보진
"보진" can mean "examined" or "seen," depending on the context. It may also be used in specialized or informal contexts, requiring additional clarification.
In this sentence, '보진' is a contracted form of '보지는' from the verb '보다' (to look) combined with the topic marker '-는', here negated. It means the act of looking was not done.
나는 어제 새로운 책을 보진 않았어.
I did not look at the new book yesterday.
Here, '보진' again stems from '보다', referring to watching a movie, with negation indicated. It emphasizes the action that has not been undertaken.
그녀가 본 영화는 정말 재미있었어, 하지만 나는 보진 못했어.
The movie she watched was really interesting, but I couldn't watch it.
The use of '보진' characterizes not engaging in the act of seeing, indicating that one is refraining from viewing or observing.
