Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

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

❌ We must keep the information confidentiality.
✅ We must keep the information confidential.

"confidentiality"는 명사이고, "confidential"은 형용사입니다. "keep + 목적어 + 형용사" 구문에서는 형용사인 confidential을 써야 합니다. 한국어에서는 '기밀성'과 '기밀의'가 비슷하게 느껴지기 때문에 혼동하기 쉽습니다. 예: "keep it confidential" (○), "maintain confidentiality" (○ — 이 경우 명사로 사용).
