-것-

Korean

Etymology

See the main entry.

Suffix

것 • (-geot-)

  1. Early Modern and southern dialectal form of 겠 (-get-, confirmative suffix)

Usage notes
  • The dialectal word is now usually written 겄 (-geot-). Since the suffix in question always occurs before 다 (-da), it cannot be discerned whether this is true on a phonological level or simply orthographic conflation of the two suffixes.
