Which sentence correctly uses '계모'?
The first sentence correctly uses '계모' to refer to one's stepmother. The third sentence uses '계모' where '어머니' (mother) would be more appropriate given the translation.
What is the English meaning of '계모'?
The Korean word '계모' (gyemo) translates to 'stepmother' in English.
'계모' refers to a woman who is married to one's father, but is not one's biological mother.
This is the correct definition of '계모' (stepmother).
