- Korean
positive connotation
긍정적(인) 의미 = 좋은 의미
negative connotation
부정적(인) 의미 = 나쁜 의미
- Korean
Plus, Korean also commonly use the word '뉘앙스' (adopt from French 'nuance') instead of '의미'.
- English (US)
@Cortisol ah i see, so like 나쁜 뉘앙스 or 좋은 뉘앙스?
- Korean
Yes. 좋은 의미/뉘앙스 or 나쁜 의미/뉘앙스. I think '안 좋은' is more prefered instead of '나쁜', but '나쁜' is still ok, too.
