모든

modeun · TOPIK 1

all, every

모든 = 모두 (everyone, all) + ㄴ: the form of all that sits before a noun

모든 is tied to 모두 (all, everything) and the old verb 몯다 (to gather). Everything gathered together = all. It only goes before a noun: 모든 사람 = every person. Sound hook: modeun is like more done, until all are done.
