When you want to say "very much" or "greatly" in Korean, you can use the word 무척. It's an adverb, so it describes verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, telling you how intense something is. For example, if you want to say something is "very difficult," you could use 무척. It's a useful word to know to add emphasis to your sentences. Think of it like saying "really" or "extremely" in English.
You'll often hear 무척 used to add emphasis, similar to "very" or "really" in English. It's a great word to make your descriptions more vivid. For example, instead of just saying something is good, you can say it's 무척 good to show a stronger feeling.
You can use 무척 with adjectives to describe feelings or qualities, like 무척 예쁘다 (very pretty) or 무척 좋다 (very good). It can also modify verbs to describe how an action is performed, such as 무척 보고 싶다 (really want to see). This makes your Korean sound much more natural and expressive.
You might already know words like 정말 (jeongmal) or 아주 (aju) to express "really" or "very." 무척 (mucheok) is another useful adverb to add to your vocabulary with a similar meaning. It also means "very much" or "greatly."
While often interchangeable with 정말 or 아주, 무척 sometimes carries a slightly stronger emphasis, suggesting a more intense degree. Think of it as conveying a deeper sense of "very."
You'll often hear 무척 in both spoken and written Korean, especially when describing feelings, effort, or the extent of something. For instance, you could say "무척 보고 싶어요" (mucheok bogo sipeoyo) to mean "I miss you very much."
Adding 무척 to your sentences can help you express stronger emotions or emphasize a point more clearly. It’s a great way to make your Korean sound more natural and expressive.
When you want to express something with a higher degree, 무척 is an excellent adverb to use. It emphasizes the extent or intensity of a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Think of it as a stronger way to say 'very' or 'really.'
For example, if something is 무척 재미있다, it's not just 'interesting,' it's 'very much interesting' or 'greatly interesting.' It's often interchangeable with words like 아주 or 정말, but 무척 can sometimes carry a slightly more formal or literary nuance, depending on the context.
When you want to express something with a higher degree, like "very much" or "greatly," you can use the adverb 무척. It adds emphasis to verbs and adjectives, showing a strong intensity. Think of it as a way to say "really" or "extremely."
For instance, if you say "I am 무척 happy," it means you are truly and greatly happy. It's a useful word to add more feeling to your sentences and convey stronger emotions or descriptions.

§ What 무척 means and how to use it
- DEFINITION
- 무척 (mu-cheok) is an adverb in Korean that means 'very much' or 'greatly.' It’s used to intensify the meaning of verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, similar to how you would use words like 'very,' 'really,' or 'a lot' in English.
Think of it as adding emphasis. If something is good, using 무척 makes it 'very good.' If you like something, using 무척 means you 'like it a lot.' It's a versatile word that helps express stronger feelings or greater degrees of something.
You'll often hear and see 무척 in everyday conversations, books, and even formal writing. It's not overly formal or informal, making it suitable for a wide range of situations. For learners at the A2 level, understanding and using 무척 effectively will significantly boost your ability to express yourself more nuancedly.
Unlike some other intensifiers that might have specific connotations or usage restrictions, 무척 is quite straightforward. It generally carries a neutral to positive tone, though its exact nuance will depend on the adjective or verb it modifies.
오늘은 날씨가 무척 덥네요. (Today the weather is very hot.)
In this example, 무척 intensifies '덥다' (to be hot), making it 'very hot.' Without 무척, the sentence would simply mean 'Today the weather is hot,' which is still correct but lacks the emphasis.
그 영화는 무척 재미있었어요. (That movie was very interesting.)
Here, 무척 emphasizes '재미있다' (to be interesting/fun), turning it into 'very interesting.' It helps convey a stronger positive reaction to the movie.
One key point to remember is that 무척, as an adverb, typically comes before the verb, adjective, or adverb it modifies. This is a common pattern for adverbs in Korean, so if you can remember this basic placement, you'll be on the right track.
Let's look at a few more examples to solidify your understanding:
이 책은 무척 어려워요. (This book is very difficult.) - Expressing a high degree of difficulty.
저는 그 사람을 무척 좋아해요. (I like that person very much.) - Expressing strong affection.
그녀는 무척 열심히 공부했어요. (She studied very hard.) - Intensifying the adverb '열심히' (hard).
