"않는데" means "does not, but" or "is not, but" depending on context.
In a sentence
나는 그 일을 끝내지 않았는데 시간이 많이 흘렀다.
I did not finish the task, and a lot of time has passed.
The word '않는데' here is used as a connective ending indicating that the speaker did not perform the action (ending '않았' modifies the content) and '는데' adds the context implying a subsequent action or result.
나는 공부하지 않는데 친구들은 열심히 공부한다.
I do not study, whereas my friends study diligently.
In this sentence, '않는데' is used to indicate that the subject is not performing the action (studying) with '는데' highlighting a contrasting situation afterwards.
그가 대답하지 않는데 기다리는 것이 의미가 없어.
He does not respond, so waiting is meaningless.
Here, '않는데' denotes the negation of the action 'responding,' and '는데' introduces a consequential clause to the situation.
