What 쌉가능 means

Korean slang for “totally possible” or “I can easily do that.” Used to say a confident yes to a request or plan.

Structure

The intensifier ssap- (roughly “totally”) plus 가능 (possible). The same ssap- shows up in 쌉인정, 쌉고수 and 쌉소리 (Gukje News).

Origin

Ssap- is said to come from a vulgar intensifier (Bravo My Life), but its exact etymology is unconfirmed.

Careful

Fine with friends and family; in a report or meeting, “충분히 가능합니다” (that's entirely possible) is safer.
