Where is the verb "flowing" here?

[norahs60]

호르다 is the verb of flowing, and the form 호르면서 is creating the if->then aspect of the sentence. The 면 means 'if', and 서 cues that the next part is the result of the first.

[Shlomo_]

흐르면서 "while flowing"

[hassnaamoh4]

"흐르면서" from the verb "흘리다"="to flow"
It can be also used with the word blood "피" to be "피를 흘리다"="to bleed"

[UltimetaSy]

Omg, relative clauses are the hardest

[Alister214]

Shouldn't the English be "While the water is flowing the red flower blooms." as for the learners not to make a mistake? It's also a direct translation of 물이 흐르면서 빨간 꽃은 핌니다 or am I missing something?

[Sovushka20294]

In Korean such sentences are translated from the end. This was mentioned in Verbs topic

[finlanddiner]

This is good for xp right?

[BobaBunny5]

Could "빨간 꽃이는 물이 흘러면서 펴" be correct, or does the -면서 clause have to go before the main clause?

[finlanddiner]

Bro this is easy

The subject cannot be different when using 면서
