Did you know?
- When talking about making a meal, Koreans often use the verb 하다 (to do) instead of 만들다 (to make). For example, one might say they 'did' kimchi rather than 'made' it.
- In very formal or polite settings, the verb 만들다 can be replaced by the honorific form 만드시었다 when referring to something an elder or superior has made.
- While 만들었다 describes the act of making, if you want to describe something that was 'made' in a way that implies it was 'constructed' or 'built', you would switch to the verb 짓다.
