Korean grammar - To try, to give something a go - 보다 |
|||
|
|||
Pattern: Present tense Verb + 보다 This pattern expresses the sense of testing, tasting, sampling or giving something a go. It is NOT used in the sense of 'to make an effort' to do something. Indeed, it can mean the opposite in the sense 'just a little effort' is being applied - to try it out without any commitment. |
