When you're learning Korean, you'll find that many verbs have nuances that aren't immediately obvious from a simple dictionary definition. The verb 삭이다 (sakida) is a great example of this. At its core, it means 'to suppress' or 'to digest,' but it's most commonly used in the context of emotions, particularly anger or resentment.
Imagine you're feeling really angry, but you decide to keep it to yourself instead of lashing out. In this situation, you would use 삭이다 to describe the act of holding that anger in or letting it subside internally. It implies a process of internal management rather than external expression. While it can also be used literally for things like food digestion, its emotional application is where you'll hear it most often in everyday Korean conversations.

- Suppressing anger or strong emotions.

- Calming oneself down from strong emotions.
§ What does '삭이다' mean and when do people use it?
The Korean word '삭이다' (pronounced sah-gee-da) is a versatile verb that you'll hear in everyday conversations. At its core, it means to suppress or digest. But like many words, its meaning changes slightly depending on the context. Let's break it down.
Most commonly, '삭이다' is used when talking about emotions, especially negative ones like anger, resentment, or sadness. When you '삭이다' these feelings, you're trying to calm them down, suppress them, or process them internally. It's about managing your emotional state rather than outwardly expressing what you feel.
- Emotional Suppression
- This is the most frequent use of '삭이다'. Imagine you're upset with someone, but you decide not to confront them immediately. Instead, you keep your anger inside, trying to '삭이다' it. It's about internalizing and trying to move past strong feelings.
화가 났지만 겨우 삭였어요. (I was angry, but I barely suppressed it.)
그녀는 슬픔을 삭이기 위해 혼자 시간을 보냈어요. (She spent time alone to digest her sadness.)
You might also hear '삭이다' in contexts related to physical digestion, though this is less common than its emotional use. Think about when you eat something heavy, and you need time for your stomach to '삭이다' the food. In this sense, it means to digest or break down.
- Physical Digestion
- When referring to food, '삭이다' means to break it down in the stomach. While there are more common verbs for 'to digest' (like 소화하다), '삭이다' can be used, especially when talking about food that might be difficult to digest or when you need some time for it to settle.
음식이 너무 많아서 삭이기가 힘들어요. (There's too much food, so it's hard to digest.)
Another, less common, but still valid usage of '삭이다' relates to things that are undergoing a process of mellowing or fermenting, like kimchi or certain foods. In this sense, it means to allow something to ripen or mature, often softening or changing its properties.
- Mellowing/Fermenting
- This is about letting something naturally change or become milder over time. Think of fruits ripening or certain ingredients fermenting. The raw edge is '삭이다'd away.
김치를 잘 삭여야 맛있어요. (You have to let kimchi ferment well for it to be delicious.)
To sum up, when you encounter '삭이다', keep these main uses in mind:
- Suppressing or calming emotions (most common).
- Digesting food (less common, but still used).
- Mellowing or fermenting something (less common, specific contexts).
Understanding these nuances will help you grasp the meaning of '삭이다' in various situations. Pay attention to the context, and you'll quickly get the hang of it!
§ Understanding 삭이다 (sak-i-da)
The Korean verb 삭이다 (sak-i-da) is super useful, but it doesn't have a single perfect English translation. It generally means to suppress, to digest, or to let something settle. You'll often hear it when people talk about feelings, especially negative ones like anger or sadness, and also literally about food.
- Korean Word
- 삭이다 (sak-i-da)
- Meaning
- To suppress or digest (e.g., anger, food).
§ How to Use It in Sentences
Let's break down how to use 삭이다 in real Korean sentences. You'll primarily see it used with emotions and sometimes with food.
§ Suppressing Emotions (화/분노/스트레스 삭이다)
This is one of the most common ways 삭이다 is used. When you're trying to calm down or let go of strong negative feelings like anger (화), rage (분노), or stress (스트레스), you use 삭이다.
화가 나서 한숨 돌리며 삭였어요.
(I was angry, so I took a deep breath and suppressed it.)
그는 슬픔을 삭이려고 노력했다.
(He tried to suppress his sadness.)
쌓인 스트레스를 어떻게 삭여야 할지 모르겠어요.
(I don't know how to relieve accumulated stress.)
§ Digesting Food (음식/속을 삭이다)
삭이다 can also be used in a more literal sense, meaning to digest food or to settle one's stomach (속). This is particularly common when talking about food that is hard to digest or when you have an upset stomach.
이 음식은 잘 삭이지 못했어요.
(I couldn't digest this food well.)
따뜻한 차를 마셔서 속을 삭이자.
(Let's drink warm tea to settle our stomachs.)
§ Related Expressions and Nuances
While 삭이다 is often used for internal suppression or digestion, it's good to know some other ways to express similar ideas.
- 화가 풀리다 (hwa-ga pul-li-da): This means anger subsides or is relieved naturally, rather than actively suppressed.
- 참다 (cham-da): This means to endure or hold back, which is similar to suppressing but often implies a more active, conscious effort to restrain.
- 소화하다 (so-hwa-ha-da): This is the more general and academic term for 'to digest' (food). 삭이다 for digestion often implies a more natural, gradual process, or when referring to a difficult digestion.
§ Practice Time!
To really get the hang of 삭이다, try making your own sentences. Think about times you've had to calm down an emotion or when you've had trouble digesting something.
- How would you say: "I need to suppress my anger before I talk to him."?
- How would you say: "This spicy food is hard to digest."?
Keep practicing, and you'll naturally start using 삭이다 like a native speaker!

