Word origin
It comes from English note, but Korean uses the borrowed word as a broad everyday label for both notebooks and records made in them.
Usage tips
- A Korean speaker may use this word without saying whether the record is in a bound book, on a small pad, or in an app, so the medium is usually understood from context.
