Significado
To move a window to an open position.
Contexto cultural
The concept of '환기' (ventilation) is deeply ingrained. Even in winter, many Koreans will open windows for 10 minutes a day to let out 'stale' air. Fine dust (미세먼지) alerts on smartphones dictate when people open their windows. There are 'good', 'normal', 'bad', and 'very bad' levels. Traditional Hanok windows were made of paper, allowing some air to circulate even when closed, unlike modern airtight glass windows. In high-rise apartments, windows often have a 'safety lock' to prevent them from opening too wide, especially in households with children.
The 'ㄹ' Rule
Always remember that '열다' becomes '엽니다' in formal speech. This is a common test question!
Fine Dust
In Korea, check the 'Mise-meon-ji' (fine dust) level before opening a window to avoid looking out of touch with health trends.
