달성하다
달성하다 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Reaching a specific, measurable goal or target.
- Formal and professional tone; used in news and business.
- Often paired with numbers, percentages, and records.
- Implies successful completion after deliberate effort.
The Korean verb 달성하다 (dalseong-hada) is a sophisticated and powerful term used to describe the act of reaching a specific objective, target, or goal. Rooted in Hanja (Sino-Korean characters), it carries a sense of completion and success through deliberate effort. Unlike general words for 'success,' 달성하다 specifically implies that there was a pre-defined numeric target or a clear milestone that has now been touched or surpassed. It is the linguistic equivalent of crossing the finish line after a long marathon or hitting a sales quota that was set at the beginning of the quarter.
- Etymological Nuance
- The first character 달 (達) means 'to reach' or 'to arrive,' while the second character 성 (成) means 'to accomplish' or 'to become.' Together, they create a meaning of 'arriving at accomplishment.'
- Contextual Weight
- This word is frequently used in formal reports, news broadcasts, and professional settings. If you say you 'achieved' something using 달성하다, you are emphasizing the result and the fact that the result matches the initial plan.
"우리는 올해 수출 목표액을 조기에 달성했다." (We achieved our export target amount early this year.)
In everyday life, you might hear this in sports commentary when an athlete reaches a record number of goals or points. It conveys a sense of official recognition. For instance, a baseball player 'achieving' 1,000 hits is a '기록 달성' (record achievement). The word implies that the achievement is now a fixed fact in history.
"개인적인 목표를 달성하는 것은 자존감을 높여줍니다." (Achieving personal goals boosts self-esteem.)
- Common Objects
- 목표 (Goal)기록 (Record)수치 (Numerical Value)성과 (Result/Performance)
Using 달성하다 correctly requires understanding its grammatical behavior and its typical partners (collocations). As a transitive verb, it always takes an object marked by -을/를. Because it is a 'Hada' verb, it follows standard conjugation patterns but is rarely used in very casual, 'slangy' contexts. It maintains a level of dignity and formality.
1. Grammatical Construction
The basic structure is: [Subject] + [Object] + 을/를 + 달성하다. For example: '회사가 (Subject) 목표를 (Object) 달성했다 (Verb).'
- Past Tense: 달성했다 (Achieved) - Most common, as we usually talk about goals after they are met.
- Future/Intent: 달성하겠다 (Will achieve) - Common in speeches or New Year's resolutions.
- Noun Form: 달성 (Achievement/Attainment) - Used in headlines like '목표 달성!' (Goal achieved!).
2. Professional and Academic Contexts
In a business meeting, you wouldn't just say 'We did it.' You would say, '우리는 이번 분기 영업 이익 목표를 100% 달성했습니다.' This sounds professional and precise. In academic settings, it refers to reaching a certain level of proficiency or completing a research objective.
"토익 900점을 달성하기 위해 매일 공부해요."
(I study every day to achieve a TOEIC score of 900.)
3. Distinguishing from Synonyms
Learners often confuse 달성하다 with 성공하다 (to succeed) or 이루다 (to fulfill/achieve). Here is the breakdown:
- 성공하다
- General success. '사업에 성공하다' (Succeed in business). It doesn't need a specific number.
- 이루다
- Often used for dreams (꿈) or wishes. It has a more emotional, poetic feel.
- 달성하다
- Concrete, measurable, and objective. It's about hitting the mark.
You will encounter 달성하다 in specific environments where performance is measured. It is not a word you would typically use while chatting with friends about what you ate for lunch, but it is ubiquitous in the following scenarios:
1. The News and Business Reports
Economic news is the primary home for this word. Phrases like '수출 700억 달러 달성' (Achieving 70 billion dollars in exports) or '경제 성장률 달성' (Achieving economic growth rate) appear daily. It provides a sense of officiality and scale.
2. Sports Broadcasting
When a player reaches a milestone, the commentator will shout '기록 달성입니다!' (It's a record achievement!). Whether it's the number of home runs in baseball or goals in soccer, 달성하다 is the go-to verb for these historic moments.
"손흥민 선수가 프리미어리그 100호 골을 달성했습니다!"
(Son Heung-min has achieved his 100th Premier League goal!)
3. Workplace Performance Reviews
During annual evaluations (인사고과), employees discuss their '목표 달성률' (goal achievement rate). If you met all your KPIs, you would say you '목표를 달성했습니다'. This sounds much more professional than saying 'I did my work well.'
4. Government and Policy Announcements
Governments use this word to talk about social targets, such as '탄소 중립 달성' (Achieving carbon neutrality) or '고용률 달성' (Achieving employment rates). It implies a collective effort toward a national standard.
Even advanced learners sometimes misuse 달성하다 because it overlaps with other 'success' verbs. Avoiding these common pitfalls will make your Korean sound much more natural and precise.
1. Using it with Vague Goals
You cannot '달성' happiness or love in a general sense.
❌ 행복을 달성했어요. (Awkward)
✅ 행복을 찾았어요 / 행복해졌어요. (Natural)
달성하다 requires a concrete destination. If you can't measure it or define its end-point clearly, don't use 달성하다.
2. Confusing with '성공하다' (Intransitive vs. Transitive)
성공하다 is often used with the particle -에 (to succeed in something).
달성하다 is used with -을/를 (to achieve something).
❌ 목표에 달성하다. (Incorrect particle)
✅ 목표를 달성하다. (Correct)
3. Overusing it in Casual Conversation
If you tell your friend, 'I achieved my goal of eating three apples today' using 달성하다, it sounds like you are giving a formal press conference. It's too heavy for minor daily tasks. For small personal wins, use '해내다' (to pull it off) or '다 하다' (to finish/do it all).
"오늘 운동 목표를 다 했어." (Natural casual)
"오늘 운동 목표를 달성했습니다." (Sounds like an athlete's interview)
4. Misapplying to Exams
As mentioned before, you don't 'achieve' an exam; you pass it.
❌ 시험을 달성하다.
✅ 시험에 합격하다.
However, you CAN '달성' a specific score on that exam.
Korean has a rich vocabulary for success and achievement. Understanding the subtle differences between 달성하다 and its synonyms will help you choose the right word for the right situation.
- 1. 성취하다 (Seong-chwi-hada)
- This is the closest synonym. While 달성 focuses on the target/number, 성취 focuses on the sense of accomplishment and the fulfillment of a purpose. You '성취' a great deed or a personal ambition.
- 2. 완수하다 (Wan-su-hada)
- This means 'to complete a mission or task.' It is often used in military or highly disciplined contexts. It implies finishing a given duty perfectly from start to finish.
- 3. 이루다 (I-ru-da)
- A native Korean word (not Hanja-based). It is very broad and can mean 'to achieve, to form, to constitute.' It is the most common word for 'making a dream come true' (꿈을 이루다).
- 4. 도달하다 (Do-dal-hada)
- Literally 'to arrive at.' It is used for physical locations but also for abstract levels or stages. '목표 수치에 도달하다' (To reach the target figure) is very similar to 달성하다 but emphasizes the arrival rather than the act of accomplishing.
