What 켜 means

As a form of 켜다, 켜 means “turn on” or “light.”

The object distinguishes separate Korean verbs: besides lighting, 켜 can mean sawing, playing a bowed string instrument, or gulping.

King Sejong devised Hangul for Korean in 1443 because Chinese characters fit the language poorly. The Sejong Sillok (King Sejong's annals) records it; the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explains the alphabet.

As a direct command, 켜 is informal; 켜요 is polite.
