What do these words mean?
Another question! Sorry X)
I've seen many words like this and I've discovered that it's rather hard to find English equivalents (if there are any). Could you give me some rough translations please?

1. 파릇파릇 means blue, or green. And it has meaning more fresh, light color and includes meaning of growing status. When you use this word, you can say "A tree is budding which color is green" or "Grass is budding which color is green." => "풀이 / 나무의 새싹이 파릇파릇 돋아난다"
2. 펄펄 means very hot and its status is boiling. It has harder meaning than "팔팔" => "물이 펄펄 끓는다"
3. 주렁주렁 is used when something, especially fruits, is hanged in the air very much. => "사과가 주렁주렁 매달려있다."
4. 쑥쑥 means something growing very well. => "아이가 쑥쑥 자라다" "풀이 쑥쑥 자라다"
