Hangul Syllable Jol

7289/11172

졸 (jol) is a Korean Hangul syllable, not a word on its own — read the whole word, especially 졸다, which usually means to doze. The same spelling can also mean boiling down or, in slang, cowering. Hangul was devised in 1443 and completed in 1446; 졸다 is recorded in a 1447 Middle Korean text.

Text symbol

What 졸 means

Read the whole Korean word before translating 졸.

졸다 is the native verb behind the sleepy reading in words like 졸려 and 졸리다. A lone 졸 settles nothing: keep its neighbours, and do not swap it for Hanja 卒, which only shares the sound in words like 졸업.

Neutral inside Korean words; the cowering sense is slang.

A bare 졸 is ambiguous: keep its surrounding word.
