TTMIK nível 6 lição 19 (Brasil)
In Level 4 Lesson 28, we introduced the verb ending -아/어/여지다 and how it is used to express “to become + adjective”. Examples: 예쁘다 = to be pretty 예뻐지다 = to become pretty 조용하다 = to be silent 조용해지다 = to become silent But some adjective words (or descriptive verb) are so commonly used in this -아/어/여지다 form that they are almost considered as independent verbs and have a single-word translation in English as well.
