Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #17

What’s your favorite drink at a café?

No matter the weather, many Koreans continue to enjoy their beloved iced Americano

In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans call “Iced Americano”!

아아 is short for ‘아이스 아메리카노’ which is the Korean pronunciation of ‘Iced Americano’.

Koreans are fond of iced Americanos, which is a beverage made from black coffee served over ice.

This abbreviation has become so popular that most baristas would understand it when you order by saying “아아 한 잔 주세요. (One cup of iced Americano, please.)” at a café.
