TTMIK [Ask Hyojin] What's the meaning of ??? - a podcast by G9Languages

?? is short for ?? ??. It's a relatively new slang term. Here, ?? means "mental" in English, but it's often used to mean "one's mental status" in Korean. And if something ????, that means it has "collapsed." So, ?? ?? literally means that your brain, or your mental status, has collapsed. You can use this in various situations, but it's commonly used when something bad has happened to you and you don't know what to do. For example, let's say that you thought your test was in 5 hours, but it turned out it's only in 20 minutes. In that kind of situation, you can say "? ?? ?? ???", which means "Right now, my status is ??"
