Did not go out in Korean 🇰🇷

안 나갔다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of "안" as the simple negation meaning “not” and "나갔다" as the past form of "나가다" (to go out). Remember it as “did not go out” by associating “나가다” with the action of leaving or going outside.
• The sound “나갔다” can be broken into “나가” (go out) + “았다” (past tense ending), making it easier to recall its structure.

Explanations:
• "나가다" is the base verb meaning “to go out.”
• "안" is a negation particle placed before the verb to indicate the negative.
• "나갔다" is the informal plain past tense of "나가다," so "안 나갔다" means “did not go out.”

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
• "나가지 않았다" – another way to express the negative past of "나가다" (more formal).
• "외출하지 않았다" – meaning “did not go out,” often used in more formal contexts.
