or — between actions or states

Joins verbs or adjectives as alternatives: 음악 듣거나 유튜브 보는 게 'listening to music or watching YouTube', 낯설거나 이방인 느낌이 덜 들다 'feel less unfamiliar or foreign'. This is the counterpart of (이)나, which does the same job for nouns. It is also used to gesture at a range rather than name every item — 두렵거나 이런 감정들 'fear or feelings along those lines'.
