겨울
gyeoul · TOPIK 1
winter
❄️🧤 gyeo-ul sounds like cold yawl: a boat frozen in for winter
Say gyeo-ul quickly and it lands near yawl with a hard g in front. Older Korean had the form 겨슬, which some link to 겻다, to stay in: winter as the season for staying home. Pairs with 여름 (summer), 가을 (autumn), 봄 (spring).
