Hyeju’s Note

축의금 is money given to congratulate someone, commonly at a wedding. Do not assume one fixed amount or procedure applies to every relationship and event. 청첩장 specifically refers to a wedding invitation, while 봉투 is any envelope. 챙기다 includes making sure you have what you need.

Mini Practice

1. What does 결혼식 mean?
2. Write the Korean word for “congratulatory gift money.”
3. Match 1. 봉투, 2. 신랑, 3. 신부 with A. bride, B. envelope, C. groom.

Today’s Key Point

Keep the word with its natural action or object. Review 결혼식, 청첩장, 축의금, then say one phrase without looking.
