당해
"당해" means "relevant to," "pertinent to," or "the said" in English, often referring to something specific or designated.
Here, "당해" is used as a verb meaning 'to suffer.' It often conveys the idea of encountering something undesirable or adverse.
그는 지난해에 큰 사건에 당해 피해를 입었다.
He suffered damage due to a major incident last year.
In this usage, "당해" again means 'to be hurt by' someone and reflects emotional response or vulnerability.
그녀는 친구에게 당해 기분이 상해 버렸다.
She felt upset because she was hurt by her friend.
Here, '당해' functions differently, meaning 'each' or 'in the case of,' specifying the subject to which the statement applies.
