When you're out with friends or at a restaurant in Korea, you'll often hear "한 잔." Literally meaning "one glass" or "one cup," it's a common phrase used to suggest having a drink together.
It doesn't always refer to just one serving; it's more of an invitation to share a beverage, often alcoholic, but can also be used for coffee or other drinks.
So, if someone asks "한 잔 할까요?" they're asking, "Shall we have a drink?"
It's a friendly and informal way to socialize and enjoy some time together over a beverage.
Alright, let’s talk about “한 잔” (han jan). This isn't just about counting cups; it's a super common phrase you'll hear all the time when people are talking about drinks, especially alcoholic ones, but not always. Think of it as “a drink” or “one serving.”
§ What 한 잔 means
- Korean Word
- 한 잔 (han jan)
- Definition
- One cup (of drink), a drink, a serving of a drink.
When you hear “한 잔,” it most often means a single glass of something. While it can literally mean ‘one cup,’ in social situations, it usually implies ‘let’s have a drink’ or ‘would you like a drink?’ It's really versatile.
§ At work and with colleagues
After work, it's very common for Koreans to go out for a drink with colleagues. This is where “한 잔” shines. It’s a casual invitation or suggestion.
퇴근하고 한 잔 할까요? (Should we have a drink after work?)
사장님, 오늘 저녁에 한 잔 대접하고 싶습니다. (Boss, I'd like to treat you to a drink tonight.)
§ In casual settings and with friends
With friends, “한 잔” is even more casual and common. It’s the go-to phrase for suggesting a get-together over drinks.
야, 오랜만에 한 잔 하자! (Hey, let's have a drink for old times' sake!)
오늘 밤에 한 잔 마시러 갈래? (Do you want to go for a drink tonight?)
§ When ordering or offering drinks
You'll also use “한 잔” when specifying a quantity, though it's less about literal cup counting and more about ordering a single serving.
여기 소주 한 잔 주세요. (Please give me one glass of soju.)
커피 한 잔 하실래요? (Would you like a cup of coffee?)
§ Common variations and related phrases
You'll often hear “한 잔” used with other verbs or particles to make common social expressions:
- 한 잔 하다 (han jan ha-da): To have a drink. This is probably the most common way you'll hear it.
- 한 잔 마시다 (han jan ma-si-da): To drink a single serving/cup.
- 한 잔 사다 (han jan sa-da): To buy someone a drink.
제가 한 잔 살게요. (I'll buy you a drink.)
So, next time you're in Korea, don't hesitate to suggest “한 잔 할까요?” You'll sound like a local!
§ Don't Confuse 한 잔 with Other Counters
When you're learning Korean, it's easy to get mixed up with all the different counting words, or 'counters.' The word 한 잔 specifically means 'one cup' and is used for drinks. Don't use it for other items!
- DEFINITION
- It's only for beverages.
For example, if you want one apple, you wouldn't say 사과 한 잔 (apple one cup). That sounds really strange! You'd say 사과 한 개 (apple one thing). Each counter has its own job, so try to keep them straight.
커피 한 잔 주세요. (Please give me one cup of coffee.)
물 한 잔 마시고 싶어요. (I want to drink one cup of water.)
§ Using Native vs. Sino-Korean Numbers
This is a big one for many learners! Korean has two sets of numbers: native Korean numbers and Sino-Korean numbers. When you're using counters like 잔 (cup), you almost always use the native Korean numbers.
- DEFINITION
- Native Korean numbers are used with most counters.
So, for 'one cup,' you say 한 잔 (from 하나, 'one' native). For two cups, it's 두 잔 (from 둘, 'two' native). For three cups, it's 세 잔 (from 셋, 'three' native), and for four cups, it's 네 잔 (from 넷, 'four' native).
After four, it becomes easier because the native numbers take their full form, like 다섯 잔 (five cups), 여섯 잔 (six cups), and so on. The common mistake is using Sino-Korean numbers, like 일 잔 (wrong for 'one cup'). While Koreans would likely understand you, it sounds unnatural and is grammatically incorrect.
Correct: 커피 두 잔 (two cups of coffee)
Incorrect: 커피 이 잔
저녁 식사 후에 와인 두 잔을 마셨어요. (I drank two cups of wine after dinner.)
§ Omitting the Number for 'One'
Sometimes, you might hear or see just 잔 used on its own, and it's understood to mean 'one cup.' This usually happens when the context makes it clear that only one is being discussed. However, as a learner, it's safer to always include 한 (one) to avoid any confusion.
