읽히다 in 30 Sekunden
- Passive form of 'to read'.
- Means 'to be read' or 'to be readable'.
- Subject is typically the text being read.
- Used for texts that are easy to understand or engaging.
The Korean verb 읽히다 (ilkhida) is a passive form derived from the verb 읽다 (ikda), which means 'to read'. Essentially, 읽히다 means 'to be read' or 'to be made to read'. It's used in situations where an object or text is the recipient of the action of reading, or when someone is compelled or caused to read something.
Consider the active verb 읽다 (ikda) - 'to read'. When you say '나는 책을 읽어요' (Naneun chaeg-eul ilgeoyo), you are the subject performing the action of reading. However, with 읽히다, the focus shifts. The book is being read, or the story is being read by someone. It can also imply that something is easy to read or engaging enough to be read by many people.
For example, if a book is very popular, you might say '그 책은 많은 사람들에게 읽히고 있다' (Geu chaeg-eun manheun saramdeul-ege ilkhigo itda), meaning 'That book is being read by many people'. Here, the book is the subject, and the action of reading is being done to it. Another nuance is when something is 'readable' in the sense that it's clear, understandable, or appealing to read. For instance, a beautifully written article might be described as well-written and thus easily 읽히는 (ilkhineun) piece.
The structure often involves the object that is being read as the subject of the sentence, followed by the verb 읽히다. It can also be used with an agent, indicated by the particle '-에게' (-ege) or '-한테' (-hante), to show who is doing the reading. This contrasts with the active voice where the agent is the subject performing the action.
Using 읽히다 effectively involves understanding its passive nature and how it can describe both the act of being read and the quality of being readable. Here are several common sentence structures and scenarios:
1. Passive Action: Something is being read.
The most direct use of 읽히다 is to state that something is being read. The subject of the sentence is the item being read.
- Structure
- [Thing being read] + -이/가 + 읽히다.
그 소설은 많은 독자들에게 읽혔다.
You can also specify *who* is reading it using '-에게' or '-한테'.
- Structure
- [Thing being read] + -이/가 + [Reader] + -에게/-한테 + 읽히다.
아이의 동화책이 부모님께 읽혔다.
2. Quality of Readability: Easy or appealing to read.
읽히다 can also describe something as being easy to read, clear, or engaging. In this sense, it implies that people *would* read it or *can* read it easily.
- Structure
- [Thing] + -이/가 + (easily/well) + 읽히다.
이 글은 문장이 간결해서 잘 읽힌다.
It can also be used in negative forms to indicate something is difficult to read.
- Structure
- [Thing] + -이/가 + 잘/쉽게 + 읽히지 않다.
글씨가 너무 작아서 읽히지 않았다.
3. Causative Implication (less common but possible): Causing someone to read.
While less common than the passive meaning, 읽히다 can sometimes imply that someone is *made* to read something, perhaps through persuasion or obligation. This is often seen in more complex sentence structures or specific contexts.
- Structure
- [Someone] + -에게/-한테 + [Something] + -을/를 + 읽히다.
선생님은 학생들에게 어려운 책을 읽히셨다.
You'll encounter 읽히다 in a variety of everyday situations, particularly when discussing literature, texts, and the act of reading itself. Understanding these contexts will help you grasp its nuances.
1. Discussing Books and Articles
When people talk about books, magazines, or any written material, 읽히다 is frequently used. It's common to hear someone say a particular book is popular and 'being read by many people'.
- Example Dialogue
- A: 이 작가 책 정말 재미있어요! (I jjakga chaek jeongmal jaemiisseoyo!) - This author's books are really fun!
B: 네, 저도 그 책을 최근에 읽었어요. (Ne, jeodo geu chaeg-eul choegeune ilgeosseoyo.) - Yes, I also read that book recently.
A: 그 책은 요즘 많은 사람들에게 읽히고 있대요. (Geu chaeg-eun yojeum manheun saramdeul-ege ilkhigo itdaeyo.) - I heard that book is being read by many people these days.
2. Describing Readability
When evaluating the quality of writing, clarity, or ease of understanding, 읽히다 is very useful. For instance, if a document is well-formatted and uses simple language, it's considered easy to 읽히다.
- Example
- 병원 안내문은 글씨가 커서 환자들이 쉽게 읽힐 수 있도록 되어 있습니다. (Byeongwon annaemun-eun geulssi-ga keoseo hwanjadeul-i swipge ilkhil su itdorok doeeo itseumnida.) - The hospital notice has large font so that patients can read it easily.
