**** 한국인이 잘못 알고 있는 힙의 개념****

💠 1. Hip

🔹 위치: 허리 바로 아래, 다리의 윗부분 (엉덩이 옆쪽)
🔹 뜻: “엉덩이 부위의 옆면”, 즉 골반 부위를 가리켜요.
🔹 예시:

• I put my hands on my hips. → 나는 양손을 허리에 얹었다.
• She wore jeans that fit tightly around her hips. → 그녀는 엉덩이 쪽에 꼭 맞는 청바지를 입었다.

⚙️ 즉, hip = 골반 / 허리 아래 옆선 부분이에요.
영어에서 “허리에 손을 얹다”라고 말할 때도 hips를 써요,
왜냐하면 실제 손이 닿는 위치가 허리보다 약간 아래쪽이기 때문이에요.

---

💠 2. Bottom

🔹 위치: 엉덩이 전체의 아랫부분, 앉을 때 닿는 부분
🔹 뜻: “엉덩이” 또는 “엉덩이 전체의 하단”
🔹 예시:

• The baby fell on his bottom. → 아기가 엉덩방아를 찧었다.
• Sit down on your bottom. → 엉덩이로 앉으세요.

⚙️ 즉, bottom = 엉덩이 그 자체 (앉는 부분)
좀 더 일상적이고 부드러운 표현이에요.
의학적으로나 해부학적으로는 “buttocks”라고 하지만,
일상에서는 bottom이 더 공손하고 자연스러워요.

💡 비교 요약

단어                위치                                                느낌 / 사용 상황                                     예문

  

hip	허리 바로 아래, 옆쪽 (골반)	중립적, 옷이나 동작 설명할 때	“Hands on hips.”
bottom	엉덩이 아래쪽 (앉는 부분)	일상적, 부드러운 말	“He sat on his bottom.”
buttocks	엉덩이 양쪽 전체	의학적·격식적 표현	“He injured his buttocks.”

---

🇰🇷 한국어 감각:

“힙(hip)” = 엉덩이 (전체적인 느낌)
“힙한 스타일”이라는 표현처럼, hip을 **‘엉덩이 라인’ + ‘세련된 이미지’**로 섞어서 인식하죠.
그래서 ‘힙업(hip-up)’ 같은 단어가 생긴 것도 이 감각이에요.

그런데 영어에서 “hip”은 엄밀히 말하면 엉덩이의 ‘옆면’,
즉 골반부에 더 가깝습니다.

---

🇺🇸 영어권 감각:

단어                                       영어 원래 의미                                             한국식 오해            위치 감각

 

hip	골반 옆쪽 (허리 아래~다리 위)	엉덩이 전체	옆 (side)
buttocks / bottom	앉는 부위 (엉덩이 살 부분)	엉덩이 일부	뒤 (back / seat area)

💬 영어 원어민 입장에서는
“hip”은 fit around the hips (허리 아래 옆선이 잘 맞다)
“bottom”은 sit on your bottom (엉덩이로 앉다)
이런 식으로 ‘옆 vs 아래’ 감각이 분명해요.

---

🪷 예시로 느껴보기

• My jeans are tight around my hips.
  → 내 청바지가 엉덩이 옆라인에 꽉 끼어요. (골반 쪽)
• My bottom hurts after sitting too long.
  → 오래 앉아 있어서 엉덩이 아랫부분이 아파요.
• She injured her hip in a car accident.
  → 그녀는 교통사고로 골반 부위를 다쳤어요.
  (엉덩이 살이 아니라, 실제 hip joint 부분)

---

📍즉, 한국어의 “힙”은 영어의 “hip”보다 넓고 아래쪽까지 포함하는 개념이에요.
그래서 영어에서는 ‘엉덩이 살 부분’을 말할 때 hip보다 bottom / buttocks가 훨씬 자연스럽죠.
