Tips to Remember:
β€’ Think of 동물 (dongmul) by breaking it into two parts: 동 (dong) means "move" and λ¬Ό (mul) means "thing"β€”animals are moving things.
β€’ Imagine a living, moving creature whenever you hear "동물," which can help you recall that it means "animal."

Explanations:
β€’ 동물 (dongmul) is the Korean word for "animal" and refers to any living creature that isn’t human.
β€’ The term is derived from the Chinese characters ε‹• (dong, β€œmove”) and 物 (mul, β€œthing”), emphasizing the characteristic of movement that distinguishes animals.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
β€’ 짐승 (jimsung) – often used to refer to a beast or creature.
β€’ 생물 (saengmul) – means living being or organism (this term can apply to plants and animals, though).

Alternate Meanings (Slang):
β€’ In informal or figurative language, calling someone 동물 (dongmul) might imply that the person is behaving in an animalistic or unrefined manner. This usage is context-specific and can be humorous or critical, depending on the situation.
