Usage notes
editIn contemporary non-literary Korean, this term is primarily encountered in the adjective 영락(零落)없다 (yeongnageopda, literally “to be without decline”) and adverb 영락(零落)없이 (yeongnageopsi, literally “without decline”), which however have only the idiomatic senses of "to be unmistakable; to be for sure" and "unmistakably; for sure" respectively.
