Picture in Korean 🇰🇷

사진 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of “사진” (sajin) as “sa-Jin” – imagine a friend named Jin always snapping photos.
• Notice the similar “sa” sound that appears in “snapshot,” linking the idea of capturing moments.

Explanation:
• “사진” (sajin) means “picture” or “photograph.” It refers to any image captured with a camera.
• It is used in everyday language to talk about photos, prints, or images in general.

Other Words with the Same Meaning:
• “포토” (poto) – a borrowed term from English “photo,” sometimes used informally.
• “사진” is by far the most common term for a picture, while “촬영” (chwal-yeong) specifically means “filming” or “shooting” (used in the context of taking photos or footage).

Alternate Meanings and Slang:
• In casual online conversations, “사진” simply refers to any picture shared or posted.
• There aren’t widely recognized slang meanings for “사진,” but phrases like “사진 찍다” (sajin jjikda, “to take a picture”) are common in everyday slang.

Example Sentences:
• “이 사진 너무 예뻐요.” (I sajin neomu yeppeoyo.) – “This picture is so pretty.”
• “어제 공원에서 사진을 찍었어요.” (Eoje gongwoneseo sajin-eul jjigeosseoyo.) – “I took a picture at the park yesterday.”
