@lizy1235 감사합니다 ! what about -게 ? it also sounds similar to me
- Korean
@gabelesma different. -게 is a 어미 that can use verbs and adjectives as adverbs.
ex) 내가 너에게 주는 편지야.
너를 예쁘게 만들어 줄게.

@lizy1235 yes i've seen that too but also 게 being used meaning "so" like this sentence
그의 몸에 꼭 맞게 맞춘 옷이 배달되어 왔다.
wiktionary says -게 here means "so as that". could i say this with 여?
그의 몸에 꼭 맞여 맞춘 옷이 배달되어 왔다.
그의 몸에 꼭 맞게 맞춘 옷이 배달되어 왔다.
wiktionary says -게 here means "so as that". could i say this with 여?
그의 몸에 꼭 맞여 맞춘 옷이 배달되어 왔다.
- Korean
no -여 and -게 is different. and in this sentence, -게 means that the preceding content will be the result of the incident pointed from behind.
If you want to use '여', '그의 몸에 꼭 맞게 하여 맞춘 옷이 배달되어 왔다.' is possible.
