Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ "Hot" is the opposite meaning of "cold."
✅ "Hot" is the opposite of "cold."

한국어에서는 "반대되는 의미"라고 표현하기 때문에 영어로도 "opposite meaning"이라고 직역하는 경우가 많습니다. 하지만 영어에서는 간단히 "the opposite of"라고 표현하는 것이 자연스럽습니다. "Opposite meaning of"는 어색한 표현이므로, "the opposite of" 또는 "the antonym of"를 사용하세요.

Discussion

Discuss with your teacher.
선생님과 토론해 보세요.

  1. Do you think learning antonym pairs (like "happy/sad" or "old/new") is a good way to build vocabulary? Why or why not?
    반의어 쌍(예: "happy/sad", "old/new")을 배우는 것이 어휘력을 키우는 좋은 방법이라고 생각하나요? 왜 그런가요?
  2. Some words don't have a clear opposite. Can you think of a word that has no antonym?
    어떤 단어들은 명확한 반의어가 없습니다. 반의어가 없는 단어를 떠올릴 수 있나요?
  3. The antonym of "liquid" is "solid." Can you describe something that can be both a liquid and a solid, like water and ice?
    "liquid"의 반의어는 "solid"입니다. 물과 얼음처럼 액체도 되고 고체도 되는 것을 설명해 볼 수 있나요?
