뜻
To be completely wet, usually from rain or water.
문화적 배경
In Spain, the phrase 'estar hecho una sopa' is extremely common and considered quite friendly and descriptive. Mexicans might use 'estar empapado' but also 'estar hecho un pato' (like a duck) to describe the same state. In the Rio de la Plata region, 'estar re mojado' is a very common informal way to say you are soaked. Due to frequent tropical storms, being 'empapado' is a daily reality and people are very used to seeing others in this state.
