설명

Contrast connector.

Works on V/A.

Start with “작지만 편해요.” (Small but comfy.). Say the whole sentence first, then identify exactly what -지만 contributes before changing any other words.

Compare “가고 싶지만 못 가요.” with “비싸지만 사요.”. Keep the function of -지만 the same while noticing what changes around it; then rebuild one of the examples with vocabulary you already know.

예문

작지만 편해요.

Small but comfy.

가고 싶지만 못 가요.

Want to go but can't.

비싸지만 사요.

Expensive but I buy.

흔한 실수

  • Do not choose -지만 only because an English translation contains “but”. Check the Korean function, attachment, and speech level in the full sentence.
  • Do not memorize -지만 as an isolated ending. Mark the stem or phrase it attaches to in one example, then rebuild that example with new vocabulary.

연습 방법

  1. Production check: say “작지만 편해요.” naturally, then change one content word without changing the job -지만 is doing.
  2. When a related pattern is listed below, compare both forms in the same situation instead of memorizing two English glosses separately.
