How do you say the verb 'cherish' and the noun 'treasure' in korean?
I'm getting a tattoo and I'd like to have a word on it in korean , but I'm not 100% sure so I'd like to ask for a little help 😊

Question

Answer

to cherish = 소중히 여기다, 소중히 간직하다, 소중히 기억하다.
treasure = 보물 (precious thing), 보배 (precious person or thing), 소중한 사람 (precious person), 소중한 것 (precious thing).

For both phrases, the adjective 소중하다 (precious, important, cherished) is the underlying idea.  보물 and 보배 seem to lack the sense of personal attachment.

Answer

Treasure is 보물 in Korea. Cherish is 소중히 여기다, 아끼다
