Description

Adjective/Verb + (으)면 : This pattern is a non final ending used for conditional statements, equivalent to 'if' in English. If there is a time period [i.e. minute(s), day(s) week(s), month(s) etc] 있으면 Noun + 이다 pattern, then the meaning of 있으면 is "in (time period)" or "after (time period)." See examples below.


Notes

  • If the subject of the dependent and main clause are the same then you use the contrast markers 는/은.
  • If the subject of the dependent and main clause are different, then use the subject markers 가/이.
  • The dependent clause is attached to 면 and followed by the main clause. See the example below:
