What's the difference between ๋นจ๊ฐ„, ๋นจ๊ฐ• & ๋นจ๊ฐ„์ƒ‰
@Samin ์‚ฌ๋ฏผ All four words relate to the color red, but they differ in grammar type and nuance. - ๋นจ๊ฐ„ -> adjective form (used before a noun) - ๋นจ๊ฐ• -> noun form (means โ€œred colorโ€) - ๋นจ๊ฐ„์ƒ‰ -> standard noun for โ€œthe color redโ€ - ๋นจ๊ฐ•์ƒ‰ -> less natural or slightly redundant form (not commonly used) Examples - ๋นจ๊ฐ„ ๊ฝƒ์ด ์˜ˆ๋ป์š”.-> The red flower is pretty. (Using the adjective form) - ๋‚˜๋Š” ๋นจ๊ฐ•์„ ์ œ์ผ ์ข‹์•„ํ•ด์š”.-> I like red the most. (Using the noun form) - ๊ทธ ์น˜๋งˆ๋Š” ๋นจ๊ฐ„์ƒ‰์ด์—์š”.-> That skirt is red. (Using the standard color noun) - ๊ทธ ์น˜๋งˆ๋Š” ๋นจ๊ฐ•์ƒ‰์ด์—์š”. โŒ-> (Sounds unnatural / not standard) I hope this helps!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Great Question from Samin!
@Samin ์‚ฌ๋ฏผ Koreans use the โ€œ-๋‹คโ€ form in casual writing (SNS, comments, captions, diaries) as a neutral, narrative-style statement. It feels like youโ€™re talking to yourself, making a comment, or writing a caption. It's not polite or formal, itโ€™s just plain and simple. Explanation Why Koreans use it - gives a caption / monologue feeling - sounds direct and natural - common among friends online - slightly dramatic or humorous Examples: - ๋ง›์žˆ๋‹ค = โ€œItโ€™s delicious.โ€ (stated to yourself) - ์˜ˆ์˜๋‹ค = โ€œItโ€™s pretty.โ€ - ๊ฐ€์•ผ๊ฒ ๋‹ค = โ€œGuess I should go.โ€ How it compares - โ€“๋‹ค = neutral narration - โ€“์š” = polite, friendly - โ€“์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค = formal speech Is it used in speaking? Yes, but mainly: - talking to yourself - quoting someone - lectures or announcements - Not for regular conversation. Examples - ์˜ค๋Š˜ ๋‚ ์”จ ์ข‹๋‹ค. โ†’ โ€œThe weather is nice.โ€ - ์•„... ๋“œ๋””์–ด ๋๋‚ฌ๋‹ค. โ†’ โ€œFinally, itโ€™s over.โ€ (self-talk)
