Did not finish/end in Korean 🇰🇷

안 끝났어 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of "안" as the simple word for “not” that always goes in front of a verb.
• The root “끝나” comes from “끝나다” (to finish); remembering that “끝” sounds like “end” will help you recall its meaning.
• Associate the informal ending “-았어” with a past action, so “끝났어” means “finished” – then add “안” to negate it.

Explanation:
• “안 끝났어” translates literally to “not finished” or “has not ended.” It is commonly used to indicate that something is still ongoing.
• The sentence uses the informal low style. “안” is the negation placed before the verb “끝났어” (past form of “끝나다”).

• 다 안 끝났어 (da an kkeunnatseo) – “It’s not completely finished.”
