Phrase in 30 Seconds

A formal, clinical way to say 'drink water,' used primarily in health, medical, or fitness contexts.

  • Means: To biologically intake water for health purposes.
  • Used in: Medical advice, news reports, and fitness tracking apps.
  • Don't confuse: With '마시다' (to drink), which is for casual social settings.
🏥 + 💧 + 👄 = {섭취|攝取} (Intake)

Explanation at your level:

This is a very formal way to say 'drink water.' At this level, you should just use '물 마셔요.' You might see '섭취' on a health poster, but you don't need to say it yet. Just remember it means 'drinking for health.'
You will see this word in doctor's offices or on health apps. It is a formal word for 'intake.' While '마시다' is for fun or thirst, '섭취하다' is for your body's health. It's good to recognize it in reading.
As an intermediate learner, you should start using this in formal writing or when discussing health. It shows you understand the difference between casual actions and biological processes. It's commonly used with '충분한' (enough) and '꾸준히' (consistently).
This collocation is essential for professional contexts. You should be able to distinguish between '섭취' (general intake), '복용' (medication), and '음용' (drinking water quality). Using this correctly in a presentation about wellness demonstrates high register awareness.
At this level, you should analyze the Sino-Korean roots {攝|섭} and {取|취}. This allows you to understand related terms like '섭생' (regimen) or '취득' (acquisition). You should use this phrase fluently in medical, nutritional, or biological discourses without hesitation.
Mastery involves understanding the sociolinguistic nuances of choosing '섭취하다' over '마시다' to establish authority or clinical distance. You can discuss the physiological implications of water intake using this terminology in high-level academic or policy-making environments.

Koreans often drink warm water or barley tea (boricha) for health. In medical contexts, '물을 {섭취|攝取}하다' often implies drinking pure, warm water to aid digestion. The 'Water Reminder' apps are huge in Korea. They use the term '수분 {섭취|攝取}' to make the habit feel like a scientific goal to be achieved. In traditional Korean medicine, the timing of water intake is crucial. Practitioners use formal terms to explain how water 'seop-chwi' affects the body's 'Gi' (energy). In Korean offices, having a large tumbler for water 'seop-chwi' is a common sight, reflecting a culture that values self-management and health even while busy.

French high

S'hydrater / Ingérer de l'eau

French reflexive verbs are more common for this than the Korean active '하다' form.

German moderate

Wasser zu sich nehmen

German doesn't have a single verb that perfectly matches the 'Sino-Korean' clinical feel of '섭취'.

Japanese high

水を摂取する (Mizu o sesshu suru)

Almost no difference; the usage patterns are nearly identical due to shared linguistic history.

Arabic moderate

تناول الماء (Tanawul al-ma')

The Arabic verb 'tanawul' is also used for eating, whereas '섭취' is more clinical.

Chinese high

摄取水分 (Shèqǔ shuǐfèn)

Chinese often uses '水分' (moisture) more frequently than just '水' (water) in this collocation.

Portuguese high

Ingerir água

Similar to Spanish, 'hidratar-se' is also a very strong competitor in fitness contexts.

Easily Confused

물을 섭취하다 در مقابل 물을 먹다

Learners often use '먹다' (to eat) for water because it's common in casual Korean.

While '물 먹다' is okay with friends, '물을 {섭취|攝取}하다' is for health contexts, and '물을 마시다' is the standard neutral form.

물을 섭취하다 در مقابل 수분을 섭취하다

Learners mix up '물' (water) and '수분' (moisture/hydration).

'물' is the liquid itself; '수분' is the chemical/biological component. They are often interchangeable in health contexts.