As you can see, '무척' is a simple yet powerful adverb that can add significant depth to your Korean sentences. Mastering its use will help you communicate more naturally and effectively. Start incorporating it into your daily practice, and you'll notice a positive difference in your Korean expression.
§ Understanding 무척 (mucheok)
무척 (mucheok) is an adverb that means "very much" or "greatly." It's used to emphasize the degree of an adjective or another adverb. Think of it like "very," "really," or "extremely" in English. It adds intensity to whatever it modifies.
- Korean Word
- 무척 (mucheok)
- Part of Speech
- Adverb
- Definition
- Very much; greatly; extremely; really.
§ Basic Usage with Adjectives
You'll most often find 무척 placed directly before an adjective to intensify its meaning. It works just like "very" in English. Here are some examples:
- 무척 + 예쁘다 (pretty) = 무척 예쁘다 (very pretty)
- 무척 + 좋다 (good) = 무척 좋다 (very good)
- 무척 + 어렵다 (difficult) = 무척 어렵다 (very difficult)
이 케이크는 무척 맛있어요. (This cake is very delicious.)
그 영화는 무척 슬펐어요. (That movie was very sad.)
시험이 무척 어려웠어요. (The exam was very difficult.)
§ Using 무척 with Verbs (through Adverbialization)
While 무척 directly modifies adjectives, you can also use it with verbs by turning the verb into an adverbial form, typically with ~게. However, for most common verbs, 무척 will often be used with an adjective that describes the state or feeling related to the verb.
For example, instead of saying "I very much like it" directly with the verb "like" (좋아하다), you might say "I like it very much" using an adjective or a more natural adverbial phrase. But if you want to emphasize the *degree* of an action, you could attach it to an adverb that modifies the verb.
저는 그 소식을 듣고 무척 기뻤어요. (I was very happy to hear that news.)
Here, 무척 modifies 기뻤어요 (was happy), which is an adjective, not directly a verb of action.
§ Position in a Sentence
무척 is an adverb, so it typically comes before the word it modifies. In Korean, this means it will usually appear before the adjective or adverb it's emphasizing.
오늘 날씨가 무척 추워요. (The weather is very cold today.)
§ Examples for Practice
Let's look at a few more examples to get comfortable with 무척:
저는 그 사람을 무척 존경합니다. (I greatly respect that person.)
Here, 무척 modifies 존경합니다 (respect), which is a verb. It emphasizes the degree of respect. This is a good example of how 무척 can directly modify verbs, especially those that express feelings or mental states, conveying "greatly" or "very much so."
그 소설은 무척 흥미로웠어요. (That novel was very interesting.)
이번 프로젝트는 무척 중요해요. (This project is very important.)
In these examples, you can see that 무척 consistently comes before the adjective or verb it's intensifying. Keep practicing using it in different contexts, and you'll get the hang of it quickly!

§ Where you actually hear this word
You'll encounter 무척 in a variety of situations. Here are some common contexts:
- At Work: When discussing work performance, project status, or expressing gratitude.
- At School: When talking about how difficult a test was, how much you enjoyed a class, or how much you studied.
- In the News: News reports often use 무척 to emphasize the severity of a situation, the extent of damage, or the importance of an event.
§ Work Examples
In a professional setting, 무척 can be used to describe the intensity of work or feelings related to it.
이번 프로젝트는 무척 중요합니다. (This project is very important.)
그는 일처리가 무척 빠릅니다. (He handles work very quickly.)

By actively listening for and using 무척, you'll sound more natural and expressive in Korean. Keep practicing!
§ Understanding '무척' and Its Nuances
When you're learning Korean, words like '무척' (mu-cheok) that mean "very much" or "greatly" are super useful. But because English has many ways to express intensity (very, really, extremely, highly, quite), it's easy to misuse '무척' if you just try to do a one-to-one translation. Let's look at how to use '무척' correctly and avoid some common pitfalls.
§ Mistake 1: Using '무척' with Every Adjective/Adverb
The most common mistake is thinking '무척' can replace '정말' (jeong-mal) or '아주' (a-ju) in every situation. While they all mean "very," their usage can differ slightly based on context and natural flow.
