Noun
갈토 • (galto)
- (education, historical) a Saturday on which school classes are held
- Coordinate term: 놀토 (nolto, “a Saturday on which school classes are not held”)
Usage notes
- Unlike the term 놀토 (nolto), which was in widespread use across Korea, 갈토 (galto) was not as common, with other terms, such as 학토 (hakto) and 공토 (gongto), being used instead; some schools and neighborhoods lacked a term for it completely.
