Etymological origin of

In many translations of the word Gwiyomi is translated as "sweet". However, this is only half right. The word Gwiyomi ( 귀 요미 ) is composed of a total of two words. The first syllable Gwi ( 귀 ) means " ear" or " spoon ". The subsequent syllable yo ( 요 ) is turned into a kind property, so that Gwiyo ( 귀요 ) then translated either " Someone's ear" or " Someone's spoon " is. The last syllable mi ( 미 ) translates pretty, so that the entire word Gwiyomi literally translated either "ear of beauty" or " spoon of beauty " is. This ambiguity is a subtle allusion to the German word " bunny " because the ears of rabbits in German are called spoon.
