짙다
The fog is very thick today, making it hard to see.
Explanation at your level:
짙다 means something is thick. Use it when you see lots of fog outside. 'The fog is 짙다.' It is a simple word for describing things that are very strong or dense.
You use 짙다 to describe colors or weather. For example, a 짙은 color is a dark, deep color. If the fog is 짙다, you cannot see very far. It helps you describe the world around you more clearly.
At this level, you can use 짙다 for abstract things. You can describe a '짙은 향기' (a strong scent) or even a '짙은 우정' (a deep friendship). It adds nuance to your sentences by showing the intensity of the subject.
짙다 is versatile. In professional contexts, you might describe a '짙은 가능성' (a high possibility). It bridges the gap between literal physical thickness and figurative intensity, making your Korean sound much more natural and native-like.
Use 짙다 to convey atmosphere. Writers often use it to set a mood, such as describing '짙은 고독' (deep loneliness). It elevates your descriptive writing by choosing a word that carries weight and texture rather than just saying 'very' or 'strong.'
Mastery of 짙다 involves understanding its subtle emotional resonance. It is often used in literature to imply a sense of inevitability or overwhelming presence. Whether it is the '짙은 그림자' (deep shadow) of the past or the '짙은 여운' (lingering impression) of a performance, it is a powerful tool for sophisticated expression.

Hey there! Let's talk about 짙다. It is a wonderful Korean adjective that paints a picture of intensity. Think about a morning where you can't see the road because of the fog—that is a perfect time to use this word.
It's not just for weather, though! You can use it for colors that are deep and rich, or even a scent that is very strong. It basically describes anything that is 'thick' or 'dense' in its own special way.
The word 짙다 has roots in Middle Korean, where it was used to describe the thickness of liquids or the density of objects. Over centuries, it evolved from purely physical descriptions to include abstract concepts like 'deep' emotions or 'strong' impressions.
It is a native Korean word, meaning it doesn't come from Chinese characters (Hanja). This makes it feel very natural and grounded in the daily life of Korean speakers throughout history.
You will hear 짙다 most often with nouns like 안개 (fog), 향기 (scent), or 색깔 (color). It is a neutral word, meaning you can use it in both casual chats with friends and more formal writing.
If you want to say 'the fog is thick,' you say '안개가 짙다.' If you want to describe a 'deep' love or connection, you can also use it to express that the feeling is very strong and dense.
While 짙다 is mostly a descriptive adjective, it appears in many common phrases. 1. 안개가 짙게 깔리다: Fog is spread thickly. 2. 짙은 화장: Heavy makeup. 3. 짙은 어둠: Deep darkness. 4. 짙은 향기: A strong, lingering scent. 5. 짙은 감동: A deep, intense feeling of being moved.
As an adjective, 짙다 conjugates easily. In the present tense, it becomes 짙어요 (polite) or 짙다 (plain form). The pronunciation is straightforward: 'jit-da' with a crisp 't' sound.
It rhymes with words like 믿다 (to believe) or 읽다 (to read), which might help you remember the sound! Just remember to keep the 't' sound sharp and clear.
Fun Fact
It is one of the few words that perfectly describes both physical fog and abstract emotions.
