Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

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

❌ The fixed cost is expensive this month.
✅ The fixed costs are high this month.

한국어에서는 비용이 '비싸다'라고 표현하지만, 영어에서 cost(비용)는 'expensive'가 아니라 'high' 또는 'low'로 표현합니다. 'Expensive'는 물건이나 서비스의 가격이 비쌀 때 사용하고, cost는 숫자 개념이므로 high/low를 씁니다. 또한 fixed cost는 복수형 fixed costs로 쓰는 것이 일반적입니다.
