A/V-(으)ㄴ 나머지 — so … that — a feeling or an action went too far and led to a result nobody planned
So … that — a feeling or an action went too far and led to a result nobody planned. Korean grammar for advanced learners — Level 5A, lesson 11: 학교 이야기 (School stories — is the entrance exam still needed in the AI age? Education systems compared).
What it means
A/V-(으)ㄴ 나머지 says that a feeling or an action went too far and led to a result you did not plan: 너무 긴장한 나머지 질문을 다시 물어봤어요 'I was so nervous that I asked them to repeat the question'. Verbs take the past -(으)ㄴ (긴장한, 서두른) and adjectives -(으)ㄴ (기쁜, 피곤한), then 나머지. The first part usually has 너무 or 지나치게 and a word for a feeling. The result has already happened, so the end is usually past — no commands or suggestions.
Forms
| Pattern | When | Example |
|---|---|---|
| V-(으)ㄴ 나머지 | 동사 — 과거의 -(으)ㄴ | 긴장하다 → 긴장한 나머지 |
| A-(으)ㄴ 나머지 | 형용사 | 기쁘다 → 기쁜 나머지 |
Key points
- A/V-(으)ㄴ 나머지 = so … that (an unplanned result): verb -(으)ㄴ (긴장한 · 서두른), adjective -(으)ㄴ (기쁜 · 피곤한) + 나머지 — often with 너무.
- The result already happened and was not planned — end in the past. Not -는 바람에 (an outside event got in the way): here the cause is too much of a feeling or an action.
Examples
- 마음이나 행동이 너무 지나쳐서 생각하지 않은 결과가 생겼을 때 써요: 너무 긴장한 나머지 질문을 다시 물어봤어요.
- 동사는 과거의 -(으)ㄴ(긴장한 · 서두른), 형용사는 -(으)ㄴ(기쁜 · 피곤한)에 「나머지」를 붙여요.
- 앞에는 「너무 · 지나치게」와 마음을 나타내는 말(긴장하다 · 걱정하다 · 기쁘다)이 많이 와요.
- 결과는 이미 생긴 일이라 끝은 보통 과거예요. 「-(으)세요 · -(으)ㅂ시다」는 쓰지 않아요.
