What does 썼어요 mean?
썼어요 means "wrote it down" in Korean.
How it works here
‘쓰다’ (to write) combines with ‘-었어요’ to become ‘썼어요.’ Here, it means that the speaker wrote “vanilla latte” as the answer.
Dictionary form
쓰다
To write letters or content somewhere, such as on paper
‘쓰다’ (to write) ends in the vowel ‘ㅡ’, so ‘ㅡ’ drops when it is followed by ‘-어’ (쓰+어 → 써, 썼어요). The homonymous ‘쓰다’ also has meanings such as ‘to use’ and ‘to taste bitter,’ but here it means writing down an answer.
When it's used
Used when writing something down, such as an answer, note, or name. It is also commonly used when writing an answer in a quiz or game.
