TL;DR πŸ¦„
  • -(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„ means the intention to... / the intention of doing...
  • It combines the future noun modifier -(으)γ„Ή with the noun μ˜λ„ β€œintention.”
  • Use it to talk about the aim behind an action, especially in formal or careful explanations: 속일 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ—†μ—ˆμ–΄μš”. = I had no intention to deceive.

Korean Helper Widgets and listen to chunks like λ„μšΈ μ˜λ„, 속일 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ—†μ—ˆμ–΄μš”, λΉ„νŒν•  μ˜λ„λŠ” μ•„λ‹ˆμ—ˆμ–΄μš”, and μ„€λͺ…ν•˜λ €λŠ” μ˜λ„. Listen for the compact β€œplanned-action + intention” rhythm. 🎧
Β 

🌈 The Big Picture

μ˜λ„ means intention, intent, purpose, aim.
Β 
When Korean puts -(으)γ„Ή before μ˜λ„, it creates a noun phrase:
  • β€œthe intention to do A”
  • β€œthe intent of doing A”
  • β€œthe purpose behind doing A”
Β 
Examples:
  • λ„μšΈ μ˜λ„λ‘œ λ§ν–ˆμ–΄μš”.
      • [do-ul ui-do-ro mal-hae-sseo-yo]
      I said it with the intention of helping. 🀝
  • λΉ„νŒν•  μ˜λ„λŠ” μ•„λ‹ˆμ—ˆμ–΄μš”.
      • [bi-pan-hal ui-do-neun a-ni-eo-sseo-yo]
      It was not my intention to criticize. πŸ•ŠοΈ
  • 속일 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ—†μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
      • [so-gil ui-do-neun eop-sseum-ni-da]
      There was no intention to deceive. βœ…
Β 
This grammar is more noun-like and formal than simple -(으)λ €κ³  ν•˜λ‹€. It is useful when you are explaining, defending, analyzing, or clarifying why someone did something.
Β 

🎨 The Core β€œIntention” Family

1. V-(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„ = the intention to do

Use this as a noun phrase.
  • 돕닀 β†’ λ„μšΈ μ˜λ„ = the intention to help
  • 속이닀 β†’ 속일 μ˜λ„ = the intention to deceive
  • λΉ„νŒν•˜λ‹€ β†’ λΉ„νŒν•  μ˜λ„ = the intention to criticize
  • μ„€λͺ…ν•˜λ‹€ β†’ μ„€λͺ…ν•  μ˜λ„ = the intention to explain
Β 

2. V-(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„κ°€ μžˆλ‹€/μ—†λ‹€ = have / not have the intention to do

This is one of the most useful frames.
  • μ €λŠ” νšŒμ‚¬λ₯Ό κ·Έλ§Œλ‘˜ μ˜λ„κ°€ μ—†μ–΄μš”.
      • I have no intention of quitting the company.
  • κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒμ€ 문제λ₯Ό 숨길 μ˜λ„κ°€ μžˆμ—ˆμ–΄μš”.
      • That person had the intention of hiding the problem.
Β 

3. V-(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„λŠ” μ•„λ‹ˆλ‹€ = it is not the intention to do

Use this when clarifying a misunderstanding.
  • λ¬΄μ‹œν•  μ˜λ„λŠ” μ•„λ‹ˆμ—ˆμ–΄μš”.
      • I did not mean to ignore you.
  • μƒμ²˜ 쀄 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ•„λ‹ˆμ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
      • It was not my intention to hurt anyone.
Β 

4. V-(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„λ‘œ = with the intention of doing

This is the adverbial β€œwith the intention/purpose of...” form.
  • λ„μšΈ μ˜λ„λ‘œ μ‘°μ–Έν–ˆμ–΄μš”.
      • I gave advice with the intention of helping.
  • 확인할 μ˜λ„λ‘œ λ‹€μ‹œ λ¬Όμ–΄λ΄€μ–΄μš”.
      • I asked again with the intention of checking.
Β 

5. Related form: V-(으)λ €λŠ” μ˜λ„

This also means β€œthe intention to do,” and often feels a bit more action-plan-like.
  • λ„μš°λ €λŠ” μ˜λ„ = the intention to help
  • μˆ¨κΈ°λ €λŠ” μ˜λ„ = the intention to hide
Β 
For this lesson, focus on the compact target form -(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„.
Β 

πŸ› οΈ How It Works in Sentences

1. Clarifying intent

  • λ¬΄μ‹œν•  μ˜λ„λŠ” μ—†μ—ˆμ–΄μš”.
      • [mu-shi-hal ui-do-neun eop-seo-sseo-yo]
      I had no intention of ignoring you.
      λ¬΄μ‹œν•˜λ‹€ = to ignore.
Β 

2. Explaining the reason behind an action

  • 상황을 μ •ν™•νžˆ μ„€λͺ…ν•  μ˜λ„λ‘œ 예λ₯Ό λ“€μ—ˆμ–΄μš”.
      • [sang-hwang-eul jeong-hwa-ki seol-myeong-hal ui-do-ro ye-reul deu-reo-sseo-yo]
      I gave an example with the intention of explaining the situation accurately.
      상황 = situation, 예λ₯Ό λ“€λ‹€ = to give an example.
Β 

