Cross in Korean 🇰🇷

건너가다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of 건너가다 as a combination of 건너 (meaning "across") and 가다 ("to go"). Visualize someone walking across a street or river.
• Remember that “가다” is a common verb for “to go,” so when you see 건너가다, it literally means “to go across.”

Explanations:
• 건너가다 means "to cross" in the sense of going from one side to the other (e.g., a street, river, or any barrier).
• It implies movement, often used to indicate physically moving from one side to another.

Synonyms (Other Words with Similar Meanings):
• 건너다 – can also mean “to cross” or “to span.”
• 지나가다 – when used in context, can imply passing across or going by (though it more generally means “to pass”).
• 횡단하다 – a more formal word for “to cross,” often used in contexts like crossing streets.
