Comment l'utiliser
양파 (yangpa) refers to the common onion that you buy in a grocery store. It's a fundamental ingredient in many Korean dishes. You'll often see it sliced, diced, or minced.
Examples:
저는 양파를 썰었어요. (I sliced the onion.)
김치찌개에 양파를 넣어요. (Put onion in kimchi stew.)
양파는 매워요. (Onions are spicy.)
A common mistake for beginners is confusing '양파' with other root vegetables. While it's a root vegetable, it specifically means onion. If you want to talk about garlic, you'd use '마늘' (maneul), and for potatoes, it's '감자' (gamja).
