-은 결과
-은 결과: As a Result — The Written Summary Phrase
As a result of [having done / being…] — a noun phrase built from adnominal + 결과.
How to form it
| When | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Verb past adnominal | -(으)ㄴ 결과 | 조사한 결과 / 검토한 결과 / 확인한 결과 |
| Vowel / ㄹ stems | -ㄴ 결과 | 알아본 결과 / 만든 결과 |
-(으)ㄴ 결과 is how Korean labels an outcome in a compact, written-leaning way: as a result of [having] ….
It is not a mysterious ending glued to a stem. It is 관형사형 + 명사: the verb becomes a modifier (-은/-ㄴ (completed modifier)), then 결과 names the outcome. 우리말샘 treats 결과 as the noun outcome; the grammar is the collocation pattern courses drill.

만들다 → 만든 결과

Ask: am I summarising an outcome after a process, especially in careful speech or writing? If yes, -(으)ㄴ 결과. If you are just explaining why in conversation, stay with -아서 / -어서 or -(으)니까.

Common questions
Is this a single ending?
No — it is a pattern: adnominal form + the noun 결과. Taught as a chunk because writing uses it constantly.
Can the result be bad?
Yes. 결과 is outcome, not ‘happy ending.’
vs -(으)니 discovery?
euni often narrates finding-out. -은 결과 packages the process as a labelled result, more report-like.
Do I need 으로 after 결과?
You will also see 결과로. This slot’s printed core is -(으)ㄴ 결과 as the opener of the summary.
