What is "flower" in korean language?

It is %26quot;꽃%26quot; in Korean. It is pronounced like %26quot;ggod%26quot; or %26quot;ggot%26quot;.





Hope it helps :)
What is %26quot;flower%26quot; in korean language?

花(화) hwa/hua is used as Cinese character meaning flower in word making like:


開花하다 literary meanning %26quot;to do open flower%26quot; meaning to blossom....
Reply:iloveyun2007,





Koreans don%26#039;t use it as Chinese characters, they are Chinese characters. The Korean pronunciation %26quot;hwa%26quot;, is from Mandarin Chinese %26quot;hua%26quot;. They write Sino-Korean hangul/hangeul according to it.





開花 = to bloom, blossom [in Chinese, kai hua: 開 kai = to open, 花 hua = flower(s)].





하다 hada = Korean for %26quot;to do, to make%26quot;





so literally, 開花하다 = to do/make open flower? = to make a flower bloom or blossom, as if it wouldn%26#039;t on it%26#039;s own and need our help.





As I stated above, it already has a meaning %26quot;to bloom%26quot;.


It%26#039;s redundant: the Chinese word kai 開 is already a verb? I guess Koreans tried to %26quot;Koreanize%26quot; 開花?genealogy mormon
