Cool in Korean 🇰🇷

서늘하다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Break down 서늘하다 into “서늘” (which sounds like “shiver” or “cool sensation”) + 하다 (to do). Imagine “doing cool” as feeling a chill.
• Associate it with situations that give you goosebumps, like a creepy movie scene.

Explanations:
• 서늘하다 is a descriptive verb (adjective) that means “to be cool” or “to give one a chill,” often used when something feels eerie or when a sudden cold sensation is experienced.
