"돌" (pronounced "dol") is the Korean word for "stone" or "rock." It refers to solid, naturally occurring mineral materials found in the earth's crust. Stones can vary in size, shape, and color, and they are often used in construction, landscaping, and art. In Korean culture, 돌 also has special significance. For example, the traditional 돌잔치 (doljanchi) is a celebration held on a child's first birthday, symbolizing the child's growth and health. Additionally, 돌 is often associated with the 돌탑 (doltap), a stone tower that serves as a marker or offering in various cultural practices.
