So mi-shik somehow refers to US? Because mi-shik chuk-ku is American Footbal and chuk-ku is football? 🙂 I love it when languages do that.
It’s like when I found out that fish = mulgogi. Easy to remember!
Yup! Korean does that quite frequently with a lot of words which is awesome for remembering.
In this context, “Mi” means America, like in Miguk. “Shik” means “way/method.” So in total it means “America-way football.” Note that these words don’t always have the same meaning; for example, “shik” can also mean food.
Ah, I thought eumshik (or something sounding similar) means food. I should be careful when drawing conclusions.
Thanks~
“Eumshik” means food, too 🙂
A lot of Korean words are actually derived from Chinese characters, so two word parts that are written the same in Korean can actually have completely different meanings.
Eum-shik/음식 = 飮食 (Eat-Food)
Mi-shik/미식 = 美式 (America-Way)
So in the first word, shik means food (eumshik means food too), and in the second word, shik means way.
The point is that although you can often guess the meaning of new words by their constituent parts, just be careful that same sound doesn’t always equal same meaning.
