anon asked: 안녕하습니다 for the request thing can you do a more indepth blog on the body? 고맙습니다
Yes! I very much can! To piggyback off this ask, I’m going to include certain systems of the body as well. This will be PART ONE of the in depth body posts! Please refer to my first body post to get the basics!
*pictured above is a plain face with closed eyes, highlighting the ears (vocabulary pointing to the necessary region)
- 머리 / 고개 - head
- major difference between 머리 and 고개: 머리 is used for the general region of the head (plus the brain and everything inside) whereas 고개 is used primarily for any movement of the head.
- 머리카락 / 머리칼 - hair
- 얼굴 / 낯 - face
- major difference between 얼굴 and 낯: 얼굴 refers to a physical face whereas 낯 refers to a mental/abstract face (see examples below).
- 이마 - forehead
- 눈 - eye
- 코 - nose
- 입 - mouth
- 턱 - chin
- 볼 / 빰 - cheek
- major difference between 볼 and 빰: 볼 refers to the centre of the cheek whereas 빰 refers to the general area. For example, you would pinch 볼 but slap 빰.
- 귀 - ear

Example Sentences:

- 음식에머리칼이 있습니다! - There’s a hairin my food!
- 낯/얼굴이 뜨거워요:
낯 = I’m embarrassed > the faceis hot (more abstract)
얼굴 = the faceis hot > I’m embarrassed (more concrete) - 괜찮아요? 네 이마에 열이 있잖아요.. - Are you ok? Your foreheadfeels hot.
- 눈을 감고 소원을 빌어 봐요! - Close your eyesand make a wish!

- not to be confused with 이빨 - tooth (usually for non-human animals)
