Shut in Korean 🇰🇷

닫히다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Notice that 닫히다 sounds like “dat-hee-da” – you can link “dat” with “door” (문 mun) to remember that “the door is shut.”
• Recognize that 닫히다 is the passive form, meaning “to be closed” rather than “to close,” which is often used for things that close by themselves.

Explanation:
• 닫히다 means “to be shut/closed.” It indicates that an object (like a door or window) has become closed by some action.
• It is the passive form of the transitive verb 닫다 (“to close”), so use 닫히다 when describing the state of being closed.

Synonyms/Similar Words:
• 닫다 (datda) – the active form meaning “to close” something.
• For describing the state, you could also use expressions like “닫혀 있다” (to be in a closed state).
