Proper noun edit
Noun edit
- a monetary unit of North Korea and formerly of South Korea, equal to one hundredth of a won.
- (dated, diasporic, US) cent (a unit of currency)
Usage notes edit
While its use as the meaning of 'cent' is generally restricted to older speakers of Korean, in older diasporic communities in the west it is often still the predominant way of representing cents in terms of currency regardless of age. The same occurs, though to a lesser extent with the words 달러 (dalleo) and 불 (bul), with the latter often being the exclusive way of saying 'dollar' among Korean diasporic communities in the west while in Korea both are used.
