Word origin
The Sino-Korean noun 지속 (jisok, "continuation") combines with 되다 (ttoeda, "to become or be") to form a verb for something that continues over time.
Usage tips
- Unlike an English verb that often highlights an active choice, this form commonly presents an event or condition as continuing on its own.
