추워지다
It means the weather or temperature is becoming cold.
Erklärung auf deinem Niveau:
You use this when it gets cold. If you are outside and need a coat, you can say '날씨가 추워져요' (It is getting cold). It is a very useful word for talking about the weather.
When the seasons change, you use 추워지다. For example, when summer ends and autumn comes, the weather starts to get cold. Use it to tell your friends to wear a jacket.
This verb is essential for describing meteorological changes. It is often used in the past tense, 추워졌어요, to note that the temperature has dropped since earlier in the day or week.
Beyond just weather, you can use this to describe a shift in atmosphere. If a room suddenly becomes tense or cold, you might use it metaphorically to describe the social climate.
In formal writing or news reports, 추워지다 is used to signal the arrival of a cold front. It captures the nuance of a gradual shift towards winter, often paired with adverbs like 점차 (gradually).
Mastery of this word involves understanding its role in the Korean perception of the four seasons. It is deeply embedded in literary descriptions of nature, where the 'becoming' of cold is a harbinger of hardship or introspection.

- Means 'to become cold'.
- Used mainly for weather.
- Follows the ㅂ-irregular rule.
- Essential for daily conversation.
The Korean verb 추워지다 is a combination of the adjective 춥다 (to be cold) and the auxiliary verb -어지다, which indicates a change in state. Think of it as the process of 'becoming'.
When you use 추워지다, you are highlighting the process of the temperature dropping. It is a very common word used in daily life, especially when talking about the weather forecast or how you feel as the sun goes down.
The root 춥- has been part of the Korean language for centuries, evolving from older forms like 츱다. The suffix -어지다 is a grammatical powerhouse in Korean, used to turn static adjectives into verbs of change.
Historically, as Koreans lived through harsh winters, the ability to describe the onset of cold was vital for survival. This word reflects that cultural necessity to track the shifting seasons.
You will mostly use this with weather-related nouns like 날씨 (weather) or 바람 (wind). It is neutral in register, meaning you can use it with friends, family, or even in semi-formal workplace settings.
Common collocations include 날씨가 추워지다 (the weather is getting cold) or 갑자기 추워지다 (it suddenly got cold). Always remember that it describes a change, not a static state.
1. 추워지기 시작하다: To start getting cold (the beginning of the season). 2. 날씨가 확 추워지다: The weather turned cold abruptly. 3. 몸이 추워지다: To feel a chill in one's body (often before getting sick). 4. 마음이 추워지다: A metaphorical way to say one feels lonely or sad. 5. 겨울이 오며 추워지다: Getting cold as winter arrives.
The verb follows the standard -아/어지다 pattern. Because 춥다 ends in a ㅂ irregular, the ㅂ changes to 우 before adding 어지다, resulting in 추워지다.
Pronunciation tip: The 우 and 어 blend smoothly. It sounds like 'chu-wo-ji-da'. Focus on the transition from the rounded u to the open eo sound.
