Tips to Remember:
• Think of "문득" as suddenly popping a thought into your mind—like an unexpected lightbulb moment. The sound “문득” can evoke the feeling of a sudden, clear realization.
• Associate it with the English concept of "in a flash" or "all at once" to reinforce its spontaneous nature.

Explanation:
• "문득" is an adverb used when something happens unexpectedly or when a thought or memory suddenly comes to mind. It often conveys an introspective or gentle suddenness rather than a dramatic interruption.
