마음

maeum · TOPIK 1

heart, mind

❤️ ma-eum: MY HUM — the quiet hum inside you is your heart and mind

Say it slowly: ma-eum, close to my hum. 마음 is the inner hum of feelings and thoughts — the emotional heart and mind, not the organ (that is 심장). Older form was 마ᅀᆞᆷ, a native Korean word, not borrowed from Chinese.
