Value in Korean 🇰🇷

값 info.

Tips to remember:
– Associate the sound “gap” with the idea of a “gap” in your wallet after shopping to recall that 값 means the price or value of something.
– Remember that 값 and 가격 (“gagyeok”) both refer to cost—값 is shorter and easier to recall if you think “gap” equals cost.

Explanations:
– 값 (romanized: gap) generally refers to the cost, price, or worth of an object or service.
– It can be used both in a literal context for money as well as in a figurative sense referring to personal or moral worth.

Other words with similar meanings:
– 가격 (gagyeok) – price, cost
– 값어치 (gabeochi) – value, worth

Alternate meanings/slang:
– In some expressions, 값 is used to imply that someone “paid the price” for their actions (e.g., “그 값” meaning the consequences someone faced).
– The phrase 제 값을 하다 means “to be worth one’s price” or “to give the proper value.”
