Take care of in Korean 🇰🇷

귀하다 info.

Tips to remember the word:
• The syllable “귀” might remind you of “precious” things because in many contexts, Korean words beginning with 귀 (like 귀한) describe something of real value, much like something you “take care of.”
• Think of your precious “dear” memories—if something is so dear you take care of it, it is 귀하다.

Explanation:
• 귀하다 (romanized: gwi-hada) means “to be precious” or “to be valuable.” It is used to describe people, memories, or things that are held in high esteem.
• It is similar in meaning to “cherished” or “esteemed” in English.

Similar words:
• 소중하다 (sojung-hada) – also means “to be precious” or “cherished.”
• 존귀하다 (jonggwi-hada) – means “to be noble” or “exalted” and is used for things of very high value or respect.