3. In Academic or Formal Settings
In more formal contexts, such as academic papers or official reports, you might see 읽히다 used to discuss the reception of a text by a specific audience or the potential for a text to be interpreted.
- Example
- 이 연구 결과는 관련 분야 전문가들에게 널리 읽힐 것으로 기대됩니다. (I yeongu gyeolgwa-neun gwallyeon bunya jeonmungadeul-ege neolli ilkhil geos-euro gidae doemnida.) - These research findings are expected to be widely read by experts in the relevant field.
4. Describing Handwriting or Print Quality
If someone's handwriting is messy or the print is smudged, it might be described as not being 읽히다.
- Example
- 제 필체는 엉망이라서 제가 써놓고도 잘 읽히지 않을 때가 있어요. (Je pilche-neun eongmang-iraseo jega sseonoko-do jal ilkhiji anheul ttae-ga isseoyo.) - My handwriting is a mess, so sometimes even I can't read what I've written well.
When learning 읽히다, learners often make a few common mistakes related to its passive voice and its distinction from the active verb '읽다'.
1. Confusing Passive and Active Voice
The most frequent error is using 읽히다 when the speaker is the one performing the action of reading. Remember, 읽다 is for when *you* read, and 읽히다 is for when *something is read* or *is readable*.
- Incorrect
- 나는 그 책이 읽혔다.
- Correct
- 나는 그 책을 읽었다.
- Explanation
- Here, 'I' am the subject performing the action, so the active verb '읽었다' is correct. If you wanted to say the book was read by *someone else*, you'd use 읽히다.
2. Overusing the Causative Meaning
While 읽히다 *can* imply causing someone to read, it's less common than its passive meaning. Learners might try to force this causative nuance where the simple passive is more appropriate.
- Potentially Awkward/Incorrect
- 그는 아이에게 숙제를 읽히고 싶었다.
- More Natural Alternative
- 그는 아이에게 숙제를 하게 하고 싶었다. (Geu-neun ai-ege sukje-reul hage hago sip-eotda.) - He wanted to make the child do the homework.
- Explanation
- The '-게 하다' (to make/let someone do) structure is the standard way to express causation. 읽히다 here sounds a bit unnatural. If the intention was for the child to read the homework itself, one might say '숙제를 읽어보게 하고 싶었다' (sukje-reul ilgeoboge hago sip-eotda - wanted to make the child read the homework).
3. Misunderstanding 'Readable'
Sometimes learners might use 읽히다 to mean 'understandable' in a broader sense, when '이해하다' (ihaehada - to understand) or '알다' (alda - to know) would be more appropriate.
- Incorrect
- 그의 말은 잘 읽혔다.
- Correct
- 그의 말은 잘 이해되었다. (Geu-ui mal-eun jal ihae doeeotda.) - His words were well understood. OR 그의 말은 잘 알아들을 수 있었다. (Geu-ui mal-eun jal aradeureul su isseotda.) - His words were understandable.
- Explanation
- 읽히다 specifically relates to the act or quality of reading text. For understanding spoken words or abstract concepts, other verbs are needed.
While 읽히다 is a specific verb with its own nuances, understanding related words can deepen your comprehension and provide alternatives in different contexts.
1. 읽다 (ikda) - To Read (Active Voice)
This is the most fundamental comparison. 읽다 is the active verb, meaning the subject performs the action of reading. 읽히다 is the passive form.
- Comparison
- 읽다 (ikda): The subject reads.
Example: 나는 책을 읽는다. (Naneun chaeg-eul ilgeonda.) - I read a book.
읽히다 (ilkhida): The object is read, or it is readable.
Example: 이 책은 쉽게 읽힌다. (I chaeg-eun swipge ilkhinda.) - This book is easily readable.
2. 보이다 (boida) - To Be Seen / To Show
보이다 is another common passive verb, meaning 'to be seen'. It's similar to 읽히다 in that it describes something being acted upon. However, 보이다 relates to sight, while 읽히다 relates to reading.
- Comparison
- 보이다 (boida): To be seen.
Example: 그 배우는 무대에서 멋지게 보였다. (Geu baeu-neun mudae-eseo meotjige boyeotda.) - The actor looked great on stage.
읽히다 (ilkhida): To be read.
Example: 이 보고서는 빨리 읽혀야 한다. (I bogoseo-neun ppalli ilkhyeoya handa.) - This report needs to be read quickly.
