- Inherit property or title.
- Usually from a deceased family member.
- Legal and formal term.
- Related to wealth and legacy.
The Korean verb '상속하다' (sang-sok-ha-da) is used to describe the act of inheriting something. This typically refers to receiving property, wealth, assets, or even a title from someone, usually a family member, after their passing. It's a formal term often found in legal, financial, and familial contexts. When someone '상속하다', they are legally and/or customarily becoming the recipient of what was left behind by the previous owner or holder. This can range from a large estate with land and buildings to a significant sum of money or even sentimental heirlooms that have been passed down through generations. The concept of inheritance is deeply ingrained in many cultures, including Korean culture, where family lineage and the passing of legacy are highly valued.
- Legal Context
- In legal documents and discussions about wills and estates, '상속하다' is the precise term used to denote the transfer of ownership. For instance, a will might state that a child will '상속하다' the family business.
- Familial Context
- Within families, especially when discussing the distribution of assets after a death, '상속하다' is commonly used. It signifies the continuation of a legacy and the responsibility that comes with it. For example, '그는 부모님으로부터 많은 재산을 상속했다' (He inherited a lot of property from his parents).
- Beyond Material Possessions
- While '상속하다' most often refers to material wealth, it can also, in a broader sense, apply to inheriting non-material things like a family name, a tradition, or even a certain character trait passed down through generations. However, its primary and most common usage is for tangible assets.
When a grandparent passes away, their children might 상속하다 the family home.
The eldest son is expected to 상속하다 the family business.
She will 상속하다 her grandmother's antique jewelry collection.
'상속하다' is a transitive verb, meaning it takes a direct object – the thing being inherited. It's typically used in the past tense ('상속했다', '상속했습니다') or in constructions referring to future inheritance ('상속할 것이다', '상속받을 것이다' which uses the passive form '받다' meaning to receive). The subject of the sentence is the person or entity doing the inheriting. The indirect object, or the source of the inheritance, is often introduced with particles like '에게서' (from someone) or '으로부터' (from something/a source).
- Subject + Object + 상속하다
- The most straightforward structure: [Inheritor] [What is Inherited] 상속하다. For example, '아들이 아버지의 재산을 상속했다' (The son inherited the father's property).
- Subject + Source + Object + 상속하다
- Adding the source: [Inheritor] [Source] [What is Inherited] 상속하다. For example, '그녀는 할머니에게서 오래된 그림을 상속했다' (She inherited old paintings from her grandmother).
- Using Passive Form: 상속받다
- A very common way to express inheritance is using the passive form '상속받다' (sang-sok-bat-da), which means 'to receive inheritance'. This structure is often preferred and sounds more natural in many contexts: [Inheritor] [Source] [What is Inherited] 상속받았다. For example, '자녀들이 부모님의 모든 재산을 상속받았다' (The children received all of their parents' property as inheritance).
- Future Inheritance
- To talk about future inheritance, you can use '상속할 것이다' (will inherit) or '상속받을 것이다' (will receive inheritance). For instance, '그는 회사를 상속할 것이다' (He will inherit the company).
The children will 상속하다 their parents' land.
He inherited a significant amount of money from his uncle.
She inherited her grandmother's traditional Korean house.
You'll most frequently encounter '상속하다' in formal settings, particularly within legal and financial discussions. News reports about family estates, wills, or disputes over inheritance will often use this term. In dramas or movies that deal with family sagas, wealth, and succession, '상속하다' is a staple word. It's also a key term in legal proceedings related to probate and estate division. While not a word used in casual everyday chat about trivial matters, it's essential for understanding discussions concerning family wealth, property transfer after death, and the continuation of business legacies. Think of situations where lawyers are involved, or families are making significant decisions about their assets after a passing.
- Legal and Financial News
- When major corporations change leadership due to the passing of a founder, news outlets will report on who will '상속하다' the company. Similarly, reports on property disputes or large inheritances will use this verb.
- Family Dramas and Movies
- Korean television dramas and films often feature plotlines revolving around family legacies, power struggles for inheritance, and the emotional weight of receiving ancestral property. '상속하다' is a central verb in these narratives.
- Will and Estate Planning
- In discussions about creating a will or managing an estate, legal professionals will use '상속하다' to define the transfer of assets to beneficiaries.
- Historical Contexts
- When discussing historical noble families or royal lineages, the concept of inheriting titles and lands would be described using '상속하다'.
