Sentence info.

당신이 (dangshini) – "λ‹Ήμ‹ " is the pronoun for "you," and the subject particle "이" marks it as the subject of the sentence.

κ²½μŸν•  (gyeongjaenghal) – This comes from the verb "κ²½μŸν•˜λ‹€" meaning "to compete." Here, the verb is converted to its future/infinitive form by dropping ν•˜λ‹€ and adding ν• , which functions as a modifier for the following clause.

수 μ—†μ—ˆλ‹€λŠ” (su eopsseotdaneun) – "수 μ—†λ‹€" means "cannot" or "be unable to," and when attached to a verb stem, it expresses inability. The past tense marker "μ—ˆ" is added to indicate that this inability occurred in the past ("couldn't"). Then "λ‹€λŠ”" is used to turn the preceding clause into a noun clause; it roughly means "that (you) couldn’t compete."

것이 (geosi) – "것" means "thing" or "fact," and the subject particle "이" marks this noun clause as the subject of the sentence. In this context, it represents "the fact that you couldn’t compete."

정말 μ§œμ¦λ‚©λ‹ˆλ‹€ (jeongmal jjajeungnamnida) – "정말" means "really," and "μ§œμ¦λ‚©λ‹ˆλ‹€" means "is frustrating" (a formal, polite way to express frustration).

Tips to remember:
β€’ When turning a clause into a noun phrase in Korean, use the structure [clause] + β€œλ‹€λŠ”β€ or β€œλ‹€κ³ β€ before attaching it to a noun like β€œκ²ƒ.”
β€’ The marker β€œμ΄β€ after β€œλ‹Ήμ‹ β€ or β€œκ²ƒβ€ helps identify the subject clearly. Always check if the subject has a marker, especially when dealing with compound sentences.
β€’ Transforming verbs such as β€œκ²½μŸν•˜λ‹€β€ often involves dropping β€œν•˜λ‹€β€ and adding a suffix (e.g., ν• ) to form a modifier if it directly describes a noun or a clause.

Alternate ways to say "How frustrating that you couldn't compete":
β€’ λ„€κ°€ κ²½μŸν•˜μ§€ λͺ»ν–ˆλ‹€λŠ” 게 정말 μ§œμ¦λ‚˜μš”.
 (Romanized: ne-ga gyeongjaenghaji mothaetdaneun ge jeongmal jjajeungnayo)
β€’ λ„€κ°€ κ²½μŸν•  수 μ—†μ—ˆλ‹€λŠ” 사싀이 정말 μ§œμ¦λ‚˜.
 (Romanized: ne-ga gyeongjaenghal su eopsseotdaneun sashiri jeongmal jjajeungna)
