ABSTRACT

Nominalizing endings change a verb or an adjective into a noun form. Examples of English nominalizing endings include the gerund “~ing” (e.g., studying), “~ment” (e.g., accomplishment), and “~ation” (e.g., legalization). This unit introduces two Korean nominalizing endings, ~기 and ~(으)ㅁ, as well as some useful expressions that incorporate one of these two nominalizing endings.
