Usage notes

뿌글뿌글 (ppugeulppugeul) is the yin vowel, or dark vowel, form of 뽀글뽀글 (ppogeulppogeul).

In contemporary Korean, the yin vowels refer to /ʌ/, /e/, /u/, and often /i/. In Korean ideophones and sensory words, forms with these vowels have a connotation of darkness, largeness, murkiness, bluntness, old age, or negativeness.

뿌글뿌글 (ppugeulppugeul) is the intensive consonant form of 부글부글 (bugeulbugeul).

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.
