معنی
To clean one's face with water and soap.
زمینه فرهنگی
Koreans often use '세수했어?' (Did you wash your face?) as a way to ask if someone is fully awake and ready for the day, similar to 'Did you have breakfast?'. The 'double cleanse' is a standard practice in Korea, meaning '얼굴을 씻다' often happens twice: once with oil and once with foam. In the past, people used 'bean powder' (조두) as a natural soap to wash their faces, showing a long-standing interest in facial hygiene. The 'Face Wash Challenge' or showing one's bare face after washing (쌩얼) is a popular trend among K-pop idols and influencers.
Use '좀'
Adding '좀' (a bit) before '씻다' makes you sound much more natural and less demanding. '얼굴 좀 씻고 올게' sounds better than '얼굴 씻고 올게'.
Don't 'Ssit' your hair
Remember, '씻다' is for skin/surfaces. Using it for hair is a classic beginner mistake that sounds very 'foreign'.

The 'ㅅ' is regular

The ' 어푸어푸' sound
When talking about washing your face, you can use the sound '어푸어푸' (eo-pu-eo-pu) to describe splashing water. It's very cute and common.
