ėė¼(DOOKKI) ė”ė³¶ģ“[tteok-ppo-kki]

ė§µģ°ģ“ [maep-jji-ri]
Someone who can't handle spicy food
This is a casual expression often used among friends and close acquaintances, usually people in their teens to 40s. Of course, some young-at-heart people in their 50s and older also use it. š
[maep-jji-ri] is a trendy slang term that combines two different words:
ā ė§µė¤[maep-dda]: spicy, hot
ā ģ°ģ§ģ“[jji-ji-ri]: loser
While [jji-ji-ri] carries the meaning of š± loser, it has a more playful, teasing vibe, similar to how š± loser might be used in English in a casual, joking way.
Just like you wouldnāt casually call someone older than you a š± loser, you should only use [jji-ji-ri] with close friends or people you feel comfortable with.
źæķ [kkul-tip]
Some super useful and valuable infomation
This word started out as slang, but it has become so common that it's now part of everyday conversation, so we highly recommend that you remember it.
[kkul-tip] is a word that combines ā źæ[kkul] (honey) and ā ķ[tip] (tip). Just like eating sweet honey makes you feel good and happy, it means important information that makes you feel sweet and happy.
š Now, let us share a [kkul-tip]
from our KONOGRAM edutainers about DOOKKI!
Adding lots of ģė°°ģ¶[yang-bae-chu] (cabbage), ėķ[dae-pa] (green onions), and ģķ[yang-pa] (onions) enhances the richness of the broth when making stock.
Items like ģ¼ė¼ė§ė[ya-kki-man-du] (fried dumplings), ź¹ė§ģ“[kim-ma-ri] (fried seaweed rolls), and ģė[sun-dae] (blood sausage) are delicious on their own, but try dipping them in the [tteok-bbo-kki] for an extra flavor kick.
When making [tteok-bbo-kki], adding 2/3 ladles of the broth provided along with 1/3 ladle of ģ“ė¬µķ[eo-muk-tang] (fish cake soup) gives it an even deeper flavor.
ķ©źø ė ģķ¼ [hwang-geum-re-si-pi]
