Difference between 머무르다 and 묵다?
I'm trying to figure out how to say "to stay" in Korean. In the dictionary I'm using, both of these verbs come up. Is there any difference in meaning, or is one used more than the other?
If I wanted to say "Stay there," (as in "Stay there while I get something") would I write, "머무르세요" or "묵으세요"?
감삽니다!

Answer

It looks like 묵다 refers to staying at a hotel or lodge while 머무르다 means to stay put or remain.
