what is the difference between 어딜 and 어디

Postby flipfloup » Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:53 pm

어딜 가든 어디 있든
In that phrase, i don't understand why they wrote the word whenever like this 어딜 and like this 어디.
I don't understand what is the difference between the two since i think they mean the same thing.

also in that latter word '어디' , -에 also disappeared for short usage of word. a fully written term is '어디에'

Korean uses a lot of phonological contractions. If you see that -L thingy on the end of a word, which otherwise doesn't contain it, you can be sure it's some common contraction of the object marker.
