Tips to Remember "결코" (gyeolko):
• Associate its strong, emphatic sound with the meaning "never." Think of it as a word that leaves no room for doubt—when you say "결코," you truly mean "absolutely not."
• Notice that "결" can remind you of “complete,” emphasizing the totality of the negative, as in “completely not happening.”

Explanation:
• "결코" is an adverb that intensifies a negative statement, similar to "never" or "by no means" in English.
• It is almost always used with a negative verb form, as in "결코 ~하지 않다," emphasizing that something will absolutely not occur.

Other Words with the Same Meaning:
• 절대 (jeoldae) – often translates to "absolutely" or "never" in contexts where you are stressing the impossibility.
• 전혀 (jeonhyeo) – means "not at all" or "never," used to indicate a complete absence or negation.
