The rest in Korean 🇰🇷

나머지 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of "나머지" (na-meo-ji) as "the rest" or what remains; you can imagine finishing a meal and then asking, “What about the rest?” to recall its meaning.
• Break the word into syllables: “나” + “머지”. Although they don’t have independent meanings here, repeating the sound while picturing the leftovers in a set might help it stick in your memory.

Explanation:
• "나머지" means “the remainder” or “the rest.” It is used to refer to something left over from a total set or amount.
• In everyday conversation, you might use it when discussing parts or quantities that haven’t been addressed or finished.

Other Words with the Same Meaning:
• "남은 것" – literally “what is left.”
• "잔여" – another term for remainder, often used in more formal contexts.
• "나머분" (colloquial use in some dialects) – though less common, can sometimes be used to refer to the remainder in a casual conversation.

Alternate Meanings/Slang:
• There are no widely recognized slang meanings for "나머지." It is primarily used in its literal sense of referring to the remaining part.
• In casual speech, it might be used flexibly to mean “others” or “everything else,” but its core meaning remains “the rest.”
