싫다

silta · TOPIK 1

to be disliked, unpleasant

🥦 sounds like shill-ta: nobody likes a shill, so 싫다 = disliked

싫다 is said shil-ta (ㅅ before ㅣ sounds like sh, and ㅎ makes the ending an aspirated ta). A shill is pushy and unwelcome, so shill-ta = it is disliked. Compare 싫어 (shi-reo), the everyday way to say I don't like it.
