Era in Korean 🇰🇷

시대 info.

Tips to remember:
• Associate "시대" (sidae) with the idea of a "time period" or "era." Think of "시" as relating to "time" (like in "시간" meaning time) and "대" as a marker of a significant stretch or phase in history.
• Imagine historical snapshots (e.g., the Medieval era, Renaissance era) to reinforce the concept of a distinct period.

Explanations:
• "시대" (sidae) means an era, age, or period characterized by particular features or events.
• It is used to refer to specific segments of history or phases in societal development, such as the modern era or classical era.

Other words that mean the same thing:
• "시기" (sigi) – also means period or time.
• "연대" (yeondae) – can denote a chronological period, though it often emphasizes sequence or order in history.

Alternate meanings:
• There aren’t widely recognized slang uses for "시대." It is primarily used in formal or descriptive contexts to denote a historical period.

Examples of sentences that use it:
1. "그 시대에는 사람들이 매우 단순하게 살았다."
(Geu sidaeneun saramdeuri maeu dansunhage saratda.)

2. "현대 시대는 기술이 발전하고 있다."
(Hyeondae sidaeneun gisul-i baljeonhago itda.)

3. "우리 시대의 문화는 독특하다."
