Learn Korean: Verb + 만들지마

Let’s take a look at the sentence pattern Verb + 만들지마. The verb 만들다 means to make and in here, it is used with the verb ending 지마 which adds the nuance do not do something. We use this pattern with the 게 form of another verb to express do not make someone feel something. That emotion is usually negative such as anger, sadness, and embarrassment. If someone provokes me with his actions, I would say Don’t make me feel mad. The main verb is 화나다 (to be mad). We take the verb stem (화나) and attach 게. Then, we add 만들지마. The actual sentence is (날) 화나게 만들지마.

날 더 이상 불안하게 만들지마.

Don’t make me feel uneasy anymore.

날 창피하게 만들지마.

Don’t make me embarrassed.

날 외롭게 만들지마.
