분해하다
분해하다 in 30 Sekunden
- To take apart physical objects like machines or furniture into their individual components systematically.
- To describe the chemical or biological process of decomposition, such as food or plastic breaking down.
- A transitive verb that uses the object marker '-을/를' and has a passive counterpart '분해되다'.
- Commonly used in repair, science, and environmental contexts to signify a logical separation of parts.
The Korean verb 분해하다 (bunhaehada) is a versatile and essential term used to describe the act of breaking something down into its constituent parts. Derived from the Hanja 分 (divide) and 解 (loosen/untie), it literally means to divide and loosen a whole. This word is most commonly encountered in two primary contexts: mechanical disassembly and chemical/biological decomposition. When you take apart a laptop to fix a fan, or when a scientist explains how enzymes break down food in the stomach, 분해하다 is the precise verb required. It implies a systematic process of separation rather than a destructive act of breaking.
- Mechanical Disassembly
- This refers to the physical act of taking a machine, device, or structure apart. It is a controlled process, often done for repair, inspection, or cleaning. For example, a mechanic disassembles an engine to find a fault.
시계를 수리하기 위해 부품을 하나하나 분해하다.
- Chemical/Biological Decomposition
- In science, this word describes how substances are broken down into simpler elements. This could be plastic decomposing in the ocean over hundreds of years or the human body breaking down carbohydrates into glucose.
미생물은 유기물을 분해하여 흙으로 돌려보냅니다.
Beyond these physical uses, 분해하다 can also appear in abstract contexts, such as analyzing a complex theory by breaking it down into smaller, understandable points. However, in these cases, it often overlaps with 분석하다 (to analyze). In modern South Korean society, you will hear this word frequently in discussions about environmental sustainability, specifically regarding 'biodegradable' materials (생분해성). It is a key term for anyone interested in technology, science, or DIY repairs. Understanding this word allows you to navigate technical manuals, scientific documentaries, and environmental news with greater ease.
- Logical Decomposition
- Breaking down a complex mathematical problem or a logical argument into its basic premises to understand the underlying structure better.
이 복잡한 방정식을 여러 단계로 분해하여 풀어봅시다.
Using 분해하다 correctly requires paying attention to the object being broken down. As a transitive verb, it always takes the object marker -을/를. The sentence structure is typically [Subject]이/가 [Object]을/를 분해하다. Let's explore the nuances through various sentence types and registers.
- Physical Objects
- When dealing with machinery or furniture, the focus is on the action of disassembly. '저는 오래된 컴퓨터를 분해했습니다' (I disassembled an old computer). Here, the intent is usually to see the inside or prepare for disposal.
이 가구는 이사할 때 분해해서 옮겨야 해요.
- Scientific Contexts
- In biology or chemistry, the subject is often a natural force or a chemical agent. '위액은 단백질을 분해합니다' (Gastric juice decomposes proteins). Notice how the verb remains the same, but the context shifts to a molecular level.
햇빛은 플라스틱을 아주 천천히 분해합니다.
When using the passive form, you use 분해되다 (to be disassembled/decomposed). For example, '플라스틱이 자연에서 분해되는 데 500년이 걸립니다' (It takes 500 years for plastic to be decomposed in nature). This shift is crucial when the focus is on the object undergoing the change rather than the agent performing the action. In formal reports, you might see 분해를 실시하다 (to conduct disassembly), which adds a layer of professional bureaucracy to the action. Whether you are talking about a LEGO set, a car engine, or a chemical reaction, mastering the different forms of this verb is key to technical fluency in Korean.
- Abstract/Mathematical Use
- In math, '인수분해하다' means to factorize (break a number into its factors). This shows the logical extension of the word into intellectual domains.
이 숫자를 소인수로 분해해 보세요.
You will encounter 분해하다 in several distinct environments in Korea. Understanding these contexts will help you recognize the word in the wild. First and foremost, you will hear it at the repair shop (수리점). If you take a broken phone or a watch to a technician, they might say, '내부를 분해해서 확인해 봐야겠습니다' (I will have to disassemble the inside to check it). This is a standard part of diagnostic procedures.
- Environmental Documentaries
- With the global focus on climate change, Korean news and documentaries frequently use '분해하다' when discussing waste management and 'biodegradable' (생분해성) products. They discuss how long it takes for garbage to decompose in landfills.
이 비닐봉투는 땅속에서 쉽게 분해되는 친환경 소재입니다.
- Educational Settings
- In science class, teachers use this word to explain digestion, photosynthesis, and chemical reactions. It is a fundamental term in the Korean national curriculum for middle and high school science.
