TOPIK 3adjective

둥글다

dunggeulda

둥글어요 · 둥글었어요 · 둥근 (+noun) (ㄹ drops)

round

Example

그 아이는 얼굴이 둥글고 귀여워요.

That child has a round, cute face.

Word parts

Related to 동그랗다 'round'; the darker vowels give a bigger, fuller feel.

Good to know

The ㄹ drops before ㄴ, so 'round face' is 둥근 얼굴, not 둥글은 얼굴.
