James Cass
Clause after 아/어 야 I came across this sentence in a listening exercise: 근데 이 옷은 좀 용기가 있어야 입을 수 있을 것 같아요 This translation given was: Still, it would take some courage for me to actually wear this. I can kind of see how it means that, but I haven't seen anything apart from 하다, 되다 or 겠다 following 아/어 야 before. I wonder if you could give me any more examples of how 야 works with a whole clause after it.
