When to use to wrap around in Korean

When to use it

두르다 means to put something around a body part or an object, like a scarf, towel, blanket, or bandage. It is used when something goes around the outside, not just on top. In daily life, people often use it for scarves around the neck, blankets around the shoulders, or bandages around an arm.
