Example Sentences#

1. 아마 실제로 십자가형을 당해야 하는 상황이 온다면, 저는 그것을 이겨낼 수 있을 것입니다.¹
   Perhaps if a situation were to come where I had to actually be crucified, I would be able to overcome it.
   • 이겨내다 means ‘to overcome’ or ‘to get through’, formed from 이기다 (to win or overcome) and the pattern -어 내다, where 내다 (to cause or bring about) functions as an auxiliary verb indicating that the preceding action is ultimately accomplished through one’s effort, often with difficulty or persistence.
   • -ㄹ is a modifier that turns the preceding statement into a phrase describing the following noun, conveying assumption, intention, or possibility and including future, potential, or unrealized actions and states.
