Table in Korean 🇰🇷

탁자 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Break the word into syllables: “탁” sounds like the beginning of “tackle,” and “자” sounds like “jar.” Imagine tackling a jar on a table—a quirky image to remind you that 탁자 means table.
• Associate the sound “tak” with setting something firmly like a table’s surface.

• It is used in everyday language for dining tables, study tables, and similar furniture.
