Usage notes
보싹 (bossak) is the yang vowel, or bright vowel, form of 부썩 (busseok).
In contemporary Korean, the yang vowels refer to /a/, /ɛ/, and /o/. In Korean ideophones and sensory words, forms with these vowels have a connotation of brightness, smallness, clearness, sharpness, youth, or positiveness.
보싹 (bossak) is the intensive consonant form of 보삭 (bosak).
In many Korean ideophones and sensory words, forms with consonants which are aspirated or tensed are intensive; they emphasize the degree to which the description is true.
뽀삭 (pposak) is another intensive form of 보삭 (bosak), and is considered more emphatic than 보싹 (bossak).
