哆嗦

• 병음: duō suo
• 한자 분석: 哆 = 口 (mouth) + 多 (many) — many mouth movements, chattering; 嗦 = 口 (mouth) + 索 (rope/pull) — pulling the lips or teeth together

뜻

몸을 부르르 떨다; 떨리다(추위·두려움 등으로)

哆嗦 is colloquial and vividly describes involuntary physical trembling. Commonly combined with adverbs of cause: 冻得哆嗦 (shivering with cold), 吓得哆嗦 (trembling with fright), 浑身哆嗦 (trembling all over). The reduplication gives it an expressive, onomatopoeic quality.
