Tips to Remember:
β€’ Notice that 잎 (romanized as ip) is very short and simpleβ€”just like a small leaf you might find on a tree.
β€’ Think of a tree with many "잎" on its branches. This can help you recall that 잎 means a leaf.
β€’ Remember that 잎 sounds like β€œip,” so associating it with the image of a tiny, delicate leaf might make it stick in your mind.

Explanations:
β€’ 잎 refers to the leaf of a plant or tree, the flat, green part that helps in photosynthesis.
β€’ It is a native Korean word, used in everyday contexts to talk about the parts of plants.
β€’ In more formal or poetic language, you might see compound words like λ‚˜λ­‡μžŽ used, but 잎 alone is common in daily use.

Other Words with the Same Meaning:
β€’ λ‚˜λ­‡μžŽ (namut-ip) – literally β€œtree leaf” or β€œfoliage.”
β€’ μ—½ (yeop) – a Sino-Korean term found in compound words such as μ—½λ‘μ†Œ (yeop-rok-so, β€œchlorophyll”), though less common on its own.

Alternate Meanings (Including Slang):
β€’ There are no widely recognized slang usages of 잎. Its meaning remains consistently tied to the botanical sense of β€œleaf.”
β€’ Occasionally, in poetic or metaphorical contexts, 잎 may be used to represent fragility or the passage of time, but this is an extension of its literal meaning rather than an unrelated slang usage.
