Pronunciation

Verb

죽다 (cwùktá) (infinitive 주거〮, sequential 주그〮니〮)

  1. (intransitive) to die
    Antonym: 사〯다〮 (sǎdá, “to live”)
    • 14th century?, “滿殿春 (Manjeonchun)”, in 樂章歌詞 (Akjang gasa), published 16th century:
      어름 우희 댓 닙 자리 보와 님과 나와 어러 주글만뎌ᇰ 情(져ᇰ) 준 오ᄂᆞᆳ 밤 더듸 새오시라 더듸 새오시라
      elum wuh-uy tay-s nip cali pwowoa nim-kwa na-Gwa ele cwukul mantyeng CYENG cwun wonol-s pam tetuy sayGwosila tetuy sayGwosila
      Even if my love and I should freeze to death, having set up a bed of bamboo leaves upon the ice, may this night when we make love pass slowly by, pass slowly by.

Usage notes

  • Unlike Modern Korean, the Middle Korean verb did not have a suppletive honorific (the verb was even used for the death of the king, which would be scandalous in Modern Korean), though 업스〮시다〮 (èpsúsìtá, “to become absent”) was also used euphemistically.
