Grammar Focus:
거나 is added to the stem of a verb or adjective to express a choice between that verb or adjective and the one following it. It means the same as ‘or’ in English. Usually, it is used only once to connect two verbs or adjectives, but it can also be used to connect three or more. In the case of adjectives and verbs, -거나 is added to the verb stem, but in the case of nouns, -이나 is added.
