쫌
jjom
🇰🇷 Korean slang from Busan
What does “쫌” mean?
come on!; give it a rest (annoyed)
Example
“쫌! 조용히 해라.”
jjom! joyonghi haera.
Come on! Be quiet.
Good to know
The standard 좀 (a bit, please), said hard. On its own, 쫌! means “give it a rest!”.
Who you can say it to
With friends, not your boss
😮 Reactions
The textbook way to say it: 좀 그만해
