Put on in Korean 🇰🇷

끼다 info.

Tips to remember:
• Think of “끼다” as “fixing” or “attaching” an accessory onto your body. Picture yourself "sticking on" a hat or glasses. The sound “kkida” can remind you of "key"—as in the key piece of your outfit.

Explanations:
• “끼다” means “to put on” or “to wear” (usually accessories like hats, glasses, or jewelry). It’s different from “입다,” which is used for clothing.

Other words with the same meaning:
