Erklärung 가르쳐 주다 in your Level:

At the A1 level, learners encounter '가르쳐 주다' primarily as a polite way to ask for basic information. The most common phrase is '가르쳐 주세요' (Please teach/tell me). At this stage, you don't need to worry about complex grammar. Just remember that when you want someone to give you their phone number, tell you their name, or show you where the bathroom is, '가르쳐 주세요' is your best friend. It sounds much more natural and polite than just saying '말해요' (speak). For example, '전화번호 좀 가르쳐 주세요' is a standard A1 sentence. You are learning that in Korean, sharing a small piece of information is treated as a 'teaching' favor. You should focus on memorizing the set phrase '가르쳐 주세요' and using it with simple nouns like '이름' (name), '번호' (number), and '길' (way/road). This level is about survival communication and basic politeness, and '가르쳐 주다' is a key tool for getting the information you need from others in a respectful manner. You will also see it used in simple commands or requests in textbooks, such as '이 단어를 가르쳐 주세요' (Please teach me this word). The focus is on the auxiliary '-어 주다' which makes the request sound like you are asking for a small kindness. This helps build the foundation for understanding Korean social dynamics where actions are often framed as favors.

At the A2 level, you begin to understand the grammar behind '가르쳐 주다'. You learn that it's a combination of '가르치다' (to teach) and '-어 주다' (to do something for someone). You should be able to conjugate it into different tenses, like the past tense '가르쳐 줬어요' (taught me) and the future '가르쳐 줄게요' (I will teach you). A2 learners use this phrase to talk about hobbies, daily tasks, and simple skills. For example, '친구가 저한테 한국 요리를 가르쳐 줬어요' (A friend taught me Korean cooking). You also start to use the honorific form '가르쳐 주시다' when talking about teachers or older people. Understanding the particle '-에게/한테' (to someone) becomes important here to specify who is receiving the instruction. You might also use the '-는 법' (way of doing) pattern, as in '김치찌개 만드는 법을 가르쳐 주세요' (Please teach me how to make kimchi stew). At this level, you are moving beyond just asking for phone numbers to describing simple learning experiences. You should practice switching between '가르쳐 주다' (to teach someone) and '배우다' (to learn) to ensure you are using the correct perspective in your sentences. This is also when you start to distinguish it slightly from '알려 주다' (to inform), though they still feel very similar at this stage.

By the B1 level, you should be comfortable using '가르쳐 주다' in a variety of social and professional contexts. You can use it to describe more complex processes and use it with intermediate grammar structures like '-아/어 달라고 하다' (to ask someone to do something). For example, '선생님께 다시 가르쳐 달라고 했어요' (I asked the teacher to teach me again). You also start to notice the nuance between '가르쳐 주다' and its synonyms like '설명해 주다' (to explain) or '보여 주다' (to show). B1 learners can use this phrase to talk about workplace training or school projects. You might say, '동료가 새로운 소프트웨어 사용법을 가르쳐 줬어요' (A colleague taught me how to use the new software). At this level, you should also be aware of the humble and honorific variations used in semi-formal settings. For instance, when offering to help someone older, you might use '가르쳐 드릴까요?' (Shall I teach/show you?). This level requires a better grasp of the social hierarchy and how '가르쳐 주다' fits into the 'give and take' culture of Korea. You are expected to use the phrase naturally in conversation to both request help and offer it, showing a deeper understanding of the 'favor' aspect of the auxiliary verb.

At the B2 level, you use '가르쳐 주다' with advanced grammar and in more abstract contexts. You might talk about life lessons or complex professional skills. For example, '그 경험은 저에게 인내심을 가르쳐 줬어요' (That experience taught me patience). Here, the 'teacher' isn't a person but an experience, but the '주다' auxiliary is still used to personify the lesson as a gift of knowledge. You are also proficient in using the phrase within complex sentences, such as '제가 가르쳐 준 대로 해 보세요' (Try doing it the way I taught you). B2 learners can distinguish the subtle differences between '가르쳐 주다', '지도하다' (to guide/coach), and '교육하다' (to educate). You understand that '가르쳐 주다' remains the most natural choice for interpersonal help, while the others are for formal systems. You should be able to handle honorifics perfectly, using '가르쳐 주셔서 감사합니다' (Thank you for teaching me) in professional emails or formal speeches. This level also involves understanding idiomatic uses or common collocations in the workplace, such as '업무를 가르쳐 주다' (to show someone the ropes). You are now using the phrase to facilitate smooth cooperation in complex social environments.

