Also spelled ojukda

dying of; die from

Literally 'die from', and both readings appear here. As exaggeration, usually in the form 죽겠다, it just means an unbearable amount: 아.. 더워 죽겠는데 'I'm dying of heat', 스포 하지 마! 궁금해 죽겠어 'I'm dying to know.' Taken literally it is an actual death: 내가 트럭에 깔려 죽으면 'if I got run over and killed.' The word in front — a feeling like 더워, 궁금해, 좋아 — is what marks it as the exaggeration.

Register: the 죽겠다 exaggeration is casual
