Tips to Remember:
β€’ Break the word into two syllables: 직 (ji) and μ—… (eop). Think of "ji" as a marker for something β€œdirect” (as in direct work or direct involvement) and "eop" as a connection to business or activity. Making such associations may help reinforce your memory.

Explanations:
β€’ 직업 (jigeop) means "job" or "occupation." It refers to one’s regular means of earning a living or one’s profession in a formal context.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
β€’ 일 (il) – More broadly means "work" or "job."
β€’ 직μž₯ (jikjang) – Refers to the workplace or company, often implying one’s job.
β€’ 근무 (geunmu) – Means "duty" or "service," often used in formal or work-related contexts.

Alternate Meanings (Like Slang):
β€’ 직업 is used strictly to refer to one’s occupation, without any widely recognized slang or alternate meanings. In playful contexts, however, people might jokingly refer to an activity as their β€œμ§μ—…β€ (e.g., calling a hobby a "job"), but nothing is set as an official slang usage.

Examples of Sentences:
1. What is your job? – λ‹Ήμ‹ μ˜ 직업은 λ¬΄μ—‡μž…λ‹ˆκΉŒ? (Dangsineui jigeop-eun mueosipnikka?)