At the C1 level, your use of '가르쳐 주다' is highly nuanced. You can use it to discuss the transmission of culture, traditions, or deep philosophical ideas. You might use it in literary or academic writing to describe how one generation 'teaches' the next. For example, '기성세대는 젊은 세대에게 전통의 가치를 가르쳐 주어야 한다' (The older generation must teach the value of tradition to the younger generation). You understand the emotional weight the '주다' suffix adds—it implies a legacy or a heartfelt sharing of wisdom. You are also capable of using more formal and rare synonyms like '전수하다' (to pass down) when the context calls for it, but you know that '가르쳐 주다' is still the most emotive and human way to express the act. At this level, you can analyze the use of this phrase in Korean literature or media to understand character relationships. You might notice how a character's refusal to '가르쳐 주다' signifies a breakdown in trust or a hoarding of power. Your mastery of the phrase includes knowing when *not* to use it to avoid sounding overly simplistic in high-level academic discussions, perhaps opting for '교습하다' or '강의하다' instead, depending on the formality of the setting.

At the C2 level, you have a native-like command of '가르쳐 주다' and its place within the broader Korean linguistic landscape. You can use it effortlessly in any context, from the most casual slang-filled conversation to the most formal diplomatic or academic setting. You understand the historical development of the word and how the concept of 'teaching as a gift' is deeply rooted in Confucian values of mentorship and social harmony. You can employ the phrase with supreme rhetorical skill, perhaps using it ironically or metaphorically in a speech or an essay. For example, you might write a critique on how 'society teaches us' (사회가 우리에게 가르쳐 주는 것들) certain biases, using the '주다' auxiliary to highlight the pervasive and almost 'unsolicited' nature of these lessons. You are also an expert in the various humble and honorific forms, navigating the most complex social hierarchies with ease. Your understanding extends to the most subtle nuances, such as why a speaker might choose '가르쳐 주다' over '알려 주다' to create a sense of intimacy or obligation. At this level, the word is no longer just a vocabulary item; it is a versatile tool for expressing complex interpersonal dynamics and cultural values.

가르쳐 주다 in 30 Sekunden

A versatile verb phrase meaning 'to teach' or 'to tell' someone information as a helpful gesture or favor.
Combines '가르치다' (teach) and '주다' (give), reflecting the Korean cultural nuance of providing a service through knowledge.
Commonly used for everything from classroom instruction to asking for directions or a friend's phone number.
Requires the honorific '가르쳐 주시다' when speaking to superiors, and follows the [Teacher]가 [Student]에게 [Subject]를 pattern.

The Korean verb phrase 가르쳐 주다 is a cornerstone of daily social interaction, combining the base verb 가르치다 (to teach) with the auxiliary verb 주다 (to give). In Korean, when you perform an action for the benefit of someone else, you append -어/아 주다 to the verb stem. Therefore, 가르쳐 주다 literally translates to 'to give the act of teaching' or 'to teach as a favor.' While English speakers might simply say 'Tell me your name' or 'Show me the way,' Koreans frequently use 'Teach me your name' (이름을 가르쳐 주세요) or 'Teach me the way' (길을 가르쳐 주세요) because sharing information is viewed as a helpful instruction or a transfer of knowledge.

Core Concept: The act of sharing information, skills, or directions where the speaker or subject is helping another person acquire that knowledge.

제발 그 비밀 레시피를 가르쳐 주세요. (Please teach/tell me that secret recipe.)

This phrase is incredibly versatile. It is not limited to formal classroom settings. In fact, using just 가르치다 can sometimes sound cold or strictly professional, like a professor delivering a lecture. By adding 주다, you soften the tone and acknowledge the interpersonal relationship, making it sound like a kind gesture or a polite request. You will hear this when people ask for phone numbers, directions to the subway station, or how to use a new smartphone app. It encompasses everything from academic tutoring to simply informing someone of a fact they didn't previously know.

