Etymology

[edit]

The dialectal form is the regular Gyeongsang dialect reflex of the passive verb 안기다 (an'gida, “to be hugged”). It was then reborrowed by the Standard Seoul dialect with a figurative meaning.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈɛ(ː)ŋɡida̠] ~ [ˈe̞(ː)ŋɡida̠]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)/(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
