There are certain words in this world that we wish we could avoid—but simply can’t. They are the words that mean “death.” Some of these words express objective facts without emotion, while others carry feelings of sadness or sorrow. In everyday life, Koreans often use softer and more respectful expressions instead of the direct word “to die.” Let’s take a look at those expressions now.

Have you ever tried so hard to push beyond your limits…
only to realize you’ve gone a little too far?

In Korean, there are two small prefixes that carry that exact feeling —
초(超) and 과(過).

Both mean “to go beyond,”
but one feels powerful and inspiring— as if you’ve surpassed yourself.
The other feels like a gentle warning— when something has gone just a bit too far.

Today, through everyday words, we’ll explore how these two characters are used in Korean.
