상회하다

Beispiele Notizen & Tipps 상회하다 in 30 Sekunden
Erklärung 상회하다 in your Level:
At the A1 level, you don't need to use the word '상회하다' yet. It is a very formal and difficult word. Instead, you should learn the word '넘다' (neomda). '넘다' means 'to pass' or 'to be more than.' For example, if you want to say 'The price is more than 10,000 won,' you say '만 원이 넘어요.' '상회하다' is the professional version of this. Imagine you are building a house. '넘다' is like saying 'the roof is high.' '상회하다' is like saying 'the structural elevation exceeds the architectural blueprint.' A1 learners should focus on simple counting and basic comparisons using '보다' (than). Just remember that when you see '상' (up) in a word, it often means something is going higher. You will see this word much later in your studies, but knowing it exists helps you understand that Korean has different words for 'normal' talk and 'news' talk.

As an A2 learner, you are starting to see more Hanja-based words. '상회하다' is one of those. While you still shouldn't feel pressured to use it in daily conversation, you might see it in a simple news snippet or a weather report. At this level, you should understand the basic structure: [Subject] + [Object] + [상회하다]. For example, '기온이 30도를 상회합니다' (The temperature exceeds 30 degrees). It is important to distinguish this from '많다' (to be many). '많다' describes a state, but '상회하다' describes a relationship between a number and a line. If you are reading about a city's population or the price of fruit, and you see this word, just think 'it's more than the usual number.' You can start practicing by recognizing the '상' character (上), which you might know from '상태' (state) or '상급' (advanced). It always points upwards!

At the B1 level, '상회하다' becomes a very useful word for your writing and formal speaking tasks. This is the level where you move beyond personal stories and start talking about society, the environment, and work. When you write an essay about the economy or a report for a Korean company, using '상회하다' instead of '넘다' shows that you have an intermediate-to-advanced grasp of vocabulary. You should use it when discussing statistics, averages, and expectations. For example, '올해 물가는 작년 수준을 상회할 것으로 보입니다' (This year's prices are expected to exceed last year's level). Pay attention to the particles; usually, the target of comparison takes the '-를/을' marker. You should also learn its opposite, '하회하다' (to fall below), as they are often used together in comparative analysis. This word is common in TOPIK II reading passages, so practice identifying the benchmark being exceeded.
For B2 learners, '상회하다' should be a regular part of your professional vocabulary. You are expected to understand the nuance between this and similar words like '초과하다' (exceeding a limit) and '능가하다' (surpassing in quality). At this level, you should be able to use '상회하다' in complex grammatical structures, such as '-ㄴ/은/는 점을 감안할 때, 이를 상회할 가능성이 높다' (Considering the fact that..., there is a high possibility it will exceed this). You should also be comfortable with the noun form '상회' in compound phrases like '상회 폭' (the margin of exceeding). When listening to economic news, you should be able to catch the specific numbers being discussed and understand the implications of them '상회'-ing the forecast. It is no longer just about 'more than'; it is about 'exceeding a calculated benchmark.'

At the C1 level, you should have a sophisticated command of '상회하다' and its stylistic implications. You should use it to provide precise, objective analysis in academic or professional settings. C1 learners should also be aware of the more obscure synonyms like '웃돌다' and know when to choose one over the other for stylistic variety. You might encounter '상회하다' in legal documents or high-level policy papers where it defines thresholds for regulations. You should be able to discuss the '상회 원인' (reasons for exceeding) or '상회 압력' (upward pressure) in a fluid and natural way. Your usage should reflect an understanding that this word carries a sense of 'reaching and then passing' a milestone. In a debate, you could use it to challenge an opponent's data: '그 수치는 통계적 오차 범위를 상회하는 수준입니다' (That figure is at a level that exceeds the statistical margin of error).

As a C2 learner, your understanding of '상회하다' is near-native. You recognize the historical and Hanja roots and can use it with absolute precision in any context. You understand that '상회하다' is not just a verb but a tool for framing a narrative—for example, in a corporate strategy document, choosing '상회하다' emphasizes a positive breakthrough against a benchmark. You can analyze the subtle differences in tone when a reporter chooses '상회' over '돌파' (breakthrough) or '넘어서다' (cross over). You are also capable of using it metaphorically in very high-level literature, though it remains primarily a technical term. Your ability to use this word correctly in a doctoral thesis or a keynote speech signifies your mastery of the 'Hanja-heavy' academic register of Korean. You can also spot when a non-native or a less-educated native uses it incorrectly in a context that is too informal.

