구름 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Break the word into syllables: “구” and “름.” Think of “goo” as something light and fluffy and “room” as an open space—together, they create the image of a cloud filling the sky.
• Visualize the shape of a cloud when pronouncing “gureum” (goo-reum) to strengthen the connection between the sound and the meaning.

Explanation:
• “구름” (gureum) is the Korean word for “cloud,” referring to the fluffy mass of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.
• It is used both literally—to describe weather phenomena—and metaphorically, suggesting something light, transient, or dreamy.

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
• While “구름” is the primary word for “cloud,” you may also encounter expressions like “하늘 위의 수증기” (haneul wiui sujeunggi) meaning “water vapor in the sky,” though this is more of a descriptive phrase rather than a simple noun.

Alternate Meanings / Slang:
• Metaphorically, “구름” can be used in expressions describing a light or carefree state. For example, describing someone as having their “head in the clouds” may be paraphrased as “구름 같은 마음” to imply a dreamy or unattached state.
• In modern contexts, while not traditional slang, “클라우드” (keullaudeu) is borrowed from English to refer to cloud computing or online storage, but this is distinct from the native term “구름.”

Example Sentences:
• 오늘 하늘에 구름이 많이 떠 있어요.
 Romanized: Oneul haneul-e gureum-i mani tteo isseoyo.
 Translation: Today, many clouds are floating in the sky.
• 그녀는 구름처럼 가볍게 생각하며 살아요.
 Romanized: Geunyeoneun gureumcheoreom gabyeopge saenggakhamyeo sarayo.
 Translation: She lives thinking as lightly as a cloud.
• 비록 구름이 많지만, 비는 오지 않을 거예요.
