What does 오붓하다 mean?
오붓하다 (o-but-ha-da) means: Cozy, intimate, and comfortably secluded with a few close people.
A large, noisy party is never '오붓하다'. This word is reserved for a quiet dinner with just your family, or drinking tea alone with your best friend in a quiet corner. It implies a warm, private bonding time.
