회의

hoeu-i
At the A1 level, you should recognize 회의 as a basic noun meaning 'meeting.' You will mostly use it with the verb '있다' (to have/there is) or '하다' (to do). You might see it on a schedule or hear a teacher say it. The focus is on simple existence: '회의가 있어요' (I have a meeting). You don't need to worry about complex types of meetings yet, just that it's a place where people talk for work or school. It's a 'thing' you go to. You should be able to say '회의실' (meeting room) to ask where a meeting is. This level is about survival vocabulary in an office or classroom setting.
At the A2 level, you can start using 회의 in more descriptive sentences. You can specify the time ('두 시에 회의가 있어요') and the location ('3층 회의실에서 회의를 해요'). You begin to use particles more accurately, like '회의에' (to/at the meeting). You can also use basic adjectives like '긴 회의' (long meeting) or '중요한 회의' (important meeting). You should be able to understand simple office announcements regarding meeting changes. You might also start using '회의 중' to explain why someone is busy. This level moves from just knowing the word to using it in basic daily work routines.
At the B1 level, you can discuss the purpose and results of a 회의. You use words like '안건' (agenda), '결과' (result), and '참석자' (participant). You can describe what happened: '회의에서 새로운 계획을 세웠어요' (We made a new plan at the meeting). You are comfortable with various verb forms like '회의를 준비하다' (to prepare a meeting) or '회의를 연기하다' (to postpone a meeting). You can also distinguish between '회의' and '미팅' based on the context of formality. You can participate in a meeting and understand the main points being discussed, even if you can't catch every technical detail.
At the B2 level, you understand the nuances of 회의 in professional environments. You can use formal verbs like '주재하다' (to preside) or '소집하다' (to convene). You can write 회의록 (meeting minutes) and summarize the discussion points accurately. You understand the difference between a '정기 회의' (regular meeting) and an '임시 회의' (extraordinary meeting). You can also handle the homonym '회의 (skepticism)' and understand it through context, such as '그 계획에 대해 회의적이다' (I am skeptical about that plan). Your vocabulary expands to include '의결' (resolution) and '공표' (announcement).
At the C1 level, you can follow and contribute to complex 회의 involving abstract concepts, legal terms, or high-stakes negotiations. You understand the cultural etiquette of Korean meetings, such as the 'nunchi' (reading the room) required during sensitive discussions. You can use idiomatic expressions related to meetings and understand the subtle power dynamics reflected in the language used. You can analyze the effectiveness of a meeting and suggest improvements in formal Korean. You are also proficient in using the 'skepticism' meaning of 회의 in philosophical or academic debates without confusion.
At the C2 level, you have native-like command over the term 회의 and its vast array of specialized applications. Whether it's a '국무회의' (Cabinet meeting) or a '범국가적 회의' (pan-national conference), you understand the historical and legal implications. You can lead high-level meetings in Korean, navigating complex honorifics and rhetorical strategies to build consensus or manage conflict. You can appreciate the nuances of 회의 in literature and high-level journalism, where it might be used metaphorically. Your understanding of the homonym 회의 (skepticism) is deep, encompassing existentialist philosophy and critical theory.

회의 في 30 ثانية

  • 회의 means 'meeting' or 'conference' in Korean, derived from Hanja meaning 'gather' and 'discuss'.
  • It is a formal term used primarily in professional, academic, and governmental contexts.
  • Commonly paired with verbs like '하다' (to do), '참석하다' (to attend), and '주재하다' (to preside).
  • It is distinct from the casual loanword '미팅' and has a homonym meaning 'skepticism'.

The Korean word 회의 (會議) is a fundamental noun that translates to 'meeting,' 'conference,' or 'council.' At its core, it describes a formal gathering where people assemble to discuss specific topics, share information, or make collective decisions. The word is composed of two Hanja characters: 會 (모일 회), meaning 'to gather' or 'to meet,' and 議 (의논할 의), meaning 'to discuss' or 'to deliberate.' This etymological root perfectly encapsulates the essence of the word: gathering for the purpose of discussion. Unlike the more casual '미팅' (meeting), which is often used for social dates or quick work huddles, 회의 carries a more structured and official connotation. It is the standard term used in business, government, and academic settings to denote a scheduled session with an agenda.

Business Context
In a corporate environment, this refers to board meetings, team syncs, or strategy sessions.
Academic Context
Refers to faculty meetings or symposiums where research is presented.
Political Context
Used for parliamentary sessions or international summits.

내일 오전 10시에 중요한 회의가 있습니다. (There is an important meeting tomorrow at 10 AM.)

Understanding the scope of 회의 requires looking at how it functions in daily life. It is not just the act of talking; it is the institutionalized process of communication. Whether it is a small group of three people in a huddle room or a thousand delegates at a global summit, the term remains applicable. In modern Korean society, where hierarchy and consensus are valued, the 회의 serves as a critical platform for aligning goals and confirming the hierarchy of decision-making. It is often paired with verbs like '하다' (to do/have), '열다' (to open/hold), and '참석하다' (to attend).

회의록을 작성해 주세요. (Please write the meeting minutes.)

Furthermore, the word can be modified to specify the type of meeting. For instance, '화상 회의' (video conference) has become ubiquitous in the post-pandemic era. '긴급 회의' (emergency meeting) suggests a high-stakes situation requiring immediate attention. The versatility of the word allows it to scale from the mundane to the monumental. It is also important to distinguish it from its homonym 회의 (懷疑), which means 'skepticism' or 'doubt.' While spelled the same in Hangul, the context usually makes the meaning clear; one is something you 'attend,' and the other is something you 'feel.'

이번 회의의 안건은 무엇입니까? (What is the agenda for this meeting?)