The news reported that the CEO's son would 상속하다 the company.
In the drama, the protagonist had to fight to 상속하다 her father's fortune.
The lawyer explained how the property would be 상속하다 to the grandchildren.
Learners might confuse '상속하다' with other verbs related to receiving or taking, or they might misuse the particles associated with it. The most common error is not distinguishing it from simply 'receiving' something that isn't an inheritance. Another mistake is using it for inheritance of non-material things without appropriate context, as its primary meaning is tied to property and title. Also, mixing up the active '상속하다' and passive '상속받다' can lead to unnatural sentences.
- Confusing with General Receiving
- Mistake: Using '상속하다' for any kind of receiving. For example, saying 'I 상속하다 a book from my friend' is incorrect. You would use '받다' (to receive). '상속하다' specifically implies inheriting property or title, usually after death.
- Incorrect Particle Usage
- Mistake: Misusing particles when indicating the source of inheritance. While '에게서' or '으로부터' are common, learners might use incorrect particles or omit them entirely, leading to grammatical errors.
- Overuse for Non-Material Inheritance
- Mistake: Applying '상속하다' too broadly to non-tangible things. While you can inherit a 'legacy' or 'spirit', directly saying 'I 상속하다 my father's kindness' is unusual. More natural phrasing would involve terms like '이어받다' (to inherit, take over) for qualities or responsibilities.
- Active vs. Passive Confusion
- Mistake: Using '상속하다' when '상속받다' is more natural or vice-versa. For example, saying '재산이 나를 상속했다' (The property inherited me) is grammatically incorrect. The correct passive form is '나는 재산을 상속받았다' (I received the property as inheritance).
Incorrect: 그는 친구에게서 책을 상속했다. Correct: 그는 친구에게서 책을 받았다. (He inherited a book from his friend is wrong; he received a book from his friend is correct.)
Incorrect: 딸이 아버지의 유언장을 상속했다. Correct: 딸이 아버지의 유언에 따라 재산을 상속받았다. (The daughter inherited her father's will is wrong; the daughter received her father's property according to his will is correct.)
While '상속하다' is specific, other words can convey related meanings, depending on the nuance. Understanding these alternatives helps in choosing the most precise term.
- 받다 (bat-da) - To receive
- This is the most general term for receiving. It can be used for anything from receiving a letter to receiving a gift. When used with '상속' as '상속받다', it specifically means to receive an inheritance.
Example: 나는 친구에게서 선물을 받았다. (I received a gift from my friend.) vs. 나는 부모님으로부터 집을 상속받았다. (I received the house from my parents as inheritance.) - 이어받다 (i-eo-bat-da) - To inherit, to take over, to succeed
- This verb is often used for inheriting responsibilities, a position, a legacy, or even a business from someone, not strictly limited to material property after death. It implies continuation.
Example: 그는 아버지의 사업을 이어받았다. (He took over his father's business.) vs. 그는 아버지의 재산을 상속했다. (He inherited his father's property.) - 물려주다 (mul-lyeo-ju-da) - To bequeath, to pass down
- This is the verb used by the person who is giving the inheritance. It's the active counterpart to inheriting.
Example: 할아버지는 손자에게 많은 땅을 물려주셨다. (The grandfather bequeathed a lot of land to his grandson.) vs. 손자는 할아버지로부터 많은 땅을 상속했다. (The grandson inherited a lot of land from his grandfather.) - 계승하다 (gye-seung-ha-da) - To succeed (to a throne, title, position)
- This verb is more formal and typically refers to succeeding to a position of power, such as a throne, a title, or a leadership role. It's less about tangible assets and more about authority.
Example: 왕자가 왕위를 계승했다. (The prince succeeded to the throne.) vs. 그는 왕가의 재산을 상속했다. (He inherited the royal family's assets.)
He will 이어받다 the family business.
She will 물려주다 her jewelry to her daughter.
How Formal Is It?

In ancient Korean society, the concept of inheritance was strongly tied to maintaining the patrilineal lineage and ensuring the continuation of family rituals and ancestral worship. The eldest son typically had the primary role in inheriting both property and responsibilities. The word '상속하다' encapsulates this deeply ingrained cultural practice.

Both '상속하다' and '물려주다' relate to the transfer of property or legacy.
'물려주다' is what the person *gives* or *bequeaths* (the giver's action), while '상속하다' is what the person *receives* or *inherits* (the receiver's action). They are antonyms in terms of the actor.
