Adjective/Verb + (으)ㅁ : This turns the adjective or verb into a noun.

When used to make individual nouns, not every adjective and verb can be used, especially ones that originated from hanja since those usually have a noun form on their own.

Conjugation Rule
	Pattern	Case	Example
Rule 1:	A/V + ㅁ	If there is no 받침 or if the adjective/verb stem has ㄹ as a 받침	아프다 → 아픔
Rule 2:	A/V + 음	If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem	죽다 → 죽음