For example, while you *can* say '무척 예뻐요' (mu-cheok ye-ppeo-yo - It's very pretty), '정말 예뻐요' often sounds more natural in casual conversation. '무척' is often preferred in written contexts or when you want to express a stronger, more profound sense of 'very'.
그 책은 무척 흥미로웠어요. (That book was very interesting.)
Here, '무척' fits well because "interesting" can be felt deeply. However, if you're just describing the weather as "very nice," '아주 좋아요' or '정말 좋아요' might be more common.
§ Mistake 2: Overusing '무척' in Negative Sentences
While '무척' can appear in negative sentences, it's not always the most natural choice. It tends to emphasize a strong degree, which can sound a bit awkward with certain negative expressions.
- Incorrect Example
- 저는 그 영화가 무척 재미없었어요. (I found that movie very not interesting.)
While grammatically correct, this sounds a little clunky. A more natural way to say this would be:
저는 그 영화가 정말 재미없었어요. (I found that movie really boring.)
Or, if you want to emphasize the degree of boredom:
저는 그 영화가 아주 재미없었어요. (I found that movie very boring.)
When expressing strong negative feelings or descriptions, other adverbs might fit better. Think about words like '너무' (neo-mu - too, excessively) in certain contexts, though '너무' also has its own specific usage rules.
§ Mistake 3: Confusing '무척' with Frequency Adverbs
'무척' is about *degree* or *intensity*, not *frequency*. Sometimes learners mistakenly use it when they mean "very often."
- Incorrect Example
- 저는 무척 그 카페에 가요. (I very much go to that cafe.)
This sentence doesn't make sense because '무척' describes how much you like going or how much something related to the cafe is. If you want to say you go there often, you need a frequency adverb.
저는 그 카페에 자주 가요. (I often go to that cafe.)
Always remember that '무척' modifies adjectives or other adverbs to intensify their meaning. It tells you *how much* or *to what extent*, not *how often*.
§ Mistake 4: Not Considering the Emotional Weight
'무척' often carries a sense of earnestness or a strong internal feeling. It's great for expressing deep appreciation, worry, or joy.
도와주셔서 무척 감사합니다. (Thank you very much for helping.)
In this context, '무척' conveys a sincere and deep gratitude. It adds a bit more weight than just '정말 감사합니다'.
- It's excellent for expressing strong emotions or states:
저는 그 소식에 무척 놀랐어요. (I was greatly surprised by that news.)
- It works well with descriptive adjectives that allow for a high degree:
그녀는 무척 현명한 사람이에요. (She is a very wise person.)
By paying attention to these common mistakes and considering the nuance of '무척', you'll be able to use it more accurately and naturally in your Korean conversations and writing.
§ What 무척 Means
- DEFINITION
- The Korean adverb 무척 (mu-cheok) means "very much" or "greatly." You use it to emphasize the degree of an adjective or verb. Think of it like "really" or "extremely" in English.
§ How to Use 무척
You can place 무척 before the adjective or verb you want to emphasize. It's a versatile word that fits in many situations where you want to express a strong degree.
그 영화는 무척 재미있었어요. (That movie was very interesting.)
저는 그 소식을 듣고 무척 기뻤어요. (I was greatly happy to hear that news.)
오늘은 무척 추워요. (It's very cold today.)
§ 무척 vs. Very Similar Words
Korean has several adverbs that mean "very" or "much." While they are often interchangeable, there are subtle differences and common usages. Let's look at some of the most common ones and how 무척 fits in.
- 아주 (a-ju): This is probably the most common and versatile "very." It can be used with almost any adjective or verb. It's a neutral and widely accepted choice.
이 음식은 아주 맛있어요. (This food is very delicious.)
- 정말 (jeong-mal): This translates to "really" or "truly." It adds a sense of sincerity or emphasis that something is genuinely true or of a high degree.
그 소설은 정말 감동적이었어요. (That novel was really moving.)
- 너무 (neo-mu): While it means "too much," it's very often used informally to mean "very" or "so." However, traditionally, it carries a slight nuance of being *excessive* or *over the top*, even if used positively.
너무 예뻐요! (It's so pretty! / It's too pretty!) - *Context matters here.*
- 굉장히 (gwang-jang-hi): This means "extremely" or "remarkably." It often suggests a higher degree of intensity than 무척 or 아주.
