Tap in Korean 🇰🇷

늘어지다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of something that “slacks” or “sags” like an overused rubber band or drooping flower; the idea of losing firmness can help recall the sense of 늘어지다 (neureojida).
• Notice that the ending "-지다" in Korean often indicates a change of state (“to become”), so you’re looking for a word that means “to become limp or droopy.”

Explanation:
• 늘어지다 (neureojida) means “to droop,” “to become slack,” or “to sag.” It describes a state where something loses its firmness or vitality, such as limbs, plants, or even a person’s posture when extremely tired.

Synonyms:
• 축 늘어지다 (chuk neureojida) – emphasizes a slumped or sagging appearance.
• 처지다 (cheojida) – can also mean “to hang down” or “to sag.”
