Tips to Remember:
• Notice that 움직임 (umjigim) comes from the verb 움직이다 (umjigida, “to move”). Remembering the transformation of a verb to its noun form can help you recall its meaning as “movement.”

Explanations:
• 움직임 (umjigim) refers to the act or process of moving, whether it’s physical motion or a metaphorical shift. It captures the idea of change in position or state.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:

• 동작 (dongjak) – often refers to bodily movements or actions.
• 행동 (haengdong) – generally means behavior or action, sometimes used to describe movement in a broader sense.

Alternate Meanings Like Slang:
