Also spelled oanda

sit down in a particular way

A verb plus -어 in front of 앉다 says how you end up seated: 쭈그려 앉다 "squat down", 둘러앉다 "sit in a circle", 나눠 앉다 "sit split into groups". One line uses the frozen 심장이 내려앉다 — the heart "sinking", not literal sitting. Several lines are just the bare command doubled, 앉아 앉아, which is how a host waves you into a seat.

Register: casual; the doubled 앉아 앉아 is warm and informal
