Tips to Remember:
β€’ Break the word into two parts: β€œλ§ˆ (ma)” and β€œμ•½ (yak)”. Since β€œμ•½ (yak)” also means β€œmedicine,” you can think of it as a twist on medicineβ€”except this one is illegal.
β€’ Imagine a scenario where someone mistakenly grabs β€œmy yak” (sounding like β€œλ§ˆμ•½β€) instead of medicine to trigger the association.

Explanations:
β€’ λ§ˆμ•½ (ma-yak) directly translates to β€œdrug,” typically referring to illegal or controlled substances.
β€’ It is used both in official contexts (e.g., discussing drug abuse or trafficking) and informally in some expressions.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
β€’ μ•½λ¬Ό (yak-mul) – Refers broadly to drugs, including both legal medicines and illegal substances.
β€’ ν–₯μ •μ‹ μ„±μ˜μ•½ν’ˆ (hyangjeongsinseong-ui yakpum) – A more technical term for psychotropic drugs, though less common in everyday conversation.

Alternate Meanings and Slang:
β€’ Beyond its literal meaning, λ§ˆμ•½ is often used in slang to describe something extremely addictive or irresistible. For example, a catchy song or an exciting movie might be described as β€œλ§ˆμ•½.”
β€’ In this slang usage, the word emphasizes how something captivates or β€œhooks” you, much like the effect of an addictive drug.
