On Sunday I taught a live Korean class about how to say “first” in Korean. Like anything, there are many ways it can be done. However mostly these are just simple adverbs you can just memorize. I also taught a more intermediate form which has a similar meaning, and can be used together for more emphasis. The words I taught were 먼저, 일단, 우선, 처음, and ~부터 (하다).

急 is read 급, and means “sudden” or “urgent.” It’s used in Hanja words that have the meaning of something being rushed, such as 급하다, 구급차, 긴급, and others.
