(1091)＜2921＞: snug / 딱 맞는

[williamahn]

                    ***** snug  ******

                               (딱 맞는)

         Tips=[1]= 기존에 딱 맞던 옷이 체중이 늘거나 세탁후에 좀 끼는 경우가 있다.

                                         이럴 때 쓰는 단어가 바로 snug으로 "아늑한"이란 뜻 이외에도

                                        "옷이 딱 맞는"이란 뜻도있다.

                                         예를 들면 "이 티셨스가 몸에 좀 낀다"라는 말은

                                         "This t-shirt is a little snug."이라고 한다.
