Never in Korean 🇰🇷

절대로 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Break it down: “절대” means “absolute” and “로” is a directional marker—imagine “absolutely in that way” to remind you it signifies “never” under any circumstance.
• Create a mental image: Picture an unbreakable boundary with a sign that says “절대로” to emphasize “no way, never.”

Explanations:
• “절대로” is an adverb used to stress that something should never happen or be done, emphasizing a total and absolute refusal.
• It is used in emphatic contexts to leave no doubt that the action or situation is completely off the table.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
• “결코” (gyeolko) – another adverb used similarly to mean “never” or “by no means.”

Alternate Meanings (including slang):
• There aren’t common slang usages for “절대로”; it is primarily used in its formal, emphatic sense to mean “never.”
