하낱도

Korean

Etymology

Univerbation of 한 (han, “one”) +‎ 낱 (nat, “piece”) +‎ 도 (-do, “even”).

Adverb

하낱도 • (hanatdo)

  1. (Gyeongsang, with a negated sentence) even a little
    하낱도 안 부꾸럽다. (Gyeongsang dialect, Changwon)
    Hanatdo an bukkureopda.
    It's not even a little shameful.

Usage notes

  • Speakers of other dialects often think this is a dialectal form of 하나도 (hana-do, “even one; even a little”), but 하나도 (hana-do) and 하낱도 (hanatdo) are both used in Gyeongsang and the two have separate etymologies.
