When you hear a sudden sound of something small and light falling, like raindrops or leaves, you can describe it as 후드득.
Imagine a light rain starting to fall, making soft pattering sounds – that's 후드득. Or if a bunch of leaves suddenly fall from a tree, you might hear a 후드득 sound.
It's like a soft, quick plop-plop sound.
When you hear 후드득 (hudeudeuk), think about things falling quickly and suddenly. It's often used for raindrops hitting a surface, like a window or the ground. You might also hear it when leaves fall from a tree, especially if there are many falling at once. This word describes that quick, light, repetitive falling sound. It helps you imagine the scene clearly.
후드득 (hudeudeuk) is an adverb that vividly describes the sound of multiple small, light objects falling quickly and simultaneously. It's often used for the sound of raindrops on a surface like a roof or window, or leaves falling from a tree. You might also hear it when describing small grains or pebbles falling. The sound emphasizes a sudden, quick scattering.
Example 1: 빗방울이 창문에 후드득 떨어졌다. (Bitbanguri changmune hudeudeuk tteoreojyeotda.)
Translation hint: The raindrops ____ fell on the window.

§ Understanding 후드득 (Hudeudeuk)
The Korean word 후드득 is an adverb. It's an onomatopoeic word, meaning it imitates a sound. Specifically, it mimics the sound of many small things falling suddenly and quickly. Think of raindrops hitting a surface, or leaves falling from a tree.
Let's break down its definition and see some examples.
- DEFINITION
- Sound of raindrops or leaves falling suddenly.
§ Basic Usage of 후드득
As an adverb, 후드득 typically modifies verbs that describe falling actions. The most common verbs you'll see with 후드득 are:
떨어지다 (tteoreojida): to fall, to drop
내리다 (naerida): to fall (often used for rain, snow)
You'll place 후드득 directly before the verb it modifies.
§ Examples with Rain (비)
This is one of the most common contexts for 후드득.
비가 후드득 떨어지기 시작했다. (The rain started to fall pitter-patter.)
창문에 빗방울이 후드득 내렸다. (Raindrops fell pitter-patter on the window.)
In these examples, 후드득 emphasizes the sudden, rapid, and relatively light sound of individual raindrops.
§ Examples with Leaves (낙엽/잎)
You can also use 후드득 to describe leaves falling, especially in autumn.
바람이 불자 낙엽이 후드득 떨어졌다. (As the wind blew, the fallen leaves dropped fluttering.)
나무에서 잎사귀가 후드득 떨어지는 소리가 들렸다. (I heard the sound of leaves falling pitter-patter from the tree.)
§ More Advanced Use: Describing Hair or Dust
후드득 can also be used to describe hair falling out or dust falling off something, especially when it happens suddenly and in small amounts.
머리카락이 후드득 떨어졌다. (Hair fell out suddenly in clumps.)
먼지가 옷에서 후드득 떨어졌다. (Dust fell off in small bits from the clothes.)
§ Key Takeaways
When you use 후드득, remember:
It describes a sudden and continuous falling sound or action.
It's for small, multiple items (rain, leaves, hair, dust).
It adds a sense of immediacy and vividness to your description.
Practice using 후드득 in your sentences to make your Korean sound more natural and expressive. Listen for it in Korean dramas or songs, and you'll start to notice it more often!
Fun Fact
Many Korean onomatopoeic words have variations depending on the intensity or size of the sound/action. '후드득' suggests a slightly heavier or more distinct sound compared to '후두둑' (which is for smaller, lighter drops).
Grammar to Know
Onomatopoeic adverbs often directly precede the verb they modify without any intervening particles.
비가 후드득 내렸다. (The rain fell suddenly.)
Many onomatopoeic adverbs can be repeated for emphasis or to describe a continuous or repetitive sound.
빗방울이 창문에 후드득후드득 떨어졌다. (Raindrops fell pitter-patter on the window.)
Onomatopoeic adverbs can sometimes be followed by the particle '하고' or '하며' to integrate them more smoothly into a sentence, especially when describing a sound that accompanies an action.
낙엽이 바람에 후드득하고 떨어졌다. (The fallen leaves dropped with a rustle in the wind.)
These adverbs are typically used in descriptive contexts, often in storytelling or when painting a vivid picture with words.
그녀는 빗소리가 후드득 들리는 창밖을 바라보았다. (She looked out the window, hearing the pitter-patter of rain.)
While '후드득' specifically describes the sound of falling raindrops or leaves, other similar onomatopoeic adverbs exist for different types of falling or sudden movements.
과일이 나무에서 후드득 떨어졌다. (The fruit fell suddenly from the tree.)
