뭐

mwo · TOPIK 1

what

mwo = short for mu-eot (무엇), the full word for what, squeezed into one beat

뭐 is the everyday contraction of 무엇. Say mu-eot fast and it collapses to mwo. Sound hook: mwo starts like the m in hmm? and ends in an open o, the noise you make when you did not catch something. Mwo? = What?
