"-더-" meaning in Korean

See -더- in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Suffix

IPA: [dʌ̹~də~dɯ] Forms: [canonical], -deo- [romanization]
Etymology: From Middle Korean 더〮 (-té), from Old Korean 如 (*-ta). The Middle Korean suffix (and presumably Old Korean, although data is rather lacking) was quite different in meaning, being closer to a simple imperfective aspect marker; see the Middle Korean entry for more. The shift to the modern nuances is first attested in texts from the late eighteenth century. 던 (-deon, past adnominal marker) preserves the original meaning. Etymology templates: {{inh|ko|okm|더〮|tr=-té}} Middle Korean 더〮 (-té), {{inh|ko|oko|如|tr=*-ta}} Old Korean 如 (*-ta) Head templates: {{ko-suffix}} 더 • (-deo-)
  1. The retrospective suffix, marking that the speaker (in declaratives) or the addressee (in interrogatives) has personally observed the action/state conveyed by the verb/adjective, or a fact from which the action/state could be inferred; that either this action/state was not taken by the observer, or the observer did not do so purposefully; and that this action/state occurred at a place or time removed from the current conversation. It adds a nuance that one is speaking of the action/state from the subjective viewpoint of an external observer. Tags: morpheme