Learners often confuse '삭이다' with verbs like '참다' (to endure) or '가라앉히다' (to calm down). While related, '삭이다' specifically implies processing and diminishing an internal state, often negative.
'삭이다' means to internally process and gradually diminish a strong feeling or a physical sensation like indigestion. It's about letting something subside or be absorbed. '참다' is to endure or hold back, often actively resisting an urge or feeling. '가라앉히다' is to calm something down, often an external situation or a strong emotional outburst.
화를 삭이는 데 시간이 필요해요. (I need time to digest my anger.)
Often mistakenly used when '삭이다' is more appropriate, especially when talking about deep emotional processing.
'참다' implies holding back or enduring, often with conscious effort. You might '참다' a sneeze or a tear. '삭이다' is more about the internal process of letting something lessen or subside.
울음을 참았어요. (I held back my tears.)
Can be confused when discussing calming emotions, but it often refers to external calming or bringing something to a stop.
'가라앉히다' means to calm down, settle, or make something subside, often from a heightened state. It can be used for emotions but also for things like dust settling or a storm calming. '삭이다' is more internal and about processing.
마음을 가라앉히세요. (Calm your mind.)
Directly means 'to digest food,' but learners might extend its meaning to emotional 'digestion' too broadly.
While '삭이다' can mean to 'digest' in an emotional sense, '소화하다' is almost exclusively used for the physical digestion of food. Using '소화하다' for emotions sounds unnatural.
음식을 소화하는 데 시간이 걸려요. (It takes time to digest food.)
Learners might think 'overcoming' something negative is similar to 'digesting' it.
'극복하다' means to overcome a difficulty, challenge, or obstacle. It implies triumphing over something. '삭이다' is about letting a feeling or sensation diminish, not necessarily conquering it.
어려움을 극복했어요. (I overcame the difficulty.)
So verwendest du es
When 삭이다 is used in the context of food, it means to digest food. For example:
• 음식이 잘 삭이다. (The food digests well.)
When 삭이다 is used in the context of feelings, it means to suppress or calm down one's feelings. For example:
• 화가 날 때 감정을 삭이세요. (When you're angry, suppress your feelings.)
• 그는 분을 삭이지 못했다. (He couldn't suppress his anger.)
A common mistake is confusing 삭이다 with 삭다. 삭다 (verb) means to become rotten, to decay, or to get old and worn out. It does not refer to digestion or suppressing emotions.
For example, you would not say 과일이 삭인다 (X) to mean the fruit is digesting. Instead, you would say 과일이 삭는다 (O) to mean the fruit is rotting.
Tipps
Basic Meaning of 삭이다
The most common meaning of 삭이다 is to digest food. Think of your stomach 'digesting' what you eat.
Suppressing Emotions
When used with emotions, 삭이다 means to suppress or contain them, especially feelings like anger or sorrow. It's about 'digesting' an emotion rather than expressing it.
Common Phrase: 화를 삭이다
A very common phrase is 화를 삭이다 (hwa-reul sa-gi-da), which means to suppress one's anger or 'cool down'.
Common Phrase: 음식을 삭이다
Another common phrase is 음식을 삭이다 (eum-si-geul sa-gi-da), meaning to digest food.
Passive Form
While 삭이다 is active, sometimes you might see 삭여지다 (sa-gyeo-ji-da), which is the passive form, meaning 'to be suppressed' or 'to be digested'.
Think 'Internal Processing'
Imagine 삭이다 as something happening internally – whether it's your body processing food or your mind processing an emotion.
Don't Confuse with Expressing
삭이다 is the opposite of expressing an emotion. It's about holding it in or dealing with it internally.
Not for 'Understanding'
While 'digesting' information might sound similar, 삭이다 is not typically used for understanding a concept. Use comprehend (이해하다) instead.
Practice Sentences
Try making your own sentences using 삭이다. For example: '저는 화를 삭이려고 노력했어요.' (I tried to suppress my anger.)

It's generally neutral. If you 삭이다 your anger, it's often seen as a good thing to calm down. However, if you're constantly 삭이다 your feelings without addressing them, that could be seen negatively.

You could say '화를 삭이기 힘들어요' (hwa-reul sa-gi-gi him-deu-reo-yo), meaning 'It's hard to suppress my anger'.
