치다
chida · TOPIK 1
to hit, strike
🥁 chida sounds like cheetah: a cheetah strikes fast and hits hard
치다 (chida) covers both hitting and playing an instrument you strike or pluck: 피아노를 치다 (play piano), 기타를 치다 (play guitar), 공을 치다 (hit a ball). The link is the striking motion: you hit the keys, strings or drum.