Furthermore, the use of this phrase reflects the Korean cultural emphasis on 'Jeong' (social bonding) and mutual assistance. When you ask someone to 가르쳐 주다, you are implicitly showing respect for their knowledge. Conversely, when you offer to 가르쳐 주다, you are positioning yourself as a helpful guide. It is used across all levels of politeness, from the very formal 가르쳐 주십시오 to the intimate 가르쳐 줘 used among close friends. Understanding this nuance is key to moving from a literal translator to a natural Korean speaker.

Social Context: Used when the information being shared is considered a service or a favor, highlighting the helpful nature of the exchange.

선배님이 업무 노하우를 가르쳐 주셨어요. (My senior taught/showed me the work know-how.)

Using 가르쳐 주다 involves a specific grammatical structure that identifies who is teaching, what is being taught, and who is receiving the instruction. The basic formula is: [Teacher]이/가 [Recipient]에게 [Subject]을/를 가르쳐 주다. Because it is a compound verb, it conjugates based on the final verb 주다. For example, in the past tense, it becomes 가르쳐 주었다 (or the contracted 가르쳐 줬다), and in the polite present, it is 가르쳐 줘요.

Politeness Levels: Formal: 가르쳐 주십니다 / 가르쳐 주십시오
Polite: 가르쳐 줘요 / 가르쳐 주세요
Informal: 가르쳐 줘

When you are asking someone of higher status to teach you, it is crucial to use the honorific version: 가르쳐 주시다. This changes to 가르쳐 주셨어요 in the past tense or 가르쳐 주세요 when making a request. For instance, if you are asking a teacher to explain a grammar point, you would say, '선생님, 이 문법 좀 가르쳐 주세요.' Using the plain 가르쳐 줘 to a teacher would be considered quite rude.

할머니께서 저에게 뜨개질을 가르쳐 주셨어요. (My grandmother taught me knitting.)

Another important aspect is the particle usage. The person receiving the instruction takes the dative particle -에게 (formal) or -한테 (conversational). The subject being taught takes the object particle -을/를. However, in casual conversation, these particles are often dropped. '한국어 가르쳐 줘' is a very common way to ask a friend to teach you Korean. You can also use it with the pattern -는 법 (the way of doing) to say 'teach me how to...' For example, '수영하는 법을 가르쳐 줬어요' (He taught me how to swim).

Interestingly, 가르쳐 주다 is also the standard way to ask for information that isn't strictly 'academic.' If you are at a party and want to know someone's Instagram handle, you ask them to 가르쳐 달라 (ask to teach/tell). If you are lost, you ask a passerby to 가르쳐 달라 the way to the station. It covers the spectrum from 'imparting wisdom' to 'providing data.'

저에게 전화번호를 좀 가르쳐 주시겠어요? (Would you mind telling/teaching me your phone number?)

You will hear 가르쳐 주다 in almost every corner of Korean life. In a Korean household, you might hear a mother saying to her child, '동생한테 젓가락질을 가르쳐 줘' (Teach your younger sibling how to use chopsticks). In this context, it emphasizes the elder sibling's role in helping the younger one develop a necessary skill. It's a word that facilitates the passing of knowledge between generations and social groups.

Daily Life Scenarios: 1. Asking for directions on the street.
2. Asking for a friend's contact information.
3. Requesting help with homework or a new task at work.
4. Watching a cooking show where the chef 'teaches' the audience.

길을 잘 몰라서 그러는데, 시청역 가는 법 좀 가르쳐 주시겠어요? (I don't know the way well, so could you teach/show me how to get to City Hall Station?)

In K-Dramas, this phrase often appears in romantic or mentorship subplots. A protagonist might ask their crush to 'teach them' how to play a sport or a musical instrument as an excuse to spend time together. Or, a stern boss might eventually soften and say, '내가 일을 가르쳐 줄게' (I'll teach you the job), signaling a shift from a cold relationship to a professional mentorship. The 'giving' aspect of the verb makes it feel more personal and warm than the dry, academic 가르치다.

