8/3 Explain what the Korean word aegyo means in English.

It's a way of acting cute and irresistible.
* irresistible: so strong that it cannot be stopped or resisted
ex> I find the smell of freshly baked cookies absolutely irresistible.

It comes in handy when she wants to have her way.
* have one's way: 본인 뜻대로 하다.
ex> My younger sister always needs to have her way.

In fact, a guy may even be ridiculed if he uses aegyo.
* be ridiculed: 비웃음을 사다.

Aiing is sort of an onomatopoeia that really has no definition.
* onomatopoeia [ɑ̀nəmæ̀təpíːə]: the fact of words containing sounds similar to the noises they describe, for example hiss, 의성어
ex> Including a lot of onomatopoeias in your writing makes it more fun.

It is more of a sound effect you make when you show aegyo.

Aegyo is something that generally tends to disappear with age.
ex> I used to have this skin condition when I was young, but it disappeared with age.
