Korean grammar · Level 4 · 4급
-았/었더니
I did it, and then I found… (my own action and its result)
Taught in Level 4, Unit 6: Pop culture
-더니 cannot describe your own action. When you want 'I sang along, and my pronunciation improved' or 'I slept well, and my body is light', you need the counterpart. -았/었더니 is the version for what you yourself did.
Example
잠을 푹 잤더니 몸이 가벼워요.
I slept deeply, and my body feels light.
