딱 걷기에 좋은 날씨 - Perfect walking weather

During my lunchtime walk today, I learned the expression "딱 걷기에 좋은 날씨".
Which means "Perfect Walking Weather"

At first I was quite confused as I misheard 딱 걷기 as 닭고기 (Chicken) Good weather 
- Oh how they laughed (at my expense (not really - just a bit)) 

But it seemed logical to me as on the first and last day of summer Korean people eat Chicken soup Samgyetang (See picture) so it kind of made sense that on a day like today "오늘은 날씨가 엄청 좋다!" ("Today the weather is really Good") that chicken would be involved somewhere...


So I got the expression explained and broken down for me...

Vocabulary

딱 = Perfect 걷기에 = Walking 좋은 = Good 날씨 = Weather

So "딱" - is a really useful word which can kind of be translated to 'perfectly'/'Properly'/'Suitably'


So I was advised to add this to the beginning other sentences/expressions

"딱 좋아!" = Perfectly Good!

And So on... which is 딱 좋아!
