ABSTRACT
Nominalizing endings transform a verb or an adjective into a noun form. Examples of English nominalzing endings include “~tion” (e.g., inform = information) “~ing” (e.g., serve = serving), “~ment” (e.g., agree = agreement), “~ance (e.g., accept = acceptance) and “~sion” (e.g., collide = collision). This chapter discusses three Korean nominalizing endings ~기, ~(으)ㅁ, and ~이, as well as the form ~는 것, which can also change a verb or adjective into a noun form.
