착하다: Vocabulary #227

Example Sentences#

  1. 태민: 그리고 남자 주인공도 참 따뜻하고 착하잖아.1
    Taemin: And the male lead is also really warm and kind, you know.
    • 착하다 means ‘to be good-hearted’, ‘to be kind’, or ‘to be nice’.
    • -잖아 is a sentence-ending particle used when the speaker assumes the listener already knows or should know and agree with what is being said. It stems from the negative form -지 않아, adding a rhetorical tone like ‘isn’t it?’ and may carry a reminder or corrective nuance, often translated as ‘as you know’.
