아 맞다! 우산을 깜빡했네!
Oh, right! I forgot my umbrella!
아 맞다! 핸드폰 충전해야 돼!
Oh, right! I should charge my phone!

아 맞다! 뭐예요? 
What is “아 맞다!” in Korean? 

“Ah!" is an exclamation used when someone realizes something suddenly. Simple, right?

Then what about "맞다"(matda)?
Actually, "맞다" is a verb that means "to correspond or match with something else without conflicting in action, opinion, or situation."
In English, you could say "It's correct. It’s right."
However, Korean people use the expression "맞다" when suddenly remembering something.
If you realize something you forget and you remember it, 
you can say "아, 맞다!"

Don’t forget this!
아 맞다!

Here's a caution!
"맞다" is not an adjective but a verb.
In the case of Korean verbs, '-는다' should be added instead of '-다' to form "맞는다" (matneunda).
However, Koreans use "맞다" more often.
It may be grammatically incorrect, but it's used this way most of the time.

TASK 15 - AS SOMEONE ONCE SAID..... 

If someone has "the gift of gab," they have the natural ability to talk in a way that makes people want to listen to them or believe them. For example, a politician may use "the gift of gab" to get people to vote for them.
