anon asked: what’s the difference between 끊다 and 자르다?
Great question! Hopefully my answer helps! Both can mean “to cut” but here’s a better explanation:
One is used abstractly, while the other is used for more concrete situations. When you want to cut something for a recipe, or cut a piece of paper, you use 자르다. When you want to hang up the phone, or quit smoking, you use 끊다.
끊다 - cut (something abstract); not a literal cutting of something
- 이만 끊을게요 - I’ll hang up (on the phone)
- 앞으로 담배를 끊을 거예요 - From now on, I’m going to quit smoking.
자르다 - cut (something concrete); a literal cutting of something
- 종이를 반으로 자르세요 - cut the paper in half
- 이렇게 잘라야 해요 - you should cut it like this
- 머리 잘라서 머리가 짧아졌어요 - my hair got shorter because I cut it
Hope that helps! Happy learning :)
