ABSTRACT
Korean has a number of idiomatic expressions that consist of one of three noun-modifying endings (i.e., ~는/(으)ㄴ/(으)ㄹ) and a noun, such as 길 “road,” 적 “time,” 동안 “during,” and so forth. Since these nouns always appear after the noun-modifying endings (e.g., ~는 길 or ~은 적), they are called “post modifiers.” This unit introduces seven special expressions that are made by combining one of three noun-modifying endings with one of the following post modifiers: 길, 적, 일, 동안, 도중, 중, and 편.
