안건
안건 in 30 Sekunden
- 안건 means 'agenda item' and is used in formal meetings to denote specific topics for discussion.
- It is derived from Hanja roots meaning 'matter on the table' or 'case for a plan'.
- Commonly paired with verbs like '상정하다' (to table) and '논의하다' (to discuss).
- It is essential for business, legal, and community settings where structured decisions are made.
The Korean word 안건 (An-geon) is a cornerstone of professional and formal communication in South Korea. At its most basic level, it refers to an agenda item or a specific topic slated for discussion during a formal gathering, such as a meeting, a conference, or a legislative session. While English speakers might use the word 'topic' or 'matter' loosely, 안건 implies a level of structure and formality. It suggests that the item has been officially proposed and is now 'on the table' for deliberation, decision-making, or voting.
- Etymological Root
- The word is derived from Hanja: 案 (안), meaning 'plan' or 'table,' and 件 (건), meaning 'matter' or 'case.' Together, they literally signify a 'matter on the table.'
In a Korean corporate environment, you will encounter this word daily. When a manager says, "오늘의 안건은 무엇입니까?" (What are today's agenda items?), they are asking for the specific points listed in the meeting's itinerary. It is distinct from a general 'conversation' (대화) or 'subject' (주제) because an 안건 usually requires a resolution or a conclusion. It is the formal unit of business discussion.
회의실에 들어가기 전에 오늘 논의할 안건을 미리 확인하세요. (Please check the agenda items to be discussed today before entering the meeting room.)
Beyond the office, 안건 is used in civic contexts. If a neighborhood association meets to discuss building a new park, the park construction becomes the primary 안건. In the National Assembly (국회), bills and proposals are referred to as 안건. This word carries the weight of officiality; you wouldn't typically use it when deciding what to eat for dinner with a friend, as that is too informal. Instead, you use it when the discussion has a goal, a record, or a formal setting.
- Scope of Use
- Includes corporate meetings, government legislation, academic board reviews, and formal community debates.
Understanding 안건 also involves understanding the verbs that accompany it. You don't just 'have' an agenda item; you 'submit' it (제출하다), 'propose' it (제안하다/상정하다), 'discuss' it (논의하다), or 'pass' it (통과시키다). This lexical ecosystem makes the word highly versatile in administrative and executive contexts. For a learner, mastering this word is a sign of moving from conversational Korean to professional proficiency.
이번 이사회에서는 세 가지 주요 안건이 다뤄질 예정입니다. (Three major agenda items are scheduled to be handled in this board meeting.)
Using 안건 correctly requires paying attention to the particles and verbs that define its role in a sentence. Since it is a noun, it often acts as the object of a discussion. Let's look at the most common grammatical structures and thematic applications.
- Pattern: [Noun] + 안건
- You can specify the type of agenda by prefixing it with another noun. For example, '예산 안건' (budget agenda item) or '인사 안건' (personnel/HR agenda item).
When you want to say 'The first item on the agenda,' you use the counter '번째' or the prefix '제-'. For instance, '첫 번째 안건' or '제1호 안건'. This is essential for keeping track of meeting flow. If you are the chairperson, you might say, "첫 번째 안건으로 넘어가겠습니다" (We will move on to the first agenda item).
다음 안건은 복지 시설 확충에 관한 것입니다. (The next agenda item is regarding the expansion of welfare facilities.)
In more complex sentences, 안건 often interacts with verbs of movement or state. To 'put an item on the agenda' is '안건을 상정하다'. This verb '상정' (table/propose) is specifically used in formal contexts like parliament or board meetings. If an item is 'pending,' you might say it is '보류된 안건' (a deferred agenda item). If it is 'resolved,' it is '의결된 안건'.
Consider the difference between these two sentences: 1) "우리는 그 주제에 대해 이야기했어요" (We talked about that topic). 2) "우리는 그 안건을 심의했어요" (We deliberated on that agenda item). The second sentence implies a rigorous, official process of evaluation. This distinction is vital for anyone working in a Korean office or studying for the TOPIK II exam.
