🔥 Boosting Korean Knowledge
'Morning' in Korean is 아침[a-chim],
so a breakfast menu recommendation would be 아메추[a-me-chu], right?
Exactly! You've got it.
A breakfast menu recommendation is said as 아침 메뉴 추천 or 아메추.
However, since many people skip breakfast because of their busy lives, the words 점메추 and 저메추 are much more commonly used.😂 So there are more people who don't know 아메추 than those who do!
