—적 • (-jeok) (hanja 的)

1. -ive, -like, -ish, -ic, -ical, -y, kind of, sort of (see usage notes)

• An extremely productive suffix, it attaches to words or roots of Sino-Korean (e.g. 애국적(愛國的) (“patriotic”)) or Western origin (e.g. 쇼비니즘적(的) (syobinijeum-jeok, “chauvinistic”)) to form nouns (for whose usage see below).
• Except when directly attributing another word (where monolingual dictionaries usually classify this as a separate 관형사(冠形詞) (gwanhyeongsa, “determiner”)), a noun formed using the suffix does not serve any function on its own and must either be used adnominally / predicatively with 이다 (-ida, “to be”, copula) or adverbially with 으로 (-euro, “as; with”, instrumental case marker). See the following examples:

애국적 행동

aeguk-jeok haengdong

A patriotic act (attributive)

애국적인 행동

aeguk-jeog-i-n haengdong

An act that is patriotic (adnominal)

행동이 애국적이다

haengdong-i aeguk-jeok-ida

The act is patriotic (predicative)

애국적으로 행동하다

aeguk-jeok-euro haengdong-hada

to act patriotically (adverbial)
