TOPIK 6verb

스러지다

seureojida

스러져요 · 스러졌어요 · 스러질 거예요 · 스러진 (+noun)

to vanish, to fade away, to die out

Example

해가 지자 붉은 노을이 천천히 스러졌어요.

As the sun went down, the red glow slowly faded away.

Word parts

Sounds like 사라지다 'to disappear' and means something close, but more poetic.

Good to know

Don't confuse with 쓰러지다 'to collapse' — 스러지다 is softer, things melting quietly away.
