-겄-

Korean
Etymology
See the main entry. The vowel change to ㅓ (eo) is irregular; Ko Gwang-mo believes it was potentially influenced by the etymologically unrelated Early Modern suffix 것 (-geot-).[1]

- Southern and western Gyeonggi Province, such as Gapyeong, Yongin, and Yeoju

- Most of South Gyeongsang Province
In central, northern, and eastern Gyeonggi, most of North Chungcheong, and North Gyeongsang, the standard form is used.
