Tips to Remember:
• Think of 최저 as a combination of 최 (meaning "most" or "extreme") and 저 (meaning "low"). The idea is that it represents the "most low" or the lowest point.
• Remember its opposite, 최고 ("choego"), meaning "the best" or "highest," to create a mental contrast.

Explanations:
• 최저 means "lowest" or "minimum." It’s used to indicate the lowest level, value, or quality in a range of things.
• In contexts like "최저 임금" (minimum wage) or "최저가" (lowest price), it highlights that something is at the minimum level.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• 가장 낮은 (gajang najeun) – literally means "the lowest."
• 최소 (choeso) – translates to "minimum" (often used with numbers or quantities).
