Part in Korean 🇰🇷

부위 info.

Tip to Remember:
• Split the word into two syllables: “부” and “위.” Think of “부” as indicating a section and “위” as an area, then combine them to recall that 부위 means a specific part or region of something.

Explanation:
• 부위 (bu-wi) refers to a distinct part, section, or area of a whole. It is commonly used when talking about physical parts such as regions of the body or components of objects.

Synonyms:
• 부분 (bubun) – meaning “part” or “portion.”

Alternate Meanings:
• In informal contexts, 부위 can sometimes be used to highlight someone’s best feature, though this usage is less common and more figurative.

Example Sentences:
• “My knee area started to swell.”
 Korean: “무릎 부위가 붓기 시작했어요.”
 Romanized: “Mureup bu-wi ga butgi sijak haesseoyo.”

• “The important part of this machine needs to be fixed.”
 Korean: “이 기계의 중요한 부위를 고쳐야 합니다.”
 Romanized: “I gigye-ui jung-yohan bu-wi reul gochyeoya hamnida.”
