Tips to Remember:
• Think of 동작 (dongjak) as a combination of “동” (dong, relating to movement) and “작” (jak, suggesting work or action). Imagine someone dancing—each move or “동작” is an action that "works" together.
• Recall that both movement and proper operation use similar concepts of coordinated action.

Explanations:
• 동작 (dongjak) primarily means “movement” or “action.” It can describe the way a body moves or the operation of a machine.
• In technical contexts, it can refer to the proper functioning or operation of equipment.

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
• 움직임 (umjigim) – emphasizes general movement or motion.
• 작동 (jakdong) – more focused on the operation or functioning of a device (note the order of syllables differs, though meanings are related).

Alternate Meanings:
• In everyday language, 동작 can casually denote a particular gesture or physical action.
• It is also a part of a place name—Dongjak-gu is a district in Seoul—though that usage is specific to location names rather than the meaning “movement.”
