Text symbol

What 전 means

Context sets the word's meaning. Separate 전 after a noun means “before” (결혼 전); 김치전 is a savory pancake; -전 in 신경전 means battle or contest.

전 괜찮아요 shortens 저는 (“as for me”): “I'm fine.” This shortening is conversational.

Hangul was created in 1443 to make Korean writing accessible. 전 combines the consonant letter ᄌ, vowel letter ᅥ, and final consonant letter ᆫ.

Only the shortening of 저는 is conversational.

Don't assume every 전 shortens 저는.
