Twelve Months in Pure Korean Words(순우리말) and more
Hello! this is admin Do. Today I will introduce twelve months in Pure Korean words and some good pure Korean words.
- Twelve Months in Pure Korean Word
In a monthly magazine, “작은 것이 아름답다”, published by 녹색연합, a private environmental activist group, the twelve months in the pure Korean word named by 임의진 of 남녘 Church was introduced. He suggested using these names, which are meaningful and friendly, instead of dull numbers, and 12 months in Korean were created. Thus, each month is not an official name in Korean. Though the names are not official, they capture the images of each month beautifully in pure Korean!
