Hi I was wondering if someone could explain to me what the difference between μƒκ°ν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄
μš” and μƒκ΅­ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” μ€‘μ΄μ˜ˆμš”. First one means I'm thinking but don't know what ~λŠ” 쀑이
μ˜ˆμš” is all about.

~λŠ” μ€‘μ΄μ˜ˆμš”: in the process of verb.

~ μ€‘μ΄μ˜ˆμš”: in the process of noun.

This sheds a bit of light for me, but could you post some example sentence? I'm entirely
sure...

The second one means "in the middle of thinking" and can be shortened to simply 생각 μ€‘μ΄μ—μš” and e perfectly grammatical. A native can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the former implies that you're actively thinking at the moment, whereas the second implies you're sleeping on it, giving it consideration, or otherwise giving something some time before you come to a conclusion or decision.

In addition to what qklilx said, 쀑 means middle or center.

See grammar point 5 here for some examples of similar use.

Alas.. a bit too late.. I think other learners have elaborated it in enough detail for you. If you are still unsure about it, post a reply and I'll compose a small grammar lecture for you.. :)
