식 is a reoccurring piece in many Korean food words and that’s because it has Sino-Korean and hanja origins. 식 comes from 食 which means meal and food. It also comes in up in some words related to family or people because of Koreas strong cultural attachment of family and meals. So let’s get into some of the words that it comes up in!
This week will be a shorter post since I’ve been sick and feeling off since about Tuesday. But I have some good ideas for upcoming posts later, including Chuseok, Korean Onomatopoeia, and more so please look forward to that~
