spoon 1 / 20
[숟까락] sutgarak spoon

This set covers the things you will see in a Korean kitchen and on a Korean dining table: spoon and chopsticks, bowls and plates, pots and pans, and the big appliances. You will use these words when you eat at a restaurant, cook at home, help a host family, or shop for kitchenware. Many Korean meals are served with a rice bowl, a soup bowl and several small side dishes, so bowl and plate words come up all the time. A cultural note: Koreans eat rice and soup with a spoon and side dishes with chopsticks, and the chopsticks are usually flat and made of metal. Learn the pictures first, then say each word out loud while pointing at the real object in your own kitchen.
