    L2G08 A/V-기는 하지만, -기는 -지만 grammar = but (I think)...~express contrast but emphasize 2nd clause

    L2G08 A/V-기는 하지만, -기는 -지만 grammar = but (I think)...~express contrast but emphasize the 2nd clause

    Usage:
    • Express the contrast. The speaker acknowledges the 1st clause, but emphasizes a different view or belief in the 2nd clause.
    • The latter form -기는 -지만 uses the same Verb/Adjective twice.
    • In conversation, -기는 하지만 and -기는 -지만 were shortened to -긴 하지만 and -긴 -지만. (E.g. 춤을 추긴 추지만 잘 추지 못해요.)
    • The past tense form is -기는 했지만, not -았/었기는 했지만.
    Tense:

    Adjective/Verb:
    • 과거 : -기는 했지만 ; -기는 -았/었지만
    • 현재 : -기는 하지만 ; -기는 -지만
    • 미래 : -기는 하겠지만 ; -기는 -겠지만
