意思
To put a tree into the ground to grow.
文化背景
Arbor Day (식목일) was a public holiday until 2005. Although it's no longer a day off, it remains a major cultural event for environmental awareness. Villages often have a 'Guardian Tree' (Dangsan-namu) that was planted by ancestors. It is believed to protect the village from spirits and disasters. Teachers are often compared to people who plant trees, emphasizing that education takes a long time to show results, just like a tree growing. In 'Apartment' culture, 'planting a tree' has shifted to 'planting' small trees in pots on balconies or participating in community garden projects.
Use with '그루'
When counting trees you plant, use the counter '그루' (geuru). Example: '나무 세 그루를 심었어요' (I planted three trees).
Don't forget the '를'
In formal writing, always include the object marker '를'. In speaking, it's okay to drop it.
