Tips to Remember:
• Think of 동창 as a shortened form of 동창생, the Sino-Korean term 同窗生 (“one who studied together”); remembering the Hanja can help link “동” (same/together) and “창” (window) to the idea of sharing a classroom or dormitory setting.
• Associate it with school reunions—since many reunions (동창회, dongchanghoe) bring together people who were once 동창.

Explanation:
• 동창 means a schoolmate or classmate—someone who attended school with you.
• Romanized pronunciation: dongchang.

Other Words with the Same Meaning:
• 학우 (hakwoo) – refers to a fellow student or school companion.
• 급우 (geubu) – means a classmate, typically someone in the same class.

Alternate Meanings/Slang:
• While 동창 primarily means schoolmate, it is often used in informal contexts to refer broadly to old school friends or acquaintances. There is no widely recognized slang usage beyond this close association with one’s school years.
• 동창회 (dongchanghoe) is related, referring to a school reunion or meeting of 동창.

Example Sentences:
1. 나는 어제 동창회에서 옛 친구들을 만났어.
(I met my old schoolmates at the class reunion yesterday.)

2. 내 동창이 지금 해외에서 살고 있어.
