Korean Word of the Day

말하다 is the neutral, most common verb for saying or speaking. Use it for direct statements (말해요, 말했어요). 이야기하다 often implies a conversation or telling a story, while 말씀하다 is the honorific form used when speaking about someone of higher status (e.g., to elders, teachers). You’ll see 말하다 used in many expressions (말해 주세요 = please tell me; 말로 표현하기 어렵다 = hard to express in words).
