Divide in Korean 🇰🇷

나뉘었다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of “나뉘었다” as indicating that something “has been divided” into parts. Picture an object or territory split into distinct sections.
• Notice the similarity in sound to the English word “divide” when you emphasize the “나” at the beginning, which can help trigger the association with separation.

Explanations:
• The base verb is 나뉘다 (nanuida), meaning “to be divided” or “to split.” The form 나뉘었다 (nanuyeotda) is the simple past tense, indicating that something was divided.
