V-아/어/해 내다

1. V-아/어/해 내다

2. Grammar Explanation

The grammar pattern V-아/어/해 내다 is used to express the completion of an action, especially when it involves a sense of doing something until it is fully done or completed, often with an implication of effort or difficulty. It is used to show that the subject has done something until the end or to indicate that an action was performed with a sense of finality. This structure is commonly used with verbs that represent actions that are completed and often used in contexts where the subject has gone through the effort to ensure that something is finished.

The structure can be broken down into two parts:

1. Verb Stem + -아/어/해 내다:

   • -아/어: This attaches to the verb stem depending on whether the last vowel of the verb stem is in the ‘a’ or ‘o’ group (for -아) or the ‘e’ or ‘i’ group (for -어).

   • 내다: This implies doing something completely, often with the sense of effort, or overcoming a difficulty to complete the action.

For example, "끝내다" (to finish) and "하다" (to do) can often appear in the pattern V-아/어 내다 when expressing that something was done until the very end or fully completed.