3. 이해되다 (ihaedoeda) - To Be Understood
This verb is used when a concept, idea, or statement is understood. It's related to 읽히다 in that both can describe the reception of information, but 이해되다 focuses on comprehension rather than the act of reading.
- Comparison
- 이해되다 (ihaedoeda): To be understood.
Example: 그의 설명은 쉽게 이해되었다. (Geu-ui seolmyeong-eun swipge ihaedoeeotda.) - His explanation was easily understood.
읽히다 (ilkhida): To be read.
Example: 그 설명은 글씨가 작아 읽히지 않았다. (Geu seolmyeong-eun geulssi-ga jaga ilkhiji anatda.) - The explanation was not readable because the font was small.
4. 쓰이다 (sseuida) - To Be Written
This is the passive counterpart to '쓰다' (sseuda - to write). It describes the state of being written, which is a prerequisite for being read.
- Comparison
- 쓰이다 (sseuida): To be written.
Example: 이 편지는 펜으로 쓰였다. (I pyeonji-neun pen-euro sseuyeotda.) - This letter was written with a pen.
읽히다 (ilkhida): To be read.
Example: 이 편지는 누가 쓴 것인지 읽히지 않는다. (I pyeonji-neun nuga sseun geos-inji ilkhiji anneunda.) - It's not readable who wrote this letter.
How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
The passive suffix '-히다' is one of several passive-forming suffixes in Korean, including '-이다', '-리다', and '-기다'. The choice of suffix often depends on the verb stem and historical linguistic patterns. '-히다' is a common and productive suffix for creating passive verbs.
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing 'ㅋ' (kh) as a simple 'k' sound.
- Not distinguishing the passive ending '-히다' from other verb endings.
- Incorrect vowel sounds, especially for 'ㅣ' (i).
Schwierigkeitsgrad
Understanding the passive voice and its nuances requires attention. Distinguishing between '읽다' and '읽히다' is key. The concept of 'readability' adds another layer.
Correctly applying the passive voice in Korean can be challenging for learners. Ensuring the subject and verb agree in terms of passive action is crucial.
Using the correct form in spontaneous speech requires practice, especially when differentiating from the active voice.
Recognizing the passive form in spoken Korean and understanding its context is important for comprehension.

Passive Voice Formation (-히다)
The verb stem + -히다 forms the passive voice. For example, '읽-' (read) + '-히다' = '읽히다' (to be read). This shifts the focus from the actor to the recipient of the action.
Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) Sentence Structure
In Korean, the typical sentence order is Subject-Object-Verb. For passive sentences with '읽히다', the 'object' of the active verb (the thing being read) becomes the subject: [Thing being read]-이/가 + 읽히다.
Particles (-이/가, -을/를, -에게/-한테)
The subject particle '-이/가' is used with the noun that is being read. The object particle '-을/를' is used if the verb is transitive in its active form (though less common with 읽히다 where the thing read is the subject). The indirect object particle '-에게/-한테' can indicate the reader.
Verb Conjugation (Tenses and Moods)
읽히다 can be conjugated into various tenses and moods, such as 읽혔다 (was read), 읽히고 있다 (is being read), 읽힐 것이다 (will be read), etc.
Adverbs Modifying Passive Verbs
Adverbs like '쉽게' (easily), '잘' (well), '깊이' (deeply), or '감동적으로' (moving) can modify 읽히다 to describe the manner or quality of being read.

Tipps
Passive Voice Mastery
Remember that 읽히다 is a passive verb. The subject of the sentence is the thing that is being read. Contrast this with '읽다', where the subject is the reader. Practicing sentences where you switch between active ('읽다') and passive ('읽히다') will solidify your understanding.
Aspirated 'ㅋ'
The sound 'ㅋ' in 읽히다 is an aspirated 'kh' sound. Make sure to pronounce it with a puff of air, distinguishing it from a simple 'k'. This is a common characteristic of Korean consonants.
Readability vs. Understanding
While 'readable' (읽히다) often implies understandability, they are not the same. A text can be easily readable (clear font, simple words) but difficult to understand (complex topic). Conversely, a text might be challenging to read (dense language) but ultimately understood. Use 읽히다 for the former and '이해되다' for the latter.
Active Recall Practice
Instead of just reading definitions, try to actively recall sentences using 읽히다. Create your own sentences describing books you've read or texts you've encountered, focusing on whether they were easily readable or widely read.
Value of Literacy
Korean culture places a high value on education and reading. Understanding verbs like 읽히다 helps appreciate this cultural emphasis on accessible and impactful written communication.