그 시험은 굉장히 어려웠어요. (That exam was extremely difficult.)
§ When to Choose 무척
무척 is often used to express a strong, heartfelt degree of feeling or state. It can convey a slightly more emotional or personal emphasis compared to the more neutral 아주. It also sounds a bit softer and perhaps more polite than 너무 in some contexts, especially when you want to avoid the potential negative connotation of "too much."
Consider 무척 when you want to say something is "very much" or "greatly" in a way that feels natural and expresses a genuine sentiment without being overly dramatic like 굉장히.
Wusstest du?
While '무척' and '아주' both mean 'very,' '무척' often carries a slightly more emphatic or emotional tone, as if the speaker is genuinely impressed or affected.
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing the 'ㅊ' as 'ch' at the beginning of the second syllable, rather than a softer, unreleased 'k' sound for the final 'ck' in '무척'.

neutralLeicht verwechselbar
Like 무척, 아주 also means 'very' or 'quite'. Both are common adverbs used to intensify adjectives and other adverbs. Learners often struggle to differentiate when to use one over the other.
While often interchangeable, 아주 can feel slightly more neutral or broadly applicable for general intensity. 무척 tends to carry a stronger sense of 'very much so' or 'greatly', sometimes with a nuance of feeling or emotion.
이 음식은 아주 맛있어요. (This food is very delicious.) vs. 저는 그 영화를 무척 재미있게 봤어요. (I watched that movie with great enjoyment.)
정말 means 'really' or 'truly' and is another common intensifier. It can be used similarly to 무척 and 아주, leading to confusion about which to choose.
정말 often implies a sense of genuineness or authenticity, or can be used to express surprise or strong confirmation. While it intensifies, it also verifies. 무척 focuses more purely on the degree of intensity.
그 소식은 정말 놀라웠어요. (That news was truly surprising.) vs. 저는 그 소식에 무척 놀랐어요. (I was greatly surprised by that news.)
너무 means 'too' or 'too much'. Learners frequently misuse 너무 instead of other intensifiers like 무척 because it's a very common and strong intensifier in spoken Korean.
Traditionally, 너무 carries a negative connotation, meaning 'excessively' or 'to an undesirable degree'. While in modern colloquial Korean it's often used neutrally for 'very', it's safer for learners to stick to 무척 or 아주 for positive or neutral 'very'.
이 신발은 너무 비싸요. (These shoes are too expensive.) vs. 저는 그 선물을 무척 좋아해요. (I like that gift very much.)
굉장히 means 'extremely' or 'tremendously'. It's a strong intensifier, much like 무척, making it hard to distinguish in many contexts.
굉장히 often implies a sense of grandeur, impressiveness, or an exceptional degree. It's a slightly more formal and often stronger intensifier than 무척, which can sometimes be used for more personal or emotional intensity.
그 배우는 연기를 굉장히 잘해요. (That actor acts tremendously well.) vs. 저는 그 배우의 연기를 무척 감동적으로 봤어요. (I found that actor's performance greatly moving.)
많이 means 'a lot' or 'much'. While it's used differently, learners can sometimes confuse it with adverbs like 무척 when trying to express a high quantity or degree.
많이 primarily quantifies, referring to a large amount or frequency. 무척 intensifies, referring to a high degree or extent of a quality or feeling. You wouldn't use 무척 to say 'eat a lot', but rather 'eat very much' (in terms of enjoyment).
저는 밥을 많이 먹었어요. (I ate a lot of rice.) vs. 저는 그 노래를 무척 좋아해요. (I like that song very much.)

So verwendest du es
무척 (much/greatly) adds emphasis like 'very' or 'really'. It's commonly used with adjectives and verbs to express a strong degree or intensity. Here are some examples: * 무척 피곤해요. (I'm very tired.) * 그는 무척 잘생겼어요. (He's very handsome.) * 어머니가 무척 보고 싶어요. (I miss my mother very much.) * 여행이 무척 재미있었어요. (The trip was really fun.) Notice how it usually comes before the adjective or verb it modifies.
