Can you believe it's Wednesday again? Hope you're having a KWOW-licious week so far :) If you haven't already, check out our latest episode:
GGUH JYUH (꺼져) is the Korean slang word for "Get away!" Other translations include: beat it, get lost, back off, and scram.
Gguh jyuh is a conjugation of the verb gguh jee dah (꺼지다). Gguh jee dah may be used in various situations. It can mean "to be turned off" (i.e. My phone was turned off), for a candle "to be blown out" and "to cave in" regarding sunken roads.
