Lesson 44 · Checking Times & Arrangements

Introduction

확인하다 means check or confirm. Here, 맞다 means “to be correct” (as in 맞아요! “That’s right!”), not “to be hit” or fit clothing.

The romanization under each word is just a hint — try reading the Hangul first. Words tagged Focus are new today, and Review words come from earlier lessons.
