意味
Expresses the feeling of wanting to sleep.
文化的背景
In Korea, students often use the phrase '졸려요' as a greeting of sorts during exam periods to show they are working hard. Saying '졸려요' in a Korean office is often met with sympathy rather than judgment, as long as it's not during a critical task. On KakaoTalk, there are hundreds of 'sleepy' themed stickers (emoticons) because the feeling is so universally shared in the busy culture. If someone is 'always' sleepy (졸려요), Koreans might suggest they have 'weak energy' and recommend herbal medicine (Hanyak).
The 'Yawn' Rule
If you are yawning, say '졸려요'. If you are sighing from work, say '피곤해요'.
Don't be too cute
Avoid saying '졸령' to your boss; it sounds like you are flirting or acting like a baby.
