What 돈 means
돈 can mean money, a cost, or personal wealth.
Korean sentence markers show which sense fits: cash, cost, or wealth.
The folk explanation linking 돈 to 돌다 (“to turn”) is not an established origin as of 2026. Standardized coinage appeared in Korea in 996; wider circulation helped 돈 become a general money word.
Neutral alone; sentence context can make it transactional or accusatory.
돈 alone does not mean “pay me.”
