결정되다 (gyeoljeongdoeda, "become decided") is formed from 결정 (gyeoljeong, "decision") and 되다 (doeda, "become"), so it presents a matter as entering a decided state.

Usage tips

  • Because the decision maker is often left unstated, this verb is useful when the result matters more than who made the choice.