상회하다 in 30 Sekunden

  • 상회하다 means to exceed a benchmark or numerical value in a formal context.
  • It is the opposite of 하회하다 (to fall below) and more formal than 넘다.
  • Commonly used in finance, weather reports, and statistical analysis for objective comparison.
  • Requires a specific target or standard to be surpassed, often marked with -를/을.

The Korean verb 상회하다 (sanghoehada) is a formal and precise term used primarily to describe a situation where a numerical value, a specific level, or a set standard has been surpassed or exceeded. Rooted in Hanja (Sino-Korean characters), where 상 (上) means 'above' and 회 (回) means 'to turn' or 'to circle,' the word literally suggests moving into a space that is higher than the previous boundary. While the English word 'exceed' is a close equivalent, 상회하다 carries a distinct nuance of being an objective, often data-driven observation. You won't typically hear this in a casual conversation over coffee about how much sugar someone put in their tea; instead, you will encounter it in news broadcasts, financial reports, academic papers, and official government announcements.

Economic Context
In the world of finance, this word is indispensable. Analysts use it to describe when a company's earnings are higher than the market's consensus or when inflation rates rise above the central bank's target. It implies a comparison against a benchmark.

올해 수출 실적이 당초 목표치를 크게 상회하였다.

(This year's export performance significantly exceeded the original target.)

Beyond economics, 상회하다 is frequently used in meteorology and statistics. When the temperature is higher than the average for that time of year, or when the number of applicants for a position is greater than the available slots, this verb provides the necessary formal tone. It suggests that the 'line' (the standard) has been crossed in an upward direction. It is the opposite of 하회하다 (hahoehada), which means to fall below a certain level. Understanding this pair is crucial for anyone looking to read Korean newspapers or watch the evening news. The word's usage reflects the Korean language's tendency to use specific Hanja-derived vocabulary for professional and public discourse to convey authority and precision.

Statistical Nuance
It is often used with adverbs like '훨씬' (by far) or '크게' (greatly) to emphasize the gap between the actual result and the benchmark.

신규 가입자 수가 예상치를 훨씬 상회하고 있습니다.

(The number of new subscribers is far exceeding expectations.)

Using 상회하다 correctly requires understanding its grammatical environment. As a transitive verb, it usually takes an object marked by the particle -를/을, representing the standard or level being exceeded. However, it is also very common to see it used with the particle -에 in certain contexts, though -를/을 is the standard for the object of comparison. The word functions as a 'Hada' verb, meaning it follows all standard conjugation rules for that category. Because of its formal nature, you will most often see it in the -ㅂ니다/습니다 (formal polite) or -다 (plain/written) styles.

Object Markers
Standard: [Target/Standard] + 을/를 + 상회하다. Example: 기대를 상회하다 (Exceed expectations).

이번 분기 영업 이익은 시장 전망치를 상회할 것으로 보입니다.

(Operating profits for this quarter are expected to exceed market forecasts.)

In sentence construction, 상회하다 often appears in complex sentences that analyze trends. For instance, you might see it in the form A가 B를 상회하면서... (As A exceeded B...), which allows the speaker to explain the consequence of that excess. It is also frequently paired with nouns like 수준 (level), 수치 (numerical value), 평균 (average), and 기대 (expectation). When you want to describe a state that has already happened, use the past tense 상회했다. For future predictions, use 상회할 것이다 or 상회할 것으로 예상되다.

Commonly Exceeded Targets
1. 평균 (Average), 2. 목표 (Target), 3. 예상 (Expectation), 4. 한도 (Limit).

낮 기온이 평년 기온을 크게 상회하면서 무더운 날씨가 이어졌습니다.

(As daytime temperatures significantly exceeded the yearly average, the sweltering weather continued.)

If you are watching a variety show or a sitcom, you might never hear 상회하다. However, the moment you switch to a news channel like KBS, MBC, or SBS, or pick up a newspaper like the Chosun Ilbo, this word becomes ubiquitous. It is the language of the 'public square.' In South Korean society, where data and rankings are highly valued, 상회하다 serves as a vital tool for reporting on social trends. You will hear it during the 8 PM news when the anchor discusses the 'exceedingly high' competition rate for university admissions or the 'higher than expected' turnout in a national election. It is a word of the boardroom and the lecture hall.

