잃다
ilta · TOPIK 1
to lose
🔑 sounds like ill-ta: feel ill, ta-ta to your keys — you lose them
잃다 is pronounced ilta. Hook it to ill + ta-ta: you feel ill the moment something says ta-ta and is gone. Do not mix it up with 잊다 (itta, to forget): 잃다 has the extra ㅎ, and it is for losing things, not memories.
