Hello JK Korean learners! 👋
Have you ever heard a Korean word, “눈치” and wondered what it really means? 👀
You might find translations like awareness, tact, or social sense in a dictionary.
But... none of them quite capture it.
In our first episode of “이 한국어 통역 되나요?”, we're taking a closer look at 눈치(nunchi).
It’s one of those Korean words that makes perfect sense in context, but is surprisingly difficult to translate directly.
We'll explore: 💬 What “눈치” really means 👀 How Koreans use it in everyday situations 🇰🇷 How cultural context changes its meaning 🍂 And what “눈치” has to do with Cheoseo, a traditional Korean seasonal marker
Because sometimes, Korean isn't just about what someone says.
