부르다

bureuda · TOPIK 1

to call

🎤 bureuda sounds like BURR-uh-da: you call out brrr, then sing to warm up

One verb covers both uses of the voice: calling a name (이름을 부르다) and singing a song (노래를 부르다). Link the opening bu-reu to a shivering brrr that turns into a shout, then a tune. Both meanings are just sending your voice out.
