β€œIn order to, because, for the sake of” in Korean

Korean has a few ways to jointly express an action and its motive.

Overview

μœ„ν•΄, μœ„ν•΄μ„œ

Used formally to express a noun as being the motive for an action.

λ•Œλ¬Έμ—

Like μœ„ν•΄μ„œ, but used in casual speech.

-(으)렀고

Expresses a verb as the motive for another verb. Commonly used with ν•˜λ‹€.

μœ„ν•΄, μœ„ν•΄μ„œ

The words μœ„ν•΄ and μœ„ν•΄μ„œBoth μœ„ν•΄ and μœ„ν•΄μ„œ derive from the verb μœ„ν•˜λ‹€ ("to do for the sake of, for the purpose of"). are used interchangeably in a common (but fairly formal) expression meaning "for the sake of."

unimplemented! (center-block){:type "center-block", :affiliated {}, :contents-begin 683, :contents-end 737, :position {:start {:line 20, :column 1, :offset 668}, :end {:line 23, :column 1, :offset 750}}, :children ([:p ("[n.]을 μœ„ν•΄ [v.] ＝ [n.]을 μœ„ν•΄μ„œ [v.] ＝ for the sake of [n.]\n")])}

This pattern is common in song lyrics, books, and news articles, but not in everyday conversation.
