Writing in Korean 🇰🇷

글 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of 글 (geul) as a container for words—just as a "mug" holds coffee, 글 holds writing. The sound “geul” may remind you of the word “goal,” which is what you aim for when crafting good writing.
• Associate 글 with familiar words like 글쓰기 (geul-sseugi), meaning “writing,” to reinforce its meaning.

Explanations:
• 글 (geul) means “writing” or “text” in Korean. It refers to any written content, whether it’s a short note, an essay, or literary work.
• It can imply both the physical act of writing and the finished product itself.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• 문 (mun) – can mean “sentence” or “text”; often used interchangeably in contexts involving writing.
• 작문 (jagmun) – specifically means “composition” or “essay,” underscoring the creative aspect of writing.
• 문장 (munjang) – meaning “sentence” or “phrase,” emphasizing smaller units within 글.

Alternate Meanings/Slang:
• In online communities, “글” might be used informally to refer to a written post or article (e.g., 게시글, gaesigeul, which means “posted text”). In these contexts, people might say “그 글 좀 봐” (“Look at that post/writing!”).
