찍다

jjikda · TOPIK 1

to take (a photo), to stamp

📸 jjik = the click of a shutter or the thud of a stamp: one sharp press

찍다 covers any quick, pointed press onto a surface: a camera shutter, a rubber stamp, a dot of ink, dipping food in sauce. The tense jj- sound is as abrupt as the action. 사진을 찍다 = to take a photo; 도장을 찍다 = to stamp a seal.
