喜洋洋

• 병음: xǐ yáng yáng
• 한자 분석: 喜 = 壴 + 口 (drum + mouth — joy); 洋 = 氵+ 羊 (water + sheep — vast, ocean; overflowing) — reduplicated for intensification

뜻

환하게 기뻐하는, 기쁨이 넘치는

Often used to describe festive occasions, group celebrations, or a person's openly delighted demeanour. The reduplication 洋洋 intensifies the sense of overflowing joy. Commonly seen in Spring Festival contexts.