In a business setting, it's used when onboarding new employees. A manager might say, '이 서류 작성하는 법을 가르쳐 줄 테니 잘 봐요' (I will teach you how to fill out this document, so watch closely). Here, it maintains a professional yet helpful tone. It is also the standard phrase used when calling a customer service center to ask how to use a product. You are essentially asking the representative to 'instruct' you on the product's functionality.

이번 주말에 저한테 운전 좀 가르쳐 줄 수 있어? (Can you teach me how to drive this weekend?)

One of the most frequent mistakes learners make is confusing 가르치다 (to teach) with 가리키다 (to point). Because they sound somewhat similar, students often say '손가락으로 저 건물을 가르쳤어요' when they mean 'I pointed at that building' (which should be 가리켰어요). Conversely, saying '수학을 가리켜 줬어요' is incorrect; it should be 가르쳐 줬어요. Always remember: Chi (치) is for teaching/knowledge, and Ki (키) is for pointing/indicating.

The '주다' Omission: Learners often forget to add 주다 when asking for a favor. Saying '전화번호 가르치세요' (Teach your phone number) sounds like a command to a teacher to perform their profession, whereas '가르쳐 주세요' is the correct way to request the information as a favor.

저에게 한국어를 가르치세요. (Incorrect: Sounds like a command to a professor)
저에게 한국어를 가르쳐 주세요. (Correct: Please teach me Korean.)

Another common pitfall is the confusion between 가르쳐 주다 and 알려 주다. While they are often interchangeable, 가르쳐 주다 implies a process of instruction or a transfer of a skill/specific data like a number. 알려 주다 literally means 'to make known' and is used for general announcements or letting someone know about a situation. For example, if you are letting someone know that a meeting is canceled, you use 알려 주다. If you are showing them how to write the meeting minutes, you use 가르쳐 주다.

Finally, learners sometimes use 가르쳐 주다 when they mean they 'learned' something. Remember that 가르쳐 주다 is from the teacher's perspective (or the person asking the teacher). If you were the student who received the knowledge, you should use 배우다 (to learn) or say '선생님이 가르쳐 주셨어요' (The teacher taught me).

나는 친구를 가르쳐 줬어요. (When you meant 'I learned from a friend')
친구한테 배웠어요 / 친구가 가르쳐 줬어요. (Correct: I learned from a friend / Friend taught me.)

While 가르쳐 주다 is the most common way to express teaching as a favor, there are several alternatives depending on the context and the level of formality. Understanding these can help you sound more precise and natural.

가르쳐 주다 vs. 알려 주다: 가르쳐 주다: Implies instruction, skill transfer, or specific info like a phone number. (e.g., 'Teach me guitar')
알려 주다: Implies informing, notifying, or letting someone know a fact. (e.g., 'Let me know when you arrive')
가르쳐 주다 vs. 지도하다: 가르쳐 주다: Casual, friendly, everyday instruction.
지도하다 (指導): Formal guidance, coaching, or supervision. Used for professors guiding students or coaches training athletes.

If you are explaining something in detail, you might use 설명해 주다 (to explain for someone). This is more about clarification than teaching a new skill. For example, '이 문제를 설명해 주세요' means 'Please explain this problem,' whereas '이 문제 푸는 법을 가르쳐 주세요' means 'Please teach me how to solve this problem.'

전문가가 저에게 투자 방법을 지도해 주셨어요. (An expert guided me on investment methods.)

In very formal or academic contexts, you might see 교수하다 (to instruct/teach) or 전수하다 (to pass down/initiate). 전수하다 is specifically used when a master passes down a secret technique or a traditional craft to a disciple. You wouldn't use 가르쳐 주다 for such a momentous occasion; 전수해 주다 adds the necessary weight and tradition to the action.

Finally, there is 보여 주다 (to show). Sometimes in English we say 'Show me how to do it,' which can be translated as either 가르쳐 줘 or 보여 줘. If you want them to physically demonstrate so you can watch, 보여 주다 is better. If you want them to explain and guide you through the process, 가르쳐 주다 is the way to go.

장인께서 저에게 도자기 굽는 기술을 전수해 주셨습니다. (The master passed down the pottery-making technique to me.)
