Fly in Korean 🇰🇷

날아다니다 info.

Tips to remember:
• Notice the components: “날다” means “to fly” and “다니다” means “to go about” or “to frequent.” Together, they evoke the image of something “flying around.”
• You might imagine a bee buzzing around flowers to reinforce the idea of “flying around.”

Explanations:
• “날아다니다” is used to describe flying with a sense of moving about or hovering around, often used for animals or objects that aren’t flying in a straight line but rather moving here and there.
• The construction combines the flying action with continuous or habitual movement.

Other words/expressions with a similar meaning:
• “날다” – simply means “to fly.”
• “비행하다” – means “to fly” (typically used for airplanes or more mechanical contexts).
