意味
Describes a strong current of air moving, often with force.
文化的背景
Jeju is known for its strong winds. Traditional houses have low, thatched roofs tied down with thick ropes to prevent them from being blown away when '바람이 세게 불다'. The term '열풍' (fever-wind) is used to describe market trends. When a new technology like AI or a new food trend like 'Tanghulu' hits, people say the wind is blowing strongly. Wind often symbolizes trial or hardship. In Yun Dong-ju's poetry, wind is a force that makes the poet reflect on his life and the suffering of his nation. The 'Hallyu' (Korean Wave) is literally the 'Korean Flow/Wind'. When K-pop dominates global charts, Korean media describes it as the 'Hallyu wind blowing strongly' across the world.
Use with '-는 바람에'
This is a high-level grammar hack. '바람이 세게 부는 바람에...' means 'Because the wind blew strongly (unexpectedly)...'. It's a pun and a natural expression!
Avoid '크게'
English speakers often say 'Big wind'. In Korean, this sounds like the wind is physically large in size, which is nonsensical. Stick to '세게'.