아버지가 아들에게 집을 물려주셨다. (The father bequeathed the house to his son.) vs. 아들이 아버지로부터 집을 상속받았다. (The son inherited the house from his father.)
Both can refer to taking over something from a predecessor.
'상속하다' is primarily about inheriting property or title, typically after death, and has a strong legal and formal connotation. '이어받다' is broader and can include inheriting responsibilities, a business, a tradition, or even character traits, and the predecessor doesn't necessarily have to be deceased.
그는 아버지의 사업을 이어받았다. (He took over his father's business - could be alive or deceased). 그는 아버지의 재산을 상속받았다. (He inherited his father's property - implies father is deceased).
Both involve succeeding to something.
'상속하다' is mainly for property, wealth, or titles in a general sense. '계승하다' is more specific to succeeding to a formal position of power, such as a throne, a leadership role in a hierarchy, or a title. It's about authority and status.
왕자가 왕위를 계승했다. (The prince succeeded to the throne.) vs. 그는 왕족의 재산을 상속했다. (He inherited the royal family's assets.)
Both are related to receiving something after someone's death.
'상속하다' refers to inheriting property as defined by law, often through general succession rules or a will. '유증받다' specifically means to receive a bequest or legacy *mentioned in a will*. It's a more specific legal term for a specific type of inheritance.
모든 재산은 법에 따라 장남에게 상속된다. (All assets are inherited by the eldest son according to law.) vs. 그녀는 유언을 통해 특정 그림을 유증받았다. (She received a specific painting as a bequest through the will.)
Both involve receiving property or rights.
'상속하다' is inheritance, usually after death, and often legally mandated or specified in a will. '양도받다' means to receive property or rights through transfer, often via sale, assignment, or other legal agreement while the original owner is alive. It implies a transaction or formal transfer process not necessarily linked to death.
그는 아버지로부터 땅을 상속받았다. (He inherited land from his father.) vs. 그는 이웃에게서 땅을 양도받았다. (He received the land from his neighbor through transfer/purchase.)

Using '상속하다' for everyday receiving.
→
받다, 물려받다
'상속하다' specifically refers to inheriting property or titles, usually after death. For general receiving, '받다' is used. For receiving things passed down from elders, '물려받다' is more appropriate.
-
Confusing the actor: '재산이 나를 상속했다.'
→
나는 재산을 상속했다/상속받았다.
The subject of '상속하다' is the inheritor, not the property. The property is the object being inherited. The correct structure is 'Subject (inheritor) + Object (property) + 상속하다/상속받다'.
-
Using '상속하다' for inheriting non-material things without context.
→
이어받다, 물려받다
While '상속하다' can be used figuratively for legacy, it's more strongly tied to tangible assets. For inheriting qualities, responsibilities, or traditions, '이어받다' or '물려받다' are often more natural.
-
Incorrectly using particles for the source of inheritance.
→
Source + -에게서 / -으로부터 + Object + 상속받다.
Particles like '-에게서' (from a person) or '-으로부터' (from a person or thing) are essential to indicate who or what the inheritance comes from. Omitting or misusing them leads to grammatical errors.

'상속하다' for inheritance after death, '증여하다' for gifting while alive.
'상속하다' is about receiving property after someone's death. '증여하다' is about gifting property while the owner is still alive. The timing and context are fundamentally different.
Tipps
Active vs. Passive
Remember that '상속하다' is active (the subject inherits), while '상속받다' is passive (the subject receives inheritance). Both are correct, but '상속받다' is often more natural when emphasizing the recipient.
Formal and Legal
'상속하다' is a formal and often legal term. Use it when discussing property, titles, or significant assets being passed down, usually after someone's death.
Not for General Receiving
Avoid using '상속하다' for everyday receiving of items or gifts. Use '받다' for general reception and '물려받다' for things passed down from elders more casually.
Antonyms and Alternatives
Understand antonyms like '물려주다' (to bequeath) and related verbs like '이어받다' (to take over) and '계승하다' (to succeed to a title) to choose the most precise word for the situation.
Mnemonic Device
Connect 'Sang' to a king and 'sok' to continuing his reign. King Sang continues his reign, thus he '상속하다's it.
Cultural Significance
Inheritance ('상속') holds significant cultural weight in Korea, often tied to family lineage, legacy, and responsibility. Be mindful of this when using the word.
