아무리 바빠도 바늘허리 매어 쓰지는 못한다 = No matter how busy you are, you can't tie a thread to the middle of a needle. (You have to take necessary steps to get things done, no matter how busy you are.) * 아무리 바빠도 = 아무리 (no matter; however) + 바빠도 (even if you're busy) = no matter how busy you are. * 바늘허리(를/에) 매어 = 바늘 (needle) 허리(waist; middle) 매어서 (by tying) = by tying (a thread) to the middle of a needle. * 쓰지는 못한다 = 쓰다(use) + -지(는) 못한다 (it is not possible; one cannot) = it's not possible to use it. V + -지 + 않다 / 못하다 negates a verb. 않다 means the speaker chooses not to do something and 못 하다 not being able to do something. 안/못 + VERB is the sho rt form of -지 않다/못하다. Examples: 학교에 가지 않았다 (long form) = 학교에 안 갔다 (short form) = I didn't go to school. 학교에 가지 못했다 = 학교에 못 깄다 = I couldn't go to school. 나는 거짓말을 하지 않는다 = 나는 거짓말을 안 한다 = I do not lie. 나는 거짓말을 하지 못한다 = 나는 거짓말을 못 한다 = I cannot lie.
