Effective in Korean 🇰🇷

효과적인 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Recognize that 효과적인 is made up of 효과 (effect) and -적인 (an adjectival suffix), linking it directly to the idea of producing an effect. The “효과” part sounds similar to “effect” in English.
• Remember the romanized form “hyogwa-jeogin” to connect its pronunciation with the English word “effective.”

Explanations:
• 효과적인 is an adjective meaning “effective” or “producing the desired result.” It is used to describe something that works well in achieving a specific outcome.
• The suffix -적인 turns the noun 효과 (effect) into an adjective, similar to how “-ive” turns “effect” into “effective” in English.

• 유효한 (yuyohan) – often means “valid” or “effective” in certain contexts.
• 능률적인 (neungruljeogin) – implies being effective or efficient, particularly in terms of achieving results.
• 효과가 있는 (hyogwaganeun) – literally “having an effect” and used similarly to describe something effective.

Alternate Meanings (Slang and Informal Uses):
• There are no widely recognized slang or informal alternate meanings for 효과적인. It is primarily used in its literal sense to mean “effective.”