Corporate Environment
During quarterly earnings calls (실적 발표), CEOs use this word to reassure investors that the company is performing better than the 'market consensus' (시장 컨센서스).

저희 회사의 매출이 작년 대비 20% 이상 상회하는 성과를 거두었습니다.

(Our company's sales achieved a performance that exceeded last year's by more than 20%.)

In the world of professional sports, commentators might use 상회하다 when discussing a player's career statistics compared to the league average. For example, 'His batting average far exceeds the league average.' In education, it describes students whose scores are above the standard deviation. Because it sounds sophisticated, using it in an interview or a debate can make the speaker sound more intelligent and well-informed. It is a 'prestige' word that bridges the gap between simple observation and professional analysis. If you are preparing for the TOPIK II (Test of Proficiency in Korean), this is a high-frequency word in the reading and listening sections, particularly in passages dealing with social or economic issues.

News Headlines
Common headline structure: '[Subject] [Number] 상회... [Result]'. For example, '물가 상승률 5% 상회... 서민 경제 비상' (Inflation rate exceeds 5%... Emergency for the common economy).

One of the most common mistakes learners make with 상회하다 is using it in casual, daily contexts where it feels out of place. For example, if you say 'I ate more than three bowls of rice' using 상회하다, it sounds like you are delivering a formal nutritional report on yourself. In that case, 넘게 먹었다 is much more natural. Another frequent error is confusing it with its antonym, 하회하다 (to fall below). Because they sound similar (both ending in -회하다), learners often swap them, which completely reverses the meaning of a financial or statistical statement.

Register Mismatch
Mistake: 친구가 약속 시간보다 10분을 상회해서 왔다. (Incorrect register). Correct: 친구가 약속 시간보다 10분 넘게 늦게 왔다.

실적이 기대에 미치지 못했다 vs 하회했다.

(Note the difference: '미치지 못했다' is general, '하회했다' is formal/statistical.)

Another subtle mistake involves the particle usage. While -를 상회하다 is the most standard form, some learners mistakenly use -보다 상회하다. While understandable, -보다 is redundant because the 'above' (상) meaning is already built into the verb itself. Just use the object marker -를/을. Lastly, avoid using 상회하다 for qualitative improvements. You shouldn't say 'My Korean skills exceeded my expectations' using this word unless you are referring to a specific test score (a number). If you are talking about general skill improvement, 능가하다 (to surpass/excel) or 뛰어넘다 (to leap over) are better choices.

Confusing it with 초과하다
'초과하다' (exceed) is often used for limits (like luggage weight), while '상회하다' is used for benchmarks (like expectations or averages).

To truly master 상회하다, you must see how it fits into the family of Korean words that mean 'to exceed' or 'to surpass.' The most common alternative is 넘다. This is the 'Swiss Army knife' of the group—it can be used for physical obstacles, time, numbers, and emotions. However, in a professional report, 넘다 might feel slightly too simple. Another close relative is 초과하다 (chogwahada). This word is specifically used when there is a strict limit or 'cap' that has been crossed, such as a weight limit or a budget. If you go over your data limit on your phone, you 초과 it; you don't 상회 it.

Comparison: 상회 vs 능가
상회하다: Focuses on the numerical gap (Quantitative). 능가하다: Focuses on superiority in ability or quality (Qualitative).

그의 실력은 이미 스승을 능가했다.

(His skill has already surpassed his teacher's.)

Then there is 웃돌다 (utdolda). This is a native Korean (Pure Korean) equivalent of 상회하다. It is also used for numbers and levels, but it feels slightly more descriptive and is often used in journalism as well. Many people use 상회하다 and 웃돌다 interchangeably. On the other hand, 앞지르다 means 'to overtake' or 'to outstrip,' often used in the context of a race or competition. Finally, 압도하다 (to overwhelm) is used when the difference is so large that it completely crushes the comparison. Choosing the right word depends on whether you are looking at a spreadsheet, a running track, or a person's talent.

Antonym: 하회하다
Used when results fall below a benchmark. Example: '예상치를 하회하다' (To fall below expectations).

Wusstest du?

While '회' (廻) means to revolve, in modern Korean usage for this word, it functions more as a marker of 'passing' or 'exceeding' a point, similar to how a lap around a track passes the starting line.