Stress and Sounds
Pay attention to the primary stress on the first syllable '상' (sang) and ensure correct pronunciation of vowels and the aspirated 'ㅎ' (h).
Sentence Building
Practice creating sentences using '상속하다' and '상속받다' with different subjects, objects, and sources of inheritance to solidify understanding.
Confusing with '증여하다'
Don't confuse '상속하다' (inherit after death) with '증여하다' (gift while alive). The timing and context are crucial differences.
Figurative Meanings
While primarily literal, '상속하다' can be used figuratively for inheriting traditions, honor, or responsibilities. Be aware of this nuanced usage in literature or formal speeches.

Word Web
Herausforderung
Try to explain the concept of inheritance to someone using only the word '상속하다' and related terms in Korean, focusing on different scenarios like inheriting a house versus inheriting a company.
Wortherkunft
The word '상속하다' is derived from Chinese Hanja characters. '상속' (相續) itself is composed of '상' (相), meaning 'mutual' or 'together,' and '속' (續), meaning 'to continue' or 'to succeed.' This combination literally implies 'mutually continuing' or 'succeeding together,' which metaphorically describes the passing on of property or title from one generation to the next.
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: The original Chinese characters 相續 convey the idea of continuing a lineage or succession, particularly in the context of family or official positions. The meaning evolved to specifically include the transfer of property and rights.
Sino-Korean (derived from Chinese Hanja)Kultureller Kontext
Discussions about inheritance can be very sensitive due to the emotional ties involved and the potential for conflict. It's generally a topic discussed within families or with legal professionals, rather than in casual social settings, unless it's a widely publicized event or part of a fictional narrative.
In English-speaking cultures, inheritance is also a significant concept, governed by laws of succession and wills. While familial bonds are important, there can be a greater emphasis on individual entitlement and legal frameworks. The term 'inherit' covers a broad range of scenarios, from tangible assets to abstract qualities.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 Fragen'상속하다' means 'to inherit' (active voice, focusing on the act of inheriting). '상속받다' means 'to receive an inheritance' (passive voice, focusing on the recipient). Both are commonly used, but '상속받다' is often preferred in everyday conversation when the focus is on the person who receives the inheritance. For example, '그는 재산을 상속했다' (He inherited property) and '그는 재산을 상속받았다' (He received property as inheritance) are both correct and convey similar meanings, with the latter perhaps sounding more natural in many contexts.
Primarily, '상속하다' is used for tangible assets like money, property, or titles. However, it can sometimes be used metaphorically for inheriting a legacy, tradition, or even a responsibility, though verbs like '이어받다' are often more suitable for these non-material inheritances. For example, '가문의 영광을 상속하다' (to inherit the family honor) is a figurative usage.
Yes, the act of '상속하다' is almost exclusively associated with the transfer of property or title after the death of the original owner. If someone receives property or a title while the original owner is alive, it's usually referred to as '증여하다' (to gift) or '양도받다' (to receive a transfer).
'상속하다' is the action of the *recipient* who inherits. '물려주다' is the action of the *giver* who bequeaths or passes down something. They are essentially opposite sides of the same event. For example, a father might '물려주다' (bequeath) his house, and the son would '상속하다' (inherit) it.
Yes, it's possible to renounce an inheritance. If the inherited property comes with significant debt or liabilities, the heir might choose to '상속을 포기하다' (renounce inheritance). This is a legal process.
'상속세' (sang-sok-se) literally means 'inheritance tax'. It is a tax imposed by the government on the value of the property or assets that a person inherits.
While less common and often figurative, it's possible to hear '재능을 상속하다' (inherit talent). However, '이어받다' (to take over, succeed) or '물려받다' (to receive what is passed down) are generally more natural choices for abstract qualities or skills.
A will (유언) is a legal document where the deceased (testator) specifies how their property should be distributed after their death. If a valid will exists, the inheritance usually follows its instructions. If there is no will, inheritance follows legal succession laws.
Korean inheritance is governed by law, which dictates the order of heirs and their shares, especially if there is no will. The closest relatives, such as spouse and children, are typically the primary heirs. There are also legal provisions for inheritance tax. Family discussions and agreements often play a significant role, but legal frameworks are in place to resolve disputes.
'상속하다' is not a word used in everyday casual conversation unless one is specifically discussing family inheritance matters, legal issues, or related news. For simpler acts of receiving, other verbs like '받다' or '물려받다' are more common.