- DEFINITION
- While '잔' can sometimes imply 'one cup,' it's best to explicitly say '한 잔'.
For example, if a server asks 'How many cups?' and you simply say '잔' it might be confusing. Saying 한 잔 is always clear and polite.
맥주 한 잔 주세요. (Please give me one cup of beer.)
Dato curioso
The word '잔' (jan) literally means 'cup' or 'glass.' When combined with '한' (han), meaning 'one,' it forms '한 잔' (han jan), which specifically refers to 'one cup' of a beverage. This construction is common for counting units in Korean.
Gramática que debes saber
Counters like '-잔' (cup) are attached directly to numbers to indicate quantity. When used with native Korean numbers, the number itself might change form. For 'one', '하나' becomes '한'.
물 한 잔 주세요. (Please give me one cup of water.)
The particle '-에' can be used with a number and a counter to indicate a frequency or rate. For example, how many times per day or how much per serving.
하루에 커피 한 잔 마셔요. (I drink one cup of coffee a day.)
When ordering a single drink, '한 잔' can often be used by itself to imply 'one cup of [the drink already mentioned or understood]'.
맥주 한 잔이요. (One cup of beer, please.)
'-한 잔' can also be used idiomatically to suggest 'a drink' or 'a round of drinks' with friends, often implying alcoholic beverages.
우리 한 잔 할까? (Shall we have a drink?)
When referring to 'a drink' in a general sense, not specifically one cup, other expressions like '음료수' (beverage) are used. '한 잔' specifically implies the quantity of one cup.
음료수 한 잔 주세요. (Please give me one cup of a beverage.)

Cómo usarlo
When ordering a drink like coffee, juice, or water, you can use 한 잔 (han jan) to mean 'one cup.' It's often used with beverages served in a cup or glass. You can also specify the drink, like 커피 한 잔 (keopi han jan) for 'one cup of coffee.'
A common mistake is using 한 잔 for solid food items or for quantities that aren't typically measured in cups. For instance, you wouldn't say 사과 한 잔 (sagwa han jan) for 'one apple.' For solid items, you'd typically use counting units like 개 (gae) for general items or others specific to the item. Remember, 한 잔 is primarily for beverages.

Preguntas frecuentes
10 preguntas한 잔 (han jan) literally means 'one glass' or 'one cup.' It's primarily used when referring to drinks, indicating a single serving or unit of a beverage. Think of it like saying 'a drink' or 'a round' in English.
Yes, absolutely! You can use 한 잔 for pretty much any liquid you consume from a glass or cup. Coffee, tea, water, juice, alcohol – it all works. For example, '커피 한 잔' means 'a cup of coffee'.
Yes, it's perfectly polite and very common when ordering a single drink. For instance, if you're at a cafe and want one coffee, you could say '커피 한 잔 주세요' (Please give me one cup of coffee).
Great question! You'd change the number. For 'two cups,' you'd say 두 잔 (du jan). For 'three cups,' it's 세 잔 (se jan). The pattern is [number] + 잔.
While its primary meaning is a single drink, sometimes 한 잔 하자 (han jan haja) can be used more broadly to suggest 'let's go for a drink' or 'let's have a round,' implying a social occasion rather than strictly one glass. But the core meaning remains about beverages.
No, 한 잔 specifically refers to a single serving *of a drink*. If you want to talk about an empty glass, you'd just say '컵 (keop)' which means 'cup' or 'glass'.
This is a subtle but important point. While '컵 (keop)' means 'cup,' 한 잔 is generally preferred when referring to a *serving* of a drink. '한 컵' might be used more when talking about an actual measuring cup or the physical object of a cup, but for ordering or offering a drink, 한 잔 is the natural choice.
No, 한 잔 is exclusively for drinks. For food, you'd use different counting words. For example, for 'one plate' of food, you might say '한 접시 (han jeopsi)'.
A very common one is: '맥주 한 잔 주세요' (Maekju han jan juseyo) which means 'Please give me a beer' (literally, 'one cup of beer please').
한 잔 itself is neutral in formality. Its formality depends on the verb and particles you use with it. For example, '한 잔 할까요?' (Han jan halkkayo?) 'Shall we have a drink?' is generally polite, whereas '한 잔 하자!' (Han jan haja!) 'Let's have a drink!' is more casual.
