    When to use it

    Vowel stems take -ㄹ뿐더러, consonant stems -을뿐더러, and a ㄹ stem adds nothing: 만들뿐더러. Past is -았/었을뿐더러.

    The spelling is the thing to get right. -(으)ㄹ뿐더러 is a single ending and is written joined. Compare -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라, where 뿐 is a noun and takes a space. Same meaning, opposite spacing.

    Both halves must point the same way, and the second clause usually carries : 값이 쌀뿐더러 품질도 좋다.

    It is more literary than 뿐만 아니라, and appears mainly in writing and prepared speech.

    Compared with

    • -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라

      The same meaning in a more common form. The visible difference is the space: 뿐만 아니라 contains the noun 뿐, while -뿐더러 is a single ending.

      쌀 뿐만 아니라 (with a space)  /  쌀뿐더러 (joined)

    • -(으)ㄴ/는 데다가

      Same job, three registers. -는 데다가 for speech, 뿐만 아니라 for formal use, -뿐더러 for writing.

      싼 데다가 (speech)  /  쌀 뿐만 아니라 (formal)  /  쌀뿐더러 (written)

    • -지만

      As with the other additive endings, both halves must agree. A contradicting second clause needs a contrast ending.

      쌀뿐더러 품질도 좋다. (both good)  /  싸지만 품질이 나쁘다. (cheap but poor)

    Watch out

    • 값이 쌀 뿐더러 품질도 좋다.

      값이 쌀뿐더러 품질도 좋다.

      -뿐더러 is a single ending and is written joined. The space belongs only to 뿐만 아니라, where 뿐 is a noun.

    • 직접 만들을뿐더러 재료도 기른다.

      직접 만들뿐더러 재료도 기른다.

      A stem ending in ㄹ already supplies it, as with 만들 거예요 and 만들 만하다.

    • 값이 쌀뿐더러 품질이 나쁘다.

      값은 싸지만 품질이 나쁘다.

      Both halves have to point the same way. A contradicting second clause needs -지만.