A common mistake is confusing 무척 with 너무 (too much). While both express intensity, 너무 often carries a negative connotation, implying something is excessive or undesirable. For example: * 너무 더워요. (It's too hot.) — This implies discomfort. * 무척 더워요. (It's very hot.) — This is a neutral statement about the temperature. Another mistake is trying to use 무척 directly before a noun. It modifies adjectives and verbs, not nouns. If you want to say 'very good food,' you'd say '아주 좋은 음식' or '정말 좋은 음식,' not '무척 좋은 음식.'

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenYou can use 무척 before an adjective or another adverb to intensify its meaning. For example, you can say 무척 예쁘다 (very pretty) or 무척 빨리 (very fast).
Both 무척 and 아주 mean 'very.' 아주 is generally more common in everyday spoken Korean. 무척 can sometimes feel a bit stronger or more emphatic, and it's also often used in written Korean or more formal contexts.
Yes, you can use 무척 with verbs, but it often modifies an adverb that describes the verb. For example, instead of saying 무척 먹다 (which sounds a bit unnatural), you might say 무척 많이 먹다 (eat very much) or 무척 잘하다 (do very well).
무척 is generally considered to be a polite and versatile word. It's not overly formal, but it can lend a slightly more refined tone compared to some other 'very' adverbs. You can use it in both formal and informal settings, but it's more prevalent in written Korean or situations where you want to emphasize something strongly.
Yes, a very common phrase is 무척 감사합니다 (thank you very much) or 무척 고맙습니다 (thank you very much). You might also hear 무척 보고 싶다 (miss you very much).
Absolutely! 무척 is great for expressing strong emotions. For instance, 무척 기쁘다 (very happy), 무척 슬프다 (very sad), or 무척 화나다 (very angry) all convey intense feelings.
No, 무척 itself doesn't carry any negative connotations. Its meaning is simply 'very' or 'greatly.' The overall meaning depends on the adjective or adverb it modifies. For example, 무척 어렵다 (very difficult) is neutral, while 무척 나쁘다 (very bad) would be negative because of '나쁘다' (bad).
While it's not strictly 'wrong,' using any single intensifier like 무척 too frequently in a short period can make your speech sound repetitive. It's good to vary your vocabulary with other similar words like 아주, 정말, or 너무 to make your Korean sound more natural.
The pronunciation of 무척 is [mu-cheok]. The '무' sounds like 'moo' in English, and '척' sounds like 'chuk' in 'chuck' with a slightly softer 'ch' sound than in English. Remember to pay attention to the final 'k' sound in '척'.
You generally don't use 무척 directly with nouns in the same way you might say 'very much a man.' Instead, you'd use it to modify an adjective or adverb that describes the noun. For example, instead of 무척 사람, you'd say 무척 좋은 사람 (a very good person).

다음 중 '무척'과 바꿔 쓸 수 있는 단어는 무엇입니까?
'무척'과 '아주'는 모두 'very' 또는 'very much'를 의미하는 부사로, 서로 바꿔 사용할 수 있습니다.
다음 문장 중 '무척'의 사용이 어색한 것은 무엇입니까?
'무척'은 주로 긍정적이거나 강한 감정, 노력 등을 강조할 때 사용됩니다. '키가 작다'와 같이 단순히 사실을 묘사하는 경우 '아주'나 '정말'이 더 자연스럽습니다.
빈칸에 들어갈 가장 적절한 단어는 무엇입니까? '나는 오랜만에 친구를 만나서 ___ 반가웠다.'
오랜만에 친구를 만났을 때의 강한 반가움을 표현하는 데 '무척'이 가장 적절합니다.
'무척'은 '조금'과 비슷한 의미를 가진다.
'무척'은 'very much' 또는 'greatly'를 의미하는 반면, '조금'은 'a little'을 의미하므로 서로 반대되는 의미입니다.
'무척'은 주로 동사나 형용사를 꾸며주는 부사로 사용된다.
'무척'은 뒤에 오는 동사나 형용사의 정도를 강조하는 부사입니다. 예를 들어, '무척 예쁘다', '무척 어렵다'처럼 사용됩니다.
다음 문장에서 '무척'은 올바르게 사용되었다: '그는 무척 숙제를 했다.' (He very much did his homework.)
'무척'은 행위의 정도나 감정을 강조할 때 사용하며, 단순히 '숙제를 했다'는 행위 자체에는 어색합니다. '무척 열심히 숙제를 했다'와 같이 쓰여야 자연스럽습니다.
