Tips to Remember:
• Notice that “늘어나다” contains “늘,” which sounds similar to “new” – think of something growing or increasing into something new.
• Imagine numbers “growing” bigger like “new” heights; this connection between newness and growth can help remember “늘어나다.”

Explanations:
• “늘어나다” is an intransitive verb meaning “to increase” or “to grow.”
• It often refers to quantities or numbers (like prices, sales, or people) increasing over time.
• Similar words include “증가하다” (jeunggahada) meaning “to increase” and “커지다” (keojida) meaning “to get bigger.”
