Bought in Korean 🇰🇷

샀어 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of “사다” (pronounced sada) as the act of “buying.” Its past casual form “샀어” (sasseo) sounds like “saw” in English, which might help you recall that it refers to something already purchased.
• Notice that the stem “사-” remains, and the change in vowel forms the past tense (샀어), so practice by replacing the ending for different tenses.

Explanation:
• “샀어” is the informal past tense of “사다” (to buy). It implies that the buying action has already taken place.
• It is used in casual conversations among friends or peers.

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
• 구매했어 (gumaehaesseo) – another way to say “bought,” though it is a bit more formal or used in written contexts.
• 산 (san) – the past participle form used as an adjective (e.g., 산 물건 means “the purchased item”).