- Common Verb Pairings
- - 안건을 제출하다 (Submit an item)
- 안건을 채택하다 (Adopt an item)
- 안건을 부결하다 (Reject an item)
- 안건을 수정하다 (Amend an item)
반대 의견이 많아서 해당 안건은 결국 부결되었습니다. (Due to many opposing opinions, the agenda item in question was eventually rejected.)
If you step into any South Korean office building between 9 AM and 6 PM, you are likely to hear 안건. It is the language of the 'Hoewi' (회의 - meeting). Whether it's a small startup or a massive conglomerate like Samsung, the structure of corporate life revolves around these items. You'll hear it in the elevator: "오늘 회의 안건 진짜 많더라" (There were so many agenda items in today's meeting, right?).
The word is also ubiquitous in news broadcasts. When the Korean news reports on the 'Guk-hoe' (National Assembly), the anchor will often say things like "정부는 오늘 국무회의에서 여러 민생 안건을 처리했습니다" (The government processed several livelihood-related agenda items at today's cabinet meeting). In this context, the word takes on a legal and political weight, representing the actual work of governance.
뉴스 속보: 국회는 오늘 오후 본회의를 열고 민생 법안 등 50여 개의 안건을 처리할 예정입니다. (Breaking News: The National Assembly is scheduled to hold a plenary session this afternoon and process about 50 agenda items, including livelihood bills.)
In educational settings, you'll hear it during faculty meetings or student council gatherings. If a student wants to propose a new club, they might ask, "이 내용을 다음 학생회 회의 안건으로 올릴 수 있을까요?" (Could we put this content on the next student council meeting agenda?). It shows that the student understands the formal procedure of the organization.
Interestingly, you might even hear it in apartment complex announcements. In Korea, many people live in large apartment complexes (아파트 단지) managed by a residents' committee. The intercom might announce, "이번 달 주민 대표 회의 안건은 주차장 보수 공사입니다" (The agenda item for this month's residents' representative meeting is parking lot repair work). This illustrates how the word bridges the gap between high-level politics and everyday community management.
- Media Usage
- - Business News: 'Quarterly agenda items'
- Courtroom Dramas: 'Evidence as an agenda item for review'
- Variety Shows: Occasionally used jokingly to make a trivial topic sound very serious (e.g., 'Today's serious agenda: Who ate the last snack?').
아파트 관리사무소: 주민 여러분, 오늘 저녁 8시에 단지 내 소음 방지 안건으로 회의가 있습니다. (Apartment Management Office: Residents, there will be a meeting tonight at 8 PM regarding the agenda item of noise prevention in the complex.)
The most common mistake learners make is confusing 안건 with its synonyms like 주제 (topic), 일정 (schedule), or 내용 (content). While they overlap in meaning, their usage is quite specific. Using '안건' when you should use '주제' can make you sound overly stiff, while using '주제' in a board meeting might make you sound unprofessional.
- 안건 vs. 주제
- 주제 is the general subject of a conversation or a book. 안건 is a specific item for formal discussion that usually requires a decision. You talk about the '주제' of a movie, but you vote on an '안건' in a meeting.
Another error is grammatical. Learners often forget that 안건 is a noun and try to use it as a verb. You cannot say "안건해요" (to agenda). You must pair it with a verb like '논의하다' (to discuss) or '상정하다' (to table). Also, be careful with the particle '에'. While you can say "그 안건에 대해" (about that agenda item), in formal settings, the object marker '을/를' is more common when the item is being directly acted upon by the committee.
Incorrect: 오늘 회의 일정은 무엇입니까? (When asking for the topics)
Correct: 오늘 회의 안건은 무엇입니까?
A subtle mistake involves the word 의제 (Agenda). In English, 'agenda' can mean the whole list or a single item. In Korean, 안건 is usually a single item on the list, whereas 의제 (ui-je) or 의사일정 (ui-sa-il-jeong) refers to the entire list of items or the broader agenda of a summit. Confusing these can lead to misunderstandings about the scope of the meeting.
