What 튐 means
Press x, n, l, then a on a Korean two-set (두벌식) keyboard.
Those keys enter ㅌ, ㅜ, ㅣ, and ㅁ. The input method combines ㅜ+ㅣ as ㅟ and assembles the syllable block. If it leaves separate Hangul letters or Latin letters, switch to Korean input.
What does 튐 mean in Korean?
It is the noun-like form of the verb 튀다.
The verb can mean to bounce, spatter, bolt away in colloquial speech, or stand out. The noun 튐 takes its sense from the surrounding phrase: 침 튐 names saliva spatter, while 침 튀김 uses transitive 튀기다 and can foreground what caused it.
An older form of the related verb, ᄩᅱ다, appears in the 1447 Seokbo sangjeol, a Buddhist text. Hangul was designed to write Korean with learnable letter forms; 튐 combines the opening consonant ㅌ, vowel ㅟ, and closing consonant ㅁ into one syllable block.
What does 튐 mean when someone sends it?
A bare 튐 needs the surrounding words to make sense.
In a practical label, 침 튐 방지 means prevention of saliva spatter; 튐 방지 뚜껑 is a lid meant to keep food or grease from splashing out.
If someone sends only 튐, ask for the surrounding phrase before choosing a meaning.
Neutral in product labels and manuals; the related verb's “bolt” sense is colloquial.
A bare 튐 is ambiguous; let its Korean phrase decide between a splash and other senses.
