Wird oft verwechselt mit
This is a noun meaning 'self' or 'confidence.' It's the root of '자신감' (self-confidence) and '자신하다' (to be confident).
This is a verb meaning 'to exist,' 'to have,' or 'to be located.' It's often used with nouns to form descriptive phrases, like '자신감 있다' (to have confidence/to be confident).
This is a suffix that often denotes a feeling or sensation, as seen in '자신감' (confidence, literally 'self-feeling').
Leicht verwechselbar
'자신하다' is a verb meaning 'to be confident in something' or 'to have confidence in oneself,' which is very close in meaning to '자신감 있다.' The confusion arises because both express confidence.
While both relate to confidence, '자신감 있다' (adjective) describes a state of having confidence, whereas '자신하다' (verb) describes the action of being confident in a specific situation or ability. '자신감 있다' is more general, like saying 'he is a confident person,' while '자신하다' is more about 'he is confident in his ability to do X.'
나는 이 시험에 통과할 수 있다고 자신합니다. (I am confident that I can pass this exam.)
This phrase also means 'to be full of confidence' or 'to overflow with confidence,' making it semantically very similar to '자신감 있다.' Learners might wonder if there's a significant difference.
'자신감이 넘치다' implies a higher degree or an abundance of confidence, often to the point of being outwardly apparent. '자신감 있다' is a more neutral statement of having confidence. Think of it as 'confident' vs. 'overly confident' or 'radiating confidence.'
그녀는 무대에 오를 때 항상 자신감이 넘쳐요. (She always overflows with confidence when she goes on stage.)
'당당하다' means 'to be confident, dignified, or proud.' This word shares the nuance of confidence, especially in one's demeanor, which can lead to confusion.
While '당당하다' can include a sense of confidence, it more strongly emphasizes being upright, dignified, and not feeling ashamed or intimidated. '자신감 있다' is purely about internal self-assurance. Someone can be '자신감 있다' without necessarily being '당당하다' in their outward expression, and vice versa.
그는 자신의 의견을 당당하게 말했습니다. (He spoke his opinion confidently/proudly.)
'확신하다' means 'to be sure' or 'to be convinced.' This word shares the idea of certainty, which is a component of confidence.
'확신하다' is about being certain of a fact, an outcome, or a belief. It's an intellectual certainty. '자신감 있다' is about self-assurance regarding one's own abilities or prospects. You can '확신하다' that it will rain tomorrow, but you wouldn't say you are '자신감 있다' about it raining.
저는 그가 거짓말을 하고 있다는 것을 확신합니다. (I am sure that he is lying.)
'용감하다' means 'to be brave' or 'courageous.' While brave people are often confident, the core meaning is different, leading to potential mistranslation or misuse.
'용감하다' refers to facing fear or danger without hesitation. '자신감 있다' is about having belief in oneself. Someone can be '자신감 있다' but not necessarily '용감하다' in a dangerous situation, and a '용감하다' person might not always feel '자신감 있다' about their personal abilities.
그 소방관은 용감하게 불 속으로 뛰어들었습니다. (The firefighter bravely jumped into the fire.)
