A/V-(으)ㄹ뿐더러 — not only … but also — adding a second, stronger point in the same direction (close to -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라 · -거니와 from Lesson 4B-8)
Not only … but also — adding a second, stronger point in the same direction (close to -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라 · -거니와 from Lesson 4B-8). Korean grammar for advanced learners — Level 5B, lesson 1: 캠퍼스 첫 학기 (First semester on campus — orientation, clubs, seniors and juniors, cafeteria life, and turning down a drink).
What it means
A/V-(으)ㄹ뿐더러 adds a second, more important point to the first: 친구가 생길뿐더러 선배들의 도움도 받을 수 있어요 'you make friends, and on top of that you can get help from seniors'. The two points must be on the same side — good and good, or bad and bad. After a vowel or a ㄹ stem add -ㄹ뿐더러 (쌀뿐더러); after a 받침 add -을뿐더러 (많을뿐더러); for the past, -았/었을뿐더러. It means much the same as -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라 but is shorter, and it is common in guides, presentations and writing.
Forms
| Pattern | When | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -ㄹ뿐더러 | 받침 X · ㄹ 받침 | 싸다 → 쌀뿐더러 |
| -을뿐더러 | 받침 O | 많다 → 많을뿐더러 |
| -았/었을뿐더러 · N일뿐더러 | 과거 · 명사 | 없었다 → 없었을뿐더러 |
Key points
- A/V-(으)ㄹ뿐더러 = not only … but also — the second point is usually the stronger one; 도 or 까지 often follows.
- Same direction only (good + good, bad + bad). Close to -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라 · -거니와 (Lesson 4B-8) — shorter, more formal, one word.
Examples
- 앞의 내용에 더 중요한 내용을 하나 더 붙일 때 써요: 친구가 생길뿐더러 선배들의 도움도 받을 수 있어요.
- 앞과 뒤가 같은 쪽이어야 해요. 좋은 것과 좋은 것, 나쁜 것과 나쁜 것.
- 받침 X · ㄹ 받침 → -ㄹ뿐더러(쌀뿐더러), 받침 O → -을뿐더러(많을뿐더러), 과거 → -았/었을뿐더러.
- 「-(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라」와 뜻이 비슷한데 더 짧아요. 안내문 · 발표 · 글에서 많이 써요.
