To not think in Korean 🇰🇷

안 생각하다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• "안" means "not" in Korean. Remember it as the simple negation placed before a verb.
• "생각하다" means "to think." Visualize "생각" (thought) with "하다" (to do) to remember it’s the action of thinking.
• Combining them, "안 생각하다" literally means "to not do thinking."

Explanation:
• "안 생각하다" is the informal infinitive form meaning “to not think.”
• The structure uses the negation "안" placed directly before the verb “생각하다.”
• An alternative phrasing with the same meaning is "생각하지 않다" (meaning “not think”).

Synonyms:
• 생각하지 않다 (saeng-gak-ha-ji an-ta) – both expressions mean “to not think.”
