Cultural Context
'테라스' is a direct loanword from English and refers to an open, often paved, outdoor area connected to a house or apartment, similar to its Western meaning. It's considered a desirable feature, especially in ground-floor apartments, penthouses, or cafes, offering a private outdoor space for relaxation, gardening, or dining. Unlike '베란다' (veranda/balcony), which in Korea is often enclosed or semi-enclosed and extends from an upper floor, a '테라스' is typically open and on the ground level or a large, open rooftop area.
