빠르다
ppareuda · TOPIK 1
to be fast, quick
🐆 ppareu sounds like barrel: a barrel rolling downhill is fast
The stem 빠르 (ppareu) is close to the English word barrel, said with a tense, clipped p. A barrel let go on a slope picks up speed at once. The doubled ㅃ is itself quick: a tight, sharp burst with no puff of air.
