = The studying which started (past) 공부를 시작하는 건 = Beginning to study (now) 공부를 시작할 건 = To start studying (in the future) 시작한 건 literally means what started/something that started (in the past)

    I think that you're probably asking if -(으)러 and -(으)려고 have the same meaning. Yes, they do, but they have different roles. They both mean with the intent/in order to. -(으)러 can only be used with the verbs 오다, 가다, and 다니다(come/go/frequent or attend) as -(으)러 오다, -(으)러 가다, and -(으)러 다니다 in only statement, question, suggestive, and command sentences. -(으)려고 can be used with all other verbs except in sentences that suggest doing an activity or give a command. For example; 머리가 아파서 약을 사러 약국에 가요. = My head hurts so I go/I'm going to the drugstore (with the intent/in order) to buy medicine. This is correct. 머리가 아파서 약국에 가려고 약을 사요. = My head hurts so (with the intent/in order) to go to the drugstore, I buy/I'm buying medicine. This is incorrect order because being able to purchase medicine, shouldn't be the causal factor that leads to arrival at the drugstore. 머리가 아파서 약을 사려고 약국에 가요. = My head hurts so (with the intent/in order) to buy medicine I go/I'm going to the drugstore. This is also correct. -(으)려고 can also be used with the 하다 verb as -(으)려고 하다 which means to be about to do. For example; 지금 가려고 해요. = I'm going/leaving now. or I'm about to go/leave now. So, in conclusion: your first sentence is correct, but the second wouldn't be because of the incorrect order of verbs. It should be: 머리가 아파서 약을 사려고 약국에 가요.

    그들은 바위에 있는 통로를 기어 올라가다가 Hagrid의 등불을 따라가서 마침내 성의 바로 그늘 속에 있는 부드럽고 축축한 풀밭 위로 나온다. 거친 번역 죄송합니다.~~^^

    I've actually heard this song recently and I know a bit of the lyrics.. lol -듯하다 (…것 같다) = to look like, to seem, to appear, to sound like, to look as if 잡히다 = to be grabbed/caught/grasped 잡히지 않으니까 = because one (I/you/he/she/it/they) don't/can't be/doesn't get caught Example: 손에 잡히다 = to get ahold of 손에 잡힐 듯하다 = to be within one's (my/your/his/her/its/their) grasp/hands. 손에 잡히지 않아요. = One (I/you/he/she/it/they) can't get ahold of usu. it. So .. (Second stanza of first verse) 니 손에 올려주고 싶어 (파란 하늘) = I want to place it (the blue sky) in your hands 잡힐 듯 잡히지 않으니까 = yet, I can't seem to get ahold of it.. I think I agree with Tony on this one. The phrase "the blue sky seems so close, yet so out of reach" would be a more appropriate English translation to describe the situation in the song :) 평생 간직하고 싶은데 = I want to cherish it for a lifetime, but 너와 나를 저 해질녘처럼 행복의 순간은 넘 짧아 = like the sunset (the part of the sunset where there's barely any trace of blue sky left; right before it becomes dark or in other words, dusk), the moment of happiness is too short for you and me
