Be forgotten in Korean 🇰🇷

잊혀지다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Notice the root verb 잊다 (itda) meaning “to forget.” The form 잊혀지다 (ichhyeojida) is the passive “to be forgotten,” so think of it as “it’s in a state of being forgotten.”
• Break the word into parts: 잊 (from 잊다, “forget”) + 혀지다. The unusual middle syllable 혀 can serve as a unique marker to remind you that it’s a transformed (passive) version.
• Pronounce it slowly—“ich-hyeo-ji-da”—to remember it sounds different from the active 잊다.

Explanation:
• 잊혀지다 is the passive form of 잊다, meaning that something “is forgotten” or “gets forgotten” rather than someone actively forgetting.
• It is used to indicate that the subject experiences the state of having been forgotten, often by time or memory.
