들면

"들면" means "if/when (someone) lifts or raises" in English.


The word '들면' in this sentence is derived from '들다' meaning 'to pick up' or 'to lift,' combined with the conditional particle '면,' which expresses a conditional meaning 'if.'

Here, '들면' from '들다' adjusts meaning to indicate a temporal conditional, referring to 'if night comes' or 'falls.'

The term '들면' links the conditional act (opening a door) resulting in the sense of hearing, signifying 'entering a state of perceiving.'
