비싸다
bissada · TOPIK 1
expensive
💎 bissada sounds like pizza-da: a pizza priced like a diamond is expensive
Etymology: from older 빋 (bit, price/value) + 싸다 (to be worth), so it meant worth its price. Today 싸다 alone means cheap, and 비싸다 is its opposite: add 비 to cheap and the price jumps to expensive.
