What does '네모난' mean and how is it used grammatically?

Show answer

'네모난' comes from the adjective '네모나다' (to be square-shaped), where the suffix '-ㄴ' is added to the stem to make the attributive form that modifies a noun, e.g., '네모난 창문' means 'square window.' It is used only with descriptive verbs (adjectives) in present attributive form, not with all verbs.
