Poet in Korean 🇰🇷

시인 info.

Tips to Remember the Korean Word "시인":
• Notice that "시" (shi) sounds like "poem" (as in the English word "poetry") and "인" (in) means "person." So, "시인" literally combines to mean "poem person" or someone who writes poems.
• Imagine a poet signing their work with "시인" to solidify the connection between the word parts and its meaning.

Explanations:
• "시인" means "poet" in Korean. It designates a person who writes poetry, an artist of words and emotions.
• The term is used both in classic literature contexts and modern usage to refer to individuals known for their poetic works.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
• "시 작가" (si jakga) – literally "poem writer," sometimes used interchangeably with "시인," though "시인" is more common.
• "시문가" (si mun-ga) – another term for a poet, combining "시" (poem) with "문가" (literary person), though it is less frequently used.

Alternate Meanings and Slang:
• "시인" primarily means "poet" and does not have widely recognized slang or alternate meanings in everyday contexts.
• In rare cases, someone might jokingly refer to a friend who writes something cheesy or overly dramatic as a "시인," but this usage is informal and context dependent.
