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.
