Expectation in Korean 🇰🇷

예상 info.

Tips to remember:
• Think of "예상" as “yes” (예) and “song” (상) – imagine someone confidently saying “Yes, song!” when predicting a positive outcome.
• Associate it with the word “expectation,” which is all about anticipating something before it happens.

Explanation:
• "예상" (ye-sang) means expectation, prediction, or an estimate about what will happen in the future.
• It is commonly used to indicate a forecast or anticipatory judgment based on current information.

Other words that mean the same thing:
• 기대 (gi-dae) – often conveys the sense of anticipation or hope.
• 추정 (chu-jeong) – means an estimate or assumption, though it’s slightly more formal.

Alternate meanings:
• There isn’t a widely recognized slang meaning for "예상;" it is mostly used in its standard sense of predicting or expecting something.
