[explanations]
* 종점 : [Pronunciation: 종쩜] 終點] the end of the line; the last stop; the terminal (station); the terminus
* -까지 : up to; to

* 가다 : go
* 가려면 = 갈려면 : 가(the stem of 가다; 가 + -ㄹ contracted into 갈) + -ㄹ(a suffix makes a verb future tense) + -려면(in order to do)

* 가려면 = 가는 데 : to the last stop; if you want to go

* 가는 : 가(the stem of 가다) + -는(a suffix makes a verb adnominal)

* adnominal [관형사(형)] : an adjective or a modifying phrase attached to or modifying a noun, a noun phrase, a noun clause or a noun sentence
* adverbial [부사(형)] : an adverb attached to or modifying a verb

* 데 : [=곳] place

* 멀다 : [눈(eye)] become[go] blind; become sightless; lose[be deprived of] one's (eye) sight
* 멀었다 : past tense of 멀다 by '-었-'

* 멀었어요? : 멀었(the stem of 멀었다) + -어?(a non-honourific interrogative verb ending suffix) + -요(an honourific verb ending suffix)
* 멀었습니까? : 멀었다(the stem of 멀었다) + -스(a suffix makes a verb more honourific) + -ㅂ니까(an honourific interrogative verb ending suffix by ‘-ㅂ’)
