When something is 귀찮다 (gwichanta), it means it's annoying or a hassle. Think of it like when you have to do a chore you don't want to do, like taking out the trash, or when a task is just too much effort. It's often used when you feel lazy or don't want to bother with something.
When we say something or someone is 귀찮다 (gwichanta), it means they are annoying, bothersome, or a nuisance.
It's often used when you find a task irritating or inconvenient to do. For example, if you have to fill out a lot of paperwork, you might say, "숙제가 너무 귀찮아요" (The homework is so annoying).
You can also use it to describe a person who is being bothersome, like "그 친구가 정말 귀찮게 해요" (That friend is really bothersome).
So, 귀찮다 captures that feeling of something being a hassle or a bother.
When something is 귀찮다 (gwichanta), it means it's annoying, bothersome, or a nuisance. This feeling can come from a task that requires effort you don't want to expend, or from a situation that simply grates on your nerves.

Substantive
Verben
So verwendest du es
When something is 귀찮다, it means it's a hassle or an inconvenience. You can use it for tasks you don't want to do or situations that are bothersome. For example, '설거지하기 귀찮아요' (Doing the dishes is annoying/a hassle). It can also describe a person who is being bothersome, like '그 사람 정말 귀찮아요' (That person is really annoying).
A common mistake is confusing 귀찮다 with '짜증나다' (jjajeungnada), which means to be irritated or frustrated. While related, 귀찮다 focuses on the inconvenience or hassle, whereas '짜증나다' focuses on the emotional state of being annoyed. You might feel '짜증나다' because something is '귀찮다', but they are not interchangeable. For instance, '지하철이 너무 붐벼서 짜증나요' (The subway is too crowded, so I'm annoyed/frustrated). Here, the crowding is what's '짜증나다', but the act of taking the crowded subway might also be '귀찮다'.
Tipps
Basic Meaning of 귀찮다
귀찮다 (gwi-chan-ta) means annoying, bothersome, or a nuisance. It describes something that is inconvenient or a hassle.
Conjugating 귀찮다
Like many Korean adjectives, 귀찮다 changes form. The most common polite casual form is 귀찮아요 (gwi-chan-na-yo). The formal polite form is 귀찮습니다 (gwi-chan-seup-ni-da).
Using 귀찮다 with actions
You can use it to say 'it's annoying to do [something]'. You'd use the verb stem + -기 귀찮다. For example, 숙제하기 귀찮아요 (suk-je-ha-gi gwi-chan-na-yo) means 'It's annoying to do homework'.
Expressing personal feeling
You can use 귀찮다 to express your own feeling of being bothered. For instance, 정말 귀찮아! (jeong-mal gwi-chan-na!) means 'It's really annoying!' or 'I'm so bothered!'
Responding to requests
If someone asks you to do something and you find it a hassle, you might say, 음... 좀 귀찮아요 (eum... jom gwi-chan-na-yo), meaning 'Hmm... it's a bit bothersome' (implying you might not want to do it).
Don't confuse with '싫다'
While similar, 귀찮다 is about something being an inconvenience or a hassle, whereas 싫다 (sil-ta) means 'to dislike' or 'to hate'. You might not dislike something, but still find it 귀찮다.
Politeness in usage
Be mindful of using 귀찮다 in very formal situations or with elders, as directly saying something is 'annoying' can sometimes be perceived as impolite. Use more indirect phrasing if needed.
Describing people or things
You can describe a person or thing as 귀찮은 (gwi-chan-neun) + noun, meaning an annoying [noun]. For example, 귀찮은 사람 (gwi-chan-neun sa-ram) means an annoying person.
Using '귀찮게 하다'
The verb form 귀찮게 하다 (gwi-chan-ke ha-da) means 'to bother' or 'to annoy' someone. For example, 저를 귀찮게 하지 마세요 (jeo-reul gwi-chan-ke ha-ji ma-se-yo) means 'Please don't bother me'.
Practice with daily tasks
Think of daily tasks you find inconvenient and try to describe them using 귀찮다. For example, 요리하는 게 귀찮아요 (yo-ri-ha-neun ge gwi-chan-na-yo) means 'Cooking is annoying'.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenThink of it as something that's a '귀찮은 일' (a bothersome task). Practice using it in simple sentences about things you find annoying, like '숙제가 귀찮아요' (Homework is annoying).
Yes, you can. For example, if someone is pestering you, you might think '그 사람이 좀 귀찮아' (That person is a bit annoying). However, be careful as it can be rude, so it's usually better to use it for situations or tasks rather than directly for people in a confrontational way.
Both express annoyance, but '귀찮다' often implies a feeling of being bothered by something that requires effort or is inconvenient. '짜증나다' is more about feeling irritated or frustrated, often due to anger or impatience. Think of '귀찮다' as 'I don't want to do this because it's a hassle' and '짜증나다' as 'This is making me angry/frustrated'.
It's not overly strong, but it clearly conveys a negative feeling. It's similar to saying 'It's a pain' or 'It's a hassle' in English. The strength can vary depending on context and intonation.
To make it more polite, you can use the polite ending '-어요' or '-아요' resulting in '귀찮아요'. You can also add qualifiers like '좀' (a bit) – '좀 귀찮아요' (It's a bit annoying) – to soften it.
'귀찮다' is an adjective, but you can form a noun phrase like '귀찮은 일' (an annoying thing/task) or '귀찮음' (annoyance/bothersomeness). For example, '귀찮음을 느끼다' (to feel annoyance).
A common example is '운동하기 귀찮아요' (Exercising is annoying/I don't feel like exercising). Or '설거지하는 게 귀찮아요' (Washing dishes is annoying).
Yes, '귀찮아 죽겠어요' (I'm so annoyed I could die) is a common exaggerated expression. Another is '귀찮게 하다' (to bother someone/make something annoying).
As an adjective, it conjugates like other adjectives. In the present tense, polite informal: '귀찮아요'. In the past tense: '귀찮았어요'. For future/conjecture: '귀찮을 거예요'. For attributive form: '귀찮은' (annoying, for nouns).
Absolutely! For example, '이렇게 멀리 가는 건 너무 귀찮아' (Going this far is too annoying/a hassle). Or '이 상황이 정말 귀찮다' (This situation is really annoying).

Which of the following best captures the nuanced feeling of '귀찮다' in a situation where one is asked to do something trivial but would prefer not to?

In a social context, if someone says '저는 사람 많은 곳에 가는 게 귀찮아요,' what subtle social implication might be conveyed?
