Usage notes

In the present tense, used to mean “to look for”, and often used with 보다 (boda, “to try to do something”) or an adverb of manner such as 열심히 (熱心—, yeolsimhi, “dedicatedly”) and 샅샅이 (satsachi, “thoroughly”). This can imply a successful search, i.e. “to find”, especially in the past tense, and this sense is often used with an adverb of result such as 쉽게 (swipge, “easily”) or 못 (mot, “cannot”).