Finally, watch out for pronunciation. The 'ㄴ' in '안' and the 'ㄱ' in '건' are distinct. Sometimes learners swallow the 'ㄴ', making it sound like '악건'. Clear articulation is key in the formal environments where this word is typically used.
- Commonly Confused Terms
- - 안건 (Item) vs. 안 (Plan/Proposal)
- 안건 (Item) vs. 건 (Case - used more in legal/filing contexts)
- 안건 (Item) vs. 일 (Work/Task)
회의록에 기록할 때 안건별로 정리하는 것이 중요합니다. (It is important to organize by agenda item when recording the minutes.)
To truly master the vocabulary of Korean meetings, you need to know the alternatives to 안건. Depending on the level of formality and the specific nature of the discussion, other words might be more appropriate.
- 의제 (Agenda / Formal Topic)
- While '안건' is an item, '의제' is often used for broader programmatic topics, especially in international diplomacy or high-level government policy. Example: "기후 변화가 이번 정상 회담의 주요 의제입니다." (Climate change is the main agenda of this summit.)
- 논제 (Topic of Debate)
- Specifically used for something being debated or argued. If the '안건' is controversial, it becomes a '논제'. It is common in academic settings or debate clubs.
- 사항 (Matter / Detail)
- Used when referring to specific points or details. '논의 사항' (matters for discussion) is a common alternative to '안건' when the items are less formal.
In very casual settings, you can simply use 이야기 (story/talk) or 할 일 (work to do). For example, "우리 오늘 무슨 이야기할 거야?" (What are we going to talk about today?) instead of "오늘의 안건은 무엇입니까?". Using '안건' with friends would sound like you are pretending to be in a business meeting for comedic effect.
보고서에는 논의된 안건 대신 '결정 사항'이라는 표현을 쓰기도 합니다. (In reports, the expression 'decided matters' is sometimes used instead of 'discussed agenda items'.)
Another word often paired with this is 제안 (Proposal). An '안건' often starts as a '제안'. Once the proposal is accepted for discussion, it becomes an '안건'. In legal contexts, you might also see 법안 (Bill), which is a specific '안건' related to new laws.

How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
The character 案 (안) also means 'desk' in ancient Chinese. So an '안건' is literally something you put on the meeting table to look at together.
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing 'geon' like 'john'. It should be a hard 'g' sound.
- Aspirating the 'k' sound too much. It's a plain 'g/k' sound.
- Swallowing the 'n' in 'an', making it sound like 'a-geon'.
Schwierigkeitsgrad
Easy to recognize in formal texts once the Hanja is known.
Requires knowledge of formal verb pairings like '상정하다'.
Pronunciation is straightforward, but usage is limited to formal settings.
Common in news and office dramas.

Summary
The word 안건 is the professional way to refer to a specific point of discussion in a meeting. Unlike the general word '주제' (topic), '안건' implies that the matter is official and usually requires a formal decision or resolution. Example: '첫 번째 안건을 처리합시다' (Let's process the first agenda item).
- 안건 means 'agenda item' and is used in formal meetings to denote specific topics for discussion.
- It is derived from Hanja roots meaning 'matter on the table' or 'case for a plan'.
- Commonly paired with verbs like '상정하다' (to table) and '논의하다' (to discuss).
- It is essential for business, legal, and community settings where structured decisions are made.
Leading a Meeting
When you lead a meeting, start by saying '오늘의 안건을 말씀드리겠습니다' (I will tell you today's agenda items). This establishes authority and clarity.
Hanja Power
Knowing that '건' (件) means 'matter' helps you understand words like '사건' (incident) and '조건' (condition).
News Watching
Watch Korean political news. You will hear '안건' every time they talk about the National Assembly (국회).
Formal Reports
In a business report, list your topics under the heading '안건' to look like a pro.
