지난해 • ‎(jinanhae)

1. the previous year

Synonyms

• 전년 (前年, jeonnyeon)

Usage notes

This spacing is deprecated under standard South Korean orthography, according to Brain House (2005). Instead, the two constituent words should be separated, giving 지난 해 (jinan hae). However, the un-separated version remains quite common.
