이미 → "Already"

넌 → "You" (informal)

• 넌 is a contraction of 너는, meaning "you" in an informal or familiar sense.

알고 있잖아 → "You already know." / "Come on, you know.

• 알고 – from 알다 (to know)

  • -고 있다 = the progressive form: "to be knowing"→ 알고 있다 = “to know (and still know now)”→ In Korean, this emphasizes continuing awareness.

• 있잖아 – this is made of:

  • 있다 = “to exist / to have / to be doing” (here, part of the ongoing action "knowing")

  • -잖아 = "you know" / "as you know" / "isn’t it." It’s used when the speaker is saying something the listener already knows. It’s often used when:

    • You’re reminding someone of something they’re aware of

    • You’re gently insisting or pushing a point

    • You’re emotionally expressing something already understood between people

[Jungkook] : 커피를 마시고 눈을 떠봐도 Even though I drink coffee and try keeping my eyes open

커피를 → "Coffee" (object form)

마시고 → "Drink and" or "After drinking"

• 마시다 means "to drink," and -고 is a connective particle used to link actions or clauses, so 마시고 means "after drinking" or "drink and then."

• 눈 means "eyes," and -을 is the object particle, indicating that the action (opening) is directed at the eyes.

떠봐도 → "Even if (I) open"

• 떠다 means "to open" (as in eyes), and -봐도 is the form of -보다 (to see), indicating an action with the implication of trying or experiencing. -도 is a particle that means "even if," so 떠봐도 means "even if I open" or "even if I try to open."

잠이 → "Sleep" (subject form)

• 잠 means "sleep," and -이 is the subject particle, marking 잠 as the subject of the sentence.

들 것만 같아 → "It feels like I might fall asleep…”

• 들다 means "to enter" or "to fall into" in this context, often used when referring to falling into sleep. (잠이 들다 = “to fall asleep”) 들다 has many meanings, but in this combo, it means “to enter into (a state)”, so 잠이 들다 = "sleep enters" = "fall asleep"

• -ㄹ 것 같다 = “it seems like / I feel like / it looks like…”

  • 들 것 같다 = "It seems like (I) will fall asleep"

• -것만 같다 = slightly more dramatic/emotional version of -것 같다

봐봐 → "Look" (imperative with a softer tone)

• 보다 means "to look" or "to see," and -봐 is the informal imperative form, meaning "look." Adding -봐봐 makes it a softer, more casual way of telling someone to look, almost like saying "take a look."
