what does 전복 mean? someone told me it was a seafood, but I also heard 전복 is a verb, I didn't get it. I think this word may have more than one meaning... please give me some examples.

Hi~ Yes you are right. It has three meanings. One, as you stated, a seafood; abalone. Second, a verb; roll over - like "A train derailed and turned over" : " 열차가 탈선하여 전복되었다" Third, a verb; overthrow - "They plotted to overthrow[overturn] the government." :"그들은 정부의 전복을 꾀했다." If you use Naver, it will help you a lot. It gives the different meanings and examples in korean and english. Best of luck~^^

전복 is a noun borrowed from Chinese (顚覆): rollover, overturn Just like most borrowed words, ~하다/~되다 can be attached 전복하다 is the verb "to turn/roll over" 전복되다 is the causative version of above "to get overturn" or 全鰒: abalone There are a few other homphones, but even most native Korean speakers don't know them.
