To enlarge in Korean 🇰🇷

확대되다 info.

Tips to remember:
• Break it down into two parts: “확대” means “enlargement” (think of “확” as a hint of “big,” and “대” as scale) and “되다” means “to become.” Together, they form the idea of “becoming large.”
• Imagine an image or map being enlarged to connect the visual with the word.

Explanations:
• 확대되다 is an intransitive verb that means “to be enlarged” or “to be magnified.”
• It conveys that something has increased in size or scale by itself.

Other words with a similar meaning:
