보내다

bonaeda · TOPIK 1

to send

📦 bonae-da: a BONus parcel goes out — send it off, or send the day off

보내다 means to send something away from you. Korean uses the same verb for time: you send the hours off, so 시간을 보내다 is to spend time. The opening bo-nae sounds like bonus; a bonus is something sent out to you.
