어ᇝ (-eom-)
- Suffix indicating the continuous aspect of a verb not in the past tense. For action verbs, it is largely equivalent to English "is... ing"; for stative verbs/adjectives, it has an inchoative meaning equivalent to "to become...; to begin to be...".
Usage notes
[edit]- If the syllable to which 어ᇝ (-eom-) is appended ends in the vowel 어 (eo) or 으 (eu), the two syllables usually contract.
- The same is true for 아ᇝ (-am-) and the vowel 아 (a).