3. Saying intent did not exist

  • λˆ„κ΅¬λ₯Ό 속일 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ „ν˜€ μ—†μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
      • [nu-gu-reul so-gil ui-do-neun jeon-hyeo eop-seum-ni-da]
      There was absolutely no intention to deceive anyone.
      μ „ν˜€ = at all, 속이닀 = to deceive.
Β 

4. Formal analysis

  • 이 κ΄‘κ³ λŠ” μ†ŒλΉ„μžμ˜ 관심을 끌 μ˜λ„λ‘œ μ œμž‘λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
      • [i gwang-go-neun so-bi-ja-ui gwan-shim-eul kkeul ui-do-ro je-jak-doe-eot-seum-ni-da]
      This ad was produced with the intention of attracting consumers’ attention.
      관심을 λŒλ‹€ = to attract attention, μ œμž‘λ˜λ‹€ = to be produced.
Β 

🧩 General Formation Rule

Use the future/adnominal modifier -(으)γ„Ή before the noun μ˜λ„.
Β 

Vowel stem + γ„Ή μ˜λ„

  • κ°€λ‹€ β†’ 갈 μ˜λ„
  • 보닀 β†’ λ³Ό μ˜λ„
  • λΉ„νŒν•˜λ‹€ β†’ λΉ„νŒν•  μ˜λ„
  • μ„€λͺ…ν•˜λ‹€ β†’ μ„€λͺ…ν•  μ˜λ„
Β 

Consonant stem + 을 μ˜λ„

  • λ¨Ήλ‹€ β†’ 먹을 μ˜λ„
  • 읽닀 β†’ 읽을 μ˜λ„
  • 속이닀 is vowel-ending after removing λ‹€: 속일 μ˜λ„
  • 돕닀 is irregular: λ„μšΈ μ˜λ„
Β 

γ„Ή stem + μ˜λ„

For γ„Ή-ending stems, keep the γ„Ή and add μ˜λ„ directly.
  • λ§Œλ“€λ‹€ β†’ λ§Œλ“€ μ˜λ„
  • νŒ”λ‹€ β†’ νŒ” μ˜λ„
  • μ‚΄λ‹€ β†’ μ‚΄ μ˜λ„
Β 

Noun-based alternatives

If you want β€œthe intent/purpose of N,” use N의 μ˜λ„ or another noun phrase.
  • λ°œμ–Έμ˜ μ˜λ„ = the intention behind the remark
  • κ΄‘κ³ μ˜ μ˜λ„ = the intention behind the advertisement
  • 질문의 μ˜λ„ = the intention behind the question
Β 

🚨 Exception and Shape Notes

  • 돕닀 β†’ λ„μšΈ μ˜λ„, not 돕을 μ˜λ„. γ…‚-irregular.
  • λ“£λ‹€ β†’ 듀을 μ˜λ„, not 듣을 μ˜λ„. γ„·-irregular.
  • κ±·λ‹€ β†’ 걸을 μ˜λ„, not 걷을 μ˜λ„. γ„·-irregular.
  • λ§Œλ“€λ‹€ β†’ λ§Œλ“€ μ˜λ„, not λ§Œλ“€μ„ μ˜λ„. γ„Ή stem keeps γ„Ή.
  • ν•˜λ‹€ β†’ ν•  μ˜λ„, not ν•˜μ„ μ˜λ„.

Β 

πŸͺž Synonym Alert

  • -(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„ = the intention to do; noun phrase, often formal/analytical.
    • 속일 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ—†μ—ˆμ–΄μš”. = There was no intention to deceive.
  • -(으)λ €κ³  ν•˜λ‹€ = to plan/intend to do; everyday plan.
    • μ„€λͺ…ν•˜λ €κ³  ν–ˆμ–΄μš”. = I was planning to explain.
  • -(으)γ„ΉκΉŒ ν•˜λ‹€ = to be thinking of doing; tentative plan.
    • λ¬Όμ–΄λ³ΌκΉŒ ν•΄μš”. = I’m thinking of asking.
  • -κΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œ = in order to; purpose, not necessarily inner intention.
    • ν™•μΈν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œ μ „ν™”ν–ˆμ–΄μš”. = I called in order to check.
  • λͺ©μ  = purpose/goal; often more objective.
  • μ˜λ„ = intention/intent; often focuses on the mind or motive behind an action.
Β 

⚠️ Pitfalls to Dodge

  • ❌ λ¨Ήγ„Ή μ˜λ„ β†’ βœ… 먹을 μ˜λ„.
  • ❌ λ§Œλ“€μ„ μ˜λ„ β†’ βœ… λ§Œλ“€ μ˜λ„.
  • ❌ 학생 μ˜λ„ for β€œintention to be a student” β†’ βœ… 학생이 될 μ˜λ„ / 학생이 λ˜λ €λŠ” μ˜λ„.
  • ❌ Using μ˜λ„ for every simple plan β†’ βœ… Use -(으)λ €κ³  ν•˜λ‹€ for normal β€œI’m planning to...”
  • ⚠️ μ˜λ„ can sound serious, analytical, defensive, or legal-like when used in clarification: 그럴 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ—†μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Β 
🎯 Bottom line: -(으)γ„Ή μ˜λ„ lets you talk about the intent behind an action. It is perfect for clarifying motives: λ„μšΈ μ˜λ„μ˜€μ–΄μš”, λΉ„νŒν•  μ˜λ„λŠ” μ•„λ‹ˆμ—ˆμ–΄μš”, 속일 μ˜λ„λŠ” μ—†μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
