| Notes | Despite the past tense meaning conveyed by -(으)ㄴ, the result of a past action is usually related to the current situation. This corresponds to the 'present described by past' concept. <깨지다 (to break) → 깨진 (broken) →→ 깨진 거울 (broken mirror) <English translations to the past simple and the present perfect tenses are both appropriate depending on the situation. However, the past meaning expressed by -(으)ㄴ is more similar to the present perfect. |
