Smile Korean Expression #32 | 서두르다 | To Hurry / To Rush

Today’s expression: ‘서두르다’ (seodureuda)

Have you ever had to rush because you were running out of time?

서두르다 means to hurry or rush when you need to do something quickly. In this episode, we’ll also take a look at 다급하다, which is used when a situation feels urgent or you’re feeling pressed for time.

I’ll share a story about traveling with friends and having to hurry to catch a bus. We’ll also talk about the Korean proverb “급할수록 돌아가라”, which means that when you’re in a hurry, it’s important to stay calm and not rush too much.

I hope this episode helps you understand not only the meaning of 서두르다, but also how Koreans use it in everyday conversations.