Formal Usage
Used in news reports and official documents.
Common Usage
Used by office workers daily (e.g., '회의 중' - in a meeting).

부장님께서 회의를 주재하고 계십니다. (The department manager is presiding over the meeting.)

In summary, 회의 is the backbone of professional interaction in Korea. It represents the structured exchange of ideas and the formalization of group intent. Mastering this word and its associated collocations is essential for anyone looking to navigate a Korean-speaking professional or academic environment. It signifies not just a conversation, but a commitment to a shared objective through organized dialogue.

회의가 생각보다 길어졌어요. (The meeting lasted longer than expected.)

Using 회의 correctly involves understanding its grammatical role as a noun and the specific verbs it frequently pairs with. The most common construction is 회의를 하다 (to have/do a meeting). This is the go-to phrase for general situations. If you are the person organizing or leading the meeting, you might use 회의를 소집하다 (to convene/call a meeting) or 회의를 주재하다 (to preside over a meeting). For participants, 회의에 참석하다 (to attend a meeting) is the standard formal expression. In more casual office talk, you might hear 회의 들어가다 (to go into a meeting), which implies the physical or metaphorical act of entering the meeting space.

Subject/Object Particles
회의가 (Subject), 회의를 (Object), 회의에서 (At the meeting).
Time Expressions
회의 전 (Before the meeting), 회의 후 (After the meeting), 회의 중 (During the meeting).

지금 회의 중이라서 전화를 받을 수 없습니다. (I am in a meeting right now, so I cannot answer the phone.)

When describing the nature of the meeting, adjectives come into play. A 'productive' meeting is 생산적인 회의, while a 'boring' one is 지루한 회의. If a meeting is cancelled, you use 회의가 취소되다. If it is postponed, 회의가 연기되다. These passive forms are crucial for administrative communication. Furthermore, the location of the meeting is typically the 회의실 (meeting room/conference room). In a sentence, you would say '회의실에서 만나요' (Let's meet in the conference room).

Advanced users should be aware of how 회의 interacts with honorifics. When speaking to a superior about a meeting they are attending, you might use the honorific particle 께서 and the verb 참석하시다. For example, '사장님께서 회의에 참석하십니다' (The CEO is attending the meeting). Conversely, when reporting your own attendance to a superior, you use humble forms if applicable, though 회의 itself remains neutral. The word also appears in compound nouns like 회의록 (minutes), 회의비 (meeting expenses), and 회의장 (venue).

You will encounter 회의 in almost every professional or formal setting in Korea. In an office, it is the most frequently used word to describe the daily schedule. You'll hear it over the intercom, see it on shared digital calendars, and hear it in the hallways. '오늘 회의 몇 시예요?' (What time is the meeting today?) is a staple phrase. In Korean dramas (K-Dramas), particularly those set in corporate environments like 'Misaeng' or 'Search: WWW,' the 회의실 is often the stage for high-drama confrontations and strategic breakthroughs.

뉴스 리포터: '오늘 국회에서는 예산안 처리를 위한 회의가 열렸습니다.' (News Reporter: 'A meeting was held in the National Assembly today to process the budget bill.')

In the news, 회의 is used to describe diplomatic summits (정상회의), local council meetings, and economic forums. It carries a weight of authority. In university settings, students use it for group projects (조별 회의), though they might also use the loanword '미팅' for less formal study sessions. At international airports or hotels, you will see signs for 'Conference Hall' translated as 회의장 or 대회의실. Even in community centers, residents gather for 반상회 (neighborhood meetings), a specific type of local 회의.

One of the most common mistakes for learners is confusing 회의 (meeting) with 미팅 (social meeting/blind date). While '미팅' is used in business for 'client meetings,' using it to describe an internal formal board meeting might sound too casual or slightly off. Another mistake is the pronunciation of the vowel '의'. In '회의,' the second '의' is often pronounced as '이' [회의 -> 회이] in standard speech, but beginners often struggle to make it sound natural. Pronouncing it too strictly as 'ui' can sound overly robotic.

Homonym Confusion
Don't confuse 회의 (會議 - meeting) with 회의 (懷疑 - doubt/skepticism). '회의를 느끼다' means 'to feel skeptical,' not 'to feel a meeting.'
Particle Error
Avoid saying '회의를 있다'. Use '회의가 있다' (to have a meeting) or '회의를 하다' (to do a meeting).

Another error involves the verb choice for 'joining' a meeting. While 'join' works in English, in Korean, 회의에 가입하다 (to join a club/membership) is incorrect. You must use 참석하다 (attend) or 참여하다 (participate). Additionally, learners often forget that 회의 is a formal noun. Using it in a very casual context, like meeting a friend for coffee, is incorrect; for that, use '만남' or '약속'.

Several words share a semantic space with 회의. 미팅 (Meeting) is the most common synonym, but it is narrower, often referring to sales meetings or social dates. 간담회 (懇談會) refers to an informal talk or a 'fireside chat' where people exchange opinions more freely than in a rigid 회의. 협의 (協議) means 'consultation' or 'negotiation,' focusing on the act of reaching an agreement rather than just the gathering itself.

집회 (Assembly)
A larger, often political or public gathering (e.g., a rally).
회담 (Talks/Colloquy)
Usually used for high-level political discussions between leaders (e.g., '남북 회담').
세미나 (Seminar)
An educational or research-focused meeting.

토론 (Discussion/Debate) is another related term, but it emphasizes the argumentative aspect of talking. 강연 (Lecture) is one-way communication, whereas 회의 is multi-directional. Understanding these nuances helps in choosing the right word for the right level of formality and purpose. For example, if you are just chatting with colleagues to get ideas, 브레인스토밍 (brainstorming) or 아이디어 회의 is more specific than just 회의.
