Word origin

The verb 나누어지다 (nanueojida, "to become divided") combines the stem 나누 (nanu, "divide") with 어지다 (eojida, "become"), presenting division as a resulting change.

Usage tips

  • In TOPIK passages, this form shifts attention from the person causing a change to the resulting state, so it helps identify descriptions of roads, groups, or objects that now exist separately.
