Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ I went to the hospital because I had a cold.
✅ I went to the clinic because I had a cold.
한국어에서는 병원(hospital)과 의원(clinic)을 구분 없이 "병원"이라고 하지만, 영어에서 "hospital"은 입원 시설이 있는 큰 종합병원을 뜻합니다. 감기 같은 가벼운 증상으로 방문하는 곳은 "clinic" 또는 "doctor's office"라고 해야 자연스럽습니다. "I went to the hospital"이라고 하면 원어민은 심각한 응급 상황을 떠올립니다.
