세차다

Korean

Etymology

세 (se-, “to be strong”) + 차다 (chada, “to be full”).

First attested in the Cheobhae sineo (捷解新語/첩해신어), 1676, as Early Modern Korean 세ᄎᆞ다 (Yale: seychota).

Pronunciation

• (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [ˈsʰe̞(ː)t͡ɕʰa̠da̠]
• Phonetic hangul: [세(ː)차다]
  • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
