헤이즐색 눈
The English phrase "hazel eyes" is translated into Korean as 헤이즐색 눈.
Did you know?
- The Korean word 눈 for 'eye' is a homonym that also means 'snow'. Depending on the context and the tone, the same word can describe a person's gaze or a winter storm.
- Because hazel eyes are extremely rare in East Asia, the phrase 헤이즐색 눈 is almost exclusively used to describe foreigners or characters in translated Western literature.
- In Korean, the word 눈 is used in the idiom 눈이 높다, which literally means 'the eyes are high' but actually means someone has very high standards.
Examples in context
