Usage notes

Prior to its addition in the Standard Dictionary of the Korean Language on May 24, 2024, 도와드리다 (dowadeurida) was officially considered two separate words, and as such both 도와 드리다 (dowa deurida) and 도와드리다 (dowadeurida) were considered standard spellings, with the former being the "rule" and the latter being "permitted". However, now only the un-spaced spelling is standard.
