Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #38

Do you have anyone that you feel good chemistry when talking to each other? You could use this word to describe the conversation with them

In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans say “good chemistry”!

티키타카 is the Korean pronunciation of ‘tiki-taka’, which means ‘tiki-taka’ or ‘good chemistry (in ones’ conversation)’.

This word comes from the Spanish term ‘tiki-taca’, which is a playing style in soccer characterized by short passings and movement.

Nowadays, it is commonly used to describe fast-paced conversations between people that have a natural flow.