효소가 설탕을 포도당으로 분해하는 과정을 관찰합시다.
Furthermore, in the world of IT and software, '분해' is used in the context of 'deconstructing' code or 'reverse engineering' (역분해). While '역설계' is the formal term for reverse engineering, engineers often talk about '분해해서 분석하다' (disassembling and analyzing) when looking at how a competitor's hardware or software works. Even in sports, commentators might talk about '수비를 분해하다' (breaking down the defense), implying a systematic dismantling of the opponent's strategy. This broad range of usage makes 분해하다 a high-frequency word for intermediate and advanced learners.
- Military Context
- In South Korea, where military service is mandatory for men, '총기 분해' (firearm disassembly) is a very common phrase that almost every adult male knows well.
훈련병들은 눈을 감고도 소총을 분해할 수 있어야 합니다.
One of the most frequent mistakes learners make is confusing 분해하다 with 부수다 (to break/smash) or 고장 내다 (to break/damage). Remember, 분해하다 is a systematic, often professional action. If you drop your phone and the screen cracks, you didn't 분해 it; you 부수다 or 깨뜨리다 (broke/cracked) it. Use 분해하다 only when the intent is to separate parts properly.
- Mistake 1: Confusing with '분석하다'
- While they sound similar and both involve 'breaking down' something, '분석하다' (analyze) is for data, trends, and logical arguments, whereas '분해하다' is for physical or chemical parts. You '분해' a machine to '분석' why it failed.
Wrong: 데이터를 분해해서 보고서를 썼어요. (I disassembled the data...)
Right: 데이터를 분석해서 보고서를 썼어요. (I analyzed the data...)
- Mistake 2: Using the wrong particle
- Learners sometimes use '-가/이' with '분해하다' when they mean the object was decomposed. '플라스틱이 분해해요' (Plastic decomposes [something else]). If you mean the plastic itself is decomposing, you must use the passive '분해되다'.
플라스틱은 자연에서 잘 분해되지 않습니다.
Another nuance to watch out for is the difference between 해체하다 and 분해하다. While they are synonyms, 해체하다 is often used for larger things like buildings, organizations, or groups (e.g., '아이돌 그룹이 해체했다'). 분해하다 is much more technical and mechanical. If you say you '분해' a building, it sounds like you are taking it apart brick by brick with a screwdriver, which is unnatural. Using the right level of 'breaking down' will make your Korean sound much more native and professional.
- Mistake 3: Over-relying on '분해하다' for abstract concepts
- In English, we 'break down' a schedule or a budget. In Korean, using '분해하다' for a budget sounds like you are chemically dissolving the money. Instead, use '나누다' (divide) or '세분화하다' (subdivide).
To truly master 분해하다, you need to know its neighbors. Korean has many words for 'breaking' or 'dividing,' and choosing the right one depends entirely on the context and the size of the object.
- 분해하다 vs. 해체하다 (Dismantle)
- 분해하다: Usually for machines, chemicals, or small items. Focuses on the parts.
해체하다: Usually for large structures (buildings, ships), organizations (teams, companies), or bombs. Focuses on the removal of the whole.
건물을 해체하다 (Dismantle a building) vs. 시계를 분해하다 (Disassemble a watch).
- 분해하다 vs. 분석하다 (Analyze)
- 분해하다: Physical or chemical separation.
분석하다: Logical or intellectual separation (data, logic, literature).
- 분해하다 vs. 부수다 (Break/Smash)
- 분해하다: Orderly, systematic, and intentional.
부수다: Violent, messy, and often destructive.
In academic or highly technical writing, you might also see 해리하다 (dissociate) in chemistry or 분할하다 (partition/divide) in mathematics and land management. Choosing between these depends on whether you are talking about the physical parts (분해), the legal ownership (분할), or the chemical ionic separation (해리). For most daily and intermediate conversations, 분해하다 and 조립하다 (to assemble) are the most important pair to remember. They are the bread and butter of any DIY project or technical explanation in Korean.

Wortherkunft
Derived from Sino-Korean Hanja: 分 (분) meaning 'to divide' and 解 (해) meaning 'to loosen' or 'to solve'.
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: To loosen the parts of a whole and divide them.
Sino-Korean (Hanja)Kultureller Kontext
No major sensitivities, but avoid using it toward people (e.g., 'I will disassemble you') as it sounds like a threat from a sci-fi movie.
In English, we say 'break down' for both physical and emotional states. In Korean, '분해하다' is strictly for parts. If you are 'breaking down' crying, do NOT use this word.

- To take apart physical objects like machines or furniture into their individual components systematically.
