잊다
itda · TOPIK 1
to forget
it-da: it's gone — the thought just did an EXIT from your head
잊다 is pronounced it-da, and the first syllable sounds like English it, as in forget it. Say forget IT-da to tie the sound to the meaning. Do not confuse with 있다 (itda, to exist) or 잃다 (ilta, to lose a thing) — 잊다 is losing a memory.
