kkakkda (깎다)

Simplex verb

Verb meaning: SHAVE (a body part/person) [shave-a-body-part_person]

Comment: kkakkda covers a wider range of meaning related to CUT, which is also SHAVE or PEEL. Although both the morphological and periphrastic passive are applicable on this verb, one might tend to use the periphrastic form in spoken usage. The periphrastic passive has a somewhat modal meaning, and the morphological passive indicates that the agent is unkown.

Comment: Similarly to many other examples, suyeom and kkakk- seem to be one prosodic unit in this case, and it would be more natural to use an adverbial in such a construction and not in one where suyeom is marked with accusative case. Note that the -eo ending is typically spoken, and in written usage it would be -a.

Peel this apple.

Comment: A more colloquial example. Note that the prescriptively favoured form would be kkakka here and not kkakkeo. Since case marking is missing, only the word order clarifies that neo is the subject here and sagwa the object.
