In detail in Korean 🇰🇷

자세히 info.

Word: 자세히 (ja-se-hi)
• Tips to Remember:
 – Notice that 자세히 sounds like “detailed” when pronounced slowly. You can think of it as “say it carefully,” linking the idea of giving a detailed explanation.
 – Break it into “자세” (which can mean “details” or “posture”) and the adverbial ending “-히.” Remembering that adverbs in Korean often end in –히 can help you recall its form.

• Explanation:
 – 자세히 means “in detail” or “with detailed care.” It is an adverb used to modify verbs, indicating that something is done in a detailed or thorough manner.

• Other Words with Similar Meanings:
 – 상세하게 (sang-se-ha-ge) – meaning “in detail” or “thoroughly”
 – 구체적으로 (gu-che-jeok-euro) – meaning “specifically” or “in a concrete manner”
