가짜
When something is 가짜 (gajja), it means it's not real or genuine; it's a fake or a counterfeit. This word is often used for products like watches or bags that are copies of expensive brands, but it can also describe things that are not authentic, like a fake smile or a fabricated story.
For example, if you see a designer bag that looks suspiciously cheap, you might think, "이거 가짜 아니야?" (Isn't this a fake?). Or, if someone tells a story that seems unbelievable, you could say, "그 이야기 가짜 같아요." (That story seems fake).
When something is 가짜 (gajja), it means it's not real or genuine; it's a fake or a counterfeit. This word is often used for products like watches or bags that are copies of expensive brands.

It's a useful word to know for describing anything that's an imitation rather than the original, or something that's insincere.
