Article in Korean 🇰🇷

조 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Associate “조” (pronounced “jo”) with “Joe” writing a formal article—just as Joe might sign off a legal article, “조” marks an article or clause in documents.
• Visualize a document divided into numbered sections (e.g., Article 1, Article 2) to recall that “조” designates these parts.

Explanations:
• In formal contexts such as laws or contracts, “조” is used to denote an article or clause (e.g., “제1조” means “Article 1”).
• Beyond legal documents, “조” can also refer to a clan or lineage when used in family or historical contexts.
• Note that while the written form is identical, the intended meaning depends on context.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• “조항” (jo-hang) – This means clause or article, often used interchangeably when referring to parts of legal documents.
• “항” (hang) – Sometimes used to mean a clause or section in legal texts.

Alternate Meanings (including Slang):
• Clan or Lineage: “조” can denote a family clan or ancestral group.
• In casual language, while “조” isn’t a standalone slang term, it might appear in compound words; context will determine whether it refers to an article or another meaning.
