To whisk in Korean 🇰🇷

털다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Associate “털다” (teolda) with the rapid, shaking motion of whisking. Imagine a whisk trembling (털) as it mixes ingredients to help recall the sound and action.
• The similar-sounding “털털하다” means “unkempt” or “carefree,” so think of the loose, fluttering movement when whisking.

Explanation:
• “털다” (teolda) is the basic (infinitive) form of the verb meaning “to whisk” or “to beat” (as in beating eggs or cream). In some contexts, it can also mean “to shake off” or “to remove (hair, dust)” but here we focus on the whisking action.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• 휘젓다 (hwijeotda) – commonly used to mean “to whisk” or “to stir.”
• 섞다 (seokda) – means “to mix,” though not as specific to the whipping action.
