CHAPTER 6 Flashcards
to have
가지다 — 갖다
[ 가지다 ]
- would translate as to have
- literally means “to carry” or “to hold something”
- it may translate as “to have” but it’s completely different with 있다
- used with 을/를
- noun(을/를) + 가지다
- it’s specifying that you have something currently with you right now
- used with progressive tense 고 있다 (가지고 있다)
- 저는 돈을 가져요
- it means you currently have money on you right now
- literally translate to im holding/carrying money right now
- translate to i have money
[ 갖다 ]
- just shortened version of 가지다 both have the exact same meaning
- slightly less formal than 가지다
- 갖고 있어요
to be absent
결석하다
to stick
to attach
to post
to label
붙이다
to use
사용하다
- I will make metaphor on this.
- 사용하다 / 이용하다 comes from Chinese origin, like Latin origin in English. they are a little bit “decent” way of talking.
- 쓰다 is Korean traditional word. So you can now guess the differences. 쓰다 is more common word in our daily life than 사용하다 / 이용하다
- 사용하다/이용하다 used in more formal way of talking than 쓰다. We can say “대중교통을 사용하다/이용하다” which means “to use public transportation”, but we can’t say 대중교통을 쓰다” which sounds odd.
- As the difference btwn 사용하다/이용하다, 이용하다 has also a meaning of “take advantage of someone/something”. You can say 친구를 이용하여 이익을 챙기다/make some profit by taking advantage of a friend,
but you can’t say 친구를 사용하여 이익을 챙기다 ; Your friend is not a tool or something to be utilized.
- You can easily imagine this kind of word relationships by thinking of the difference like between “manufacture”(from Latin) and “make”(from Old English).. Eastern and Western language have common sense like this kind of usages.. :)

to act
to postpone / delay
연기하다
— to postpone / delay
미루다 is pure Korean word and 연기하다 is from Chinese word.(延期+하다)
They both mean to postpone, but 미루다 is informal and 연기하다 is formal. So when you use 미루다, the objective can be almost everything you decide to cope with later. On the other hand, 연기하다 is generally about some sort of official events or schedules.

free
무료
무료 free charge(formal word)
공짜(casual word. It seems to additional service for me)
ex. 책을 구매하시면, 사은품을 무료로 드립니다.
핸드폰을 구매하시면, 핸드폰 케이스가 무료입니다.
나 이거 공짜로 받았다~~
얘들아, 오늘 떡볶이 공짜래!!!!!
공짜 is casual word, so it would not be written in official notice or information
