갤마다

Korean

Etymology

Not very clear.

The general shape of the word corresponds to 갤차다 (gaelchada, to teach), a common Gyeongsang form of Standard Korean 가르치다 (gareuchida, to teach). But since /-m-/ clearly cannot correspond to /-t͡ɕ-/, it is more likely that an etymologically separate verb was partly merged with 갤차다 (gaelchada) due to semantic overlap.

Verb

갤마다 (gaelmada) (infinitive 갤마)

  1. (southeastern Gyeongsang) Only used in 갤마주다 (gaelmajuda, to teach (something) to).
