Text symbol

What 눴 means

It marks a completed trip to the toilet. 눴 is the contracted past form of 누다, the ordinary Korean verb for urinating or defecating. The preceding noun supplies the detail: 똥 눴어 means “I pooped”; 오줌 눴어 means “I peed.”

누다 appears in the Korean text 석보상절 in 1447. A 2021 historical study describes it as the plain verb for urinating or defecating in Korean records. It also traces other toilet verbs: 보다 became a euphemism, while 싸다 shifted from unusual excretion toward accidents and later broadened in use.

Plain, everyday Korean; 누다 is the neutral verb for using the toilet.

누웠다 is from 눕다, “to lie down”; 눴 is from 누다.
