Example Sentences#

1. 사랑이 환상일지라도¹
   Even if love is just an illusion
   • 환상 means ‘illusion’ or ‘fantasy’.
   • 이다 is the copula ‘to be’.
   • -(으)ㄹ지라도 is a connective ending that combines -ㄹ지 (a marker indicating hypothesis or uncertainty) and -라도 (a concessive ending that emphasizes the following clause remains true despite the assumed condition). This pattern acknowledges a hypothetical or uncertain situation in the first clause while stressing that it does not affect the outcome of the following clause. It is often translated as ‘even if’.
