아파트

apateu

In Korea it means

A flat in a big high-rise complex — often owned, often the family dream.

In English, say

“apartment / condo (in a complex)”

Why it's different

Short for “apartment,” but in Korea it brings to mind a flat in a large high-rise complex — the most common kind of home.

Example

우리 가족은 이번에 아파트로 이사해.My family is moving into an apartment.