Passive Voice Nuances
Korean has multiple ways to express passivity. 읽히다 is one of the most common. Be aware that other passive forms exist, and context will guide you to the most appropriate one.
Synonym Exploration
Explore synonyms like '이해되다' (to be understood) and '보이다' (to be seen). While distinct, they sometimes overlap in conveying the idea of something being accessible or perceivable, helping you choose the most precise word.
Negative Forms
Don't forget the negative form '읽히지 않다'. This is very common when describing things that are difficult or impossible to read due to poor quality, complexity, or illegibility.
Sentence Ordering
Practice reordering scrambled Korean sentences that use 읽히다. This helps you internalize the typical sentence structures and particle usage associated with this verb.
Einprägen
Eselsbrücke
Imagine a book that is so appealing, it practically 'jumps' into your hands and demands to be read. It's so 'readable' that it practically 'reads itself' to you. The '읽' sound can remind you of 'I'll get' the book, because it's so invitingly 읽히다!
Visuelle Assoziation
Picture a book with a glowing aura around it, with an arrow pointing from the book to a person's eyes, signifying that the book is actively inviting the reader and is inherently 'readable'. Or, imagine a magnifying glass over text that is very clear and easy to see, emphasizing 'readability'.
Word Web
Herausforderung
Try to describe three different types of texts you encounter daily (e.g., a news article, a social media post, a textbook chapter) using 읽히다. For each, explain *why* it is or isn't easily 읽히다.
Wortherkunft
The verb 읽히다 is derived from the verb 읽다 (ikda), meaning 'to read'. The suffix '-히다' (-hida) is a passive-forming suffix in Korean, similar to how '-ed' can form passive verbs in English (e.g., 'read' becomes 'is read'). This suffix attaches to verb stems to create a passive voice, indicating that the subject of the verb is the recipient of the action, rather than the performer.
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: The original meaning of the stem '읽-' refers to the act of perceiving written symbols and deriving meaning from them.
Koreanic languagesKultureller Kontext
The term 읽히다 itself is neutral. However, the context in which it's used can be sensitive. For instance, discussing how certain historical texts were 'read' or interpreted by different groups could touch on sensitive historical or political issues. Similarly, if a text is difficult to read due to censorship or suppression, its inability to be 읽히다 can be a sensitive topic.
In English-speaking cultures, the passive voice is also used extensively ('is read', 'can be read'). The concept of 'readability' is a common topic in writing and education. However, the specific grammatical construction of 읽히다 is unique to Korean grammar.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 Fragen'읽다' is the active verb meaning 'to read', where the subject performs the action (e.g., 'I read a book'). 읽히다 is the passive form, meaning 'to be read' or 'to be readable'. In this case, the subject is the thing being read (e.g., 'This book is readable'). The focus shifts from the reader to the text.
While less common than the passive meaning, 읽히다 can sometimes imply that someone is made to read something, especially in specific contexts or with causative constructions. However, the more direct and frequent meaning is 'to be read' or 'is readable'. For direct causation ('to make someone read'), the '-게 하다' structure is usually preferred.
Use 읽히다 when: 1. A text or document is the subject and is being read (e.g., 'The report was read'). 2. You are describing the readability of something (e.g., 'This font is easily readable'). 3. You want to talk about the popularity or reception of a written work (e.g., 'That novel is widely read').
The past tense is formed by conjugating the verb stem '읽히-' with past tense endings. For example: 읽혔다 (was read - plain form), 읽혔어요 (was read - polite informal), 읽혔습니다 (was read - polite formal).
Primarily, 읽히다 refers to written text. While one might metaphorically say a speech was 'read' (meaning delivered or received), it's more commonly used for printed or digital words. For spoken language comprehension, verbs like '이해되다' (to be understood) or '알아듣다' (to understand spoken words) are more appropriate.
This phrase means 'is not easily readable' or 'is difficult to read'. It implies that the text is illegible, unclear, poorly formatted, or uses overly complex language, making it hard for someone to read and comprehend.

No, 읽히다 is not used to describe *how* a person reads. It describes the text itself being read or being readable. For describing a person's reading style, you would use adverbs with the active verb '읽다', e.g., '그는 빨리 읽는다' (He reads quickly).
'읽히다' means 'to be read' (passive). 읽어주다 means 'to read aloud for someone' (active). In '읽어주다', the subject is the person reading aloud, and the object is the person for whom it is read. In 읽히다, the subject is the text being read.
