보조
보조 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 보조 means 'assistance' or 'auxiliary,' acting as secondary support for a main function.
- It is commonly found in terms like '보조 배터리' (power bank) and '보조금' (subsidy).
- Grammatically, it functions as a noun, but can become a verb with '하다' or '받다'.
- It is more formal than '도움' and implies a structured, secondary role in a system.
The Korean word 보조 (bo-jo) is a versatile noun that primarily translates to 'assistance,' 'support,' 'auxiliary,' or 'subsidy' in English. At its core, it refers to the act of helping or supplementing a main function, person, or entity to ensure success or efficiency. It is not just a general 'help' (like the word 도움), but rather a structured or secondary form of support that accompanies a primary action. In modern Korean society, you will encounter this word in contexts ranging from technology (auxiliary devices) to government policy (financial subsidies) and even in daily errands (assistant roles).
- Functional Assistance
- This refers to a secondary tool or person that makes a main task easier. For example, a '보조 교사' (assistant teacher) supports the main teacher, or a '보조 배터리' (power bank) supports the primary battery of a phone.
핸드폰 배터리가 없어서 보조 배터리를 빌렸어요. (My phone battery was dead, so I borrowed a power bank.)
The nuance of '보조' implies that there is a '주' (main) element. Without the main element, the '보조' loses its primary purpose. This hierarchical relationship is key to understanding the word. For instance, in a business setting, a '보조 업무' (auxiliary task) is something done to support the main project goals. It is essential but secondary in nature. This distinction is vital for B1 level learners who are starting to differentiate between general verbs and more specific nouns that define roles and functions within a system.
- Financial Support
- In economics and government contexts, '보조' often appears as '보조금' (subsidy). This is money provided by the state or an organization to assist an individual or industry. It is a formal term used in news reports and official documents.
정부에서 중소기업에 보조금을 지급하기로 했습니다. (The government decided to provide subsidies to small and medium-sized enterprises.)
Furthermore, '보조' is used in physical therapy and sports. A '보조기' is a brace or an assistive device used to help someone walk or recover from an injury. Here, the '보조' acts as a physical extension of the body's capability. In a conversational setting, if you are helping someone carry a heavy box, you might say "제가 보조해 드릴게요" (I will assist you/help you out), though '도와줄게요' is more common for casual help. Using '보조' adds a layer of professionalism or specific task-oriented focus to your speech.
- Collaborative Syncing
- Another interesting usage is '보조를 맞추다,' which means to keep pace with someone or to coordinate efforts. This is frequently used in metaphors about teamwork or international relations.
팀원들과 보조를 맞춰서 프로젝트를 진행하세요. (Proceed with the project while keeping pace with your team members.)
In summary, '보조' is a comprehensive term for anything that functions as a support system. Whether it is a person (assistant), a tool (auxiliary device), or money (subsidy), it always implies a relationship where one thing helps another reach its full potential. Understanding this word allows you to navigate professional environments, understand technical manuals, and engage with Korean news more effectively.
Using 보조 correctly requires understanding its grammatical flexibility. It can function as a standalone noun, part of a compound noun, or be turned into a verb by adding '하다' (to assist) or '받다' (to receive assistance). Because it is a Sino-Korean word (Hanja: 補助), it carries a slightly more formal or technical weight than the native Korean word '도움'.
- As a Noun (Support/Auxiliary)
- When used as a noun, it often modifies another noun directly to indicate its auxiliary nature. Common examples include 보조 배터리 (auxiliary battery), 보조 역할 (supporting role), and 보조 수단 (auxiliary means).
이 기계는 보조 장치 없이는 작동하지 않습니다. (This machine does not operate without an auxiliary device.)
When you want to describe the act of assisting, you use 보조하다. This is common in professional descriptions. For example, a medical assistant '보조한다' the doctor during surgery. It implies a specific, often technical, type of help. If you are receiving help, you use 보조를 받다. This is frequently used when discussing government aid or physical support devices.
- As a Verb (보조하다 / 보조받다)
- Use '보조하다' for the active role of assisting and '보조받다' for the passive role of being assisted, especially in financial or mechanical contexts.
그는 수술 중에 의사를 보조했습니다. (He assisted the doctor during the surgery.)
In administrative Korean, '보조' is the root for many compound terms. '보조금' (subsidy) is perhaps the most common. You will see phrases like '보조금을 신청하다' (apply for a subsidy) or '보조금을 횡령하다' (misappropriate subsidies) in the news. Another important phrase is '보조를 맞추다' (to sync up/keep pace). This is an idiomatic expression used to describe people or groups working in harmony.
For B1 learners, it's important to recognize that '보조' is rarely used for emotional support (where '위로' or '지지' are better) or casual favors (where '도움' is used). It is almost always functional, financial, or mechanical. If you are describing a 'sidekick' in a movie, you might call them a '보조 캐릭터' (supporting character), though '조연' is the more specific term for actors.
- Grammatical Patterns
- Noun + 보조 (e.g., 생활 보조 - living assistance)
보조 + Noun (e.g., 보조 자료 - supplementary materials)
보조를 맞추다 (to keep pace/coordinate)
발표를 위해 보조 자료를 준비했습니다. (I prepared supplementary materials for the presentation.)
Lastly, consider the tone. Using '보조' in a workplace makes you sound more professional. Instead of saying "I'll help you with the paperwork," saying "서류 작업을 보조해 드릴까요?" (Shall I assist with the paperwork?) sounds like you are offering professional support within your role. This distinction is what elevates your Korean from basic to intermediate-professional levels.
You will encounter the word 보조 in a variety of real-world settings in Korea. Understanding these contexts will help you recognize the word's nuances instantly. From the tech-heavy streets of Gangnam to the administrative offices of a City Hall, '보조' is everywhere.
- 1. Technology and Gadgets
- If you walk into a Daiso or an electronics store like Hi-Mart, you will see '보조 배터리' (power banks) everywhere. This is arguably the most common daily use of the word. You might also hear about '보조 기억 장치' (auxiliary storage devices like external hard drives) in a computer repair shop.
"손님, 보조 배터리는 기내 반입만 가능합니다." (Customer, power banks are only allowed in carry-on luggage.)
In this context, '보조' acts as a safety net—it's the thing that saves you when your main resource fails. This is a very common theme in Korean tech culture, where efficiency and backup plans are highly valued.
- 2. Government and News
- If you watch the 9 o'clock news (KBS News 9), you will frequently hear '보조금' (subsidies). The government often discusses '청년 일자리 보조금' (youth job subsidies) or '전기차 보조금' (electric vehicle subsidies). This is a major part of Korean public discourse regarding the economy.
올해부터 전기차 보조금이 줄어든다고 합니다. (They say electric vehicle subsidies will decrease starting this year.)
Understanding this usage is crucial for anyone living in Korea who wants to apply for benefits, such as '육아 휴직 보조금' (childcare leave allowance/subsidy). It represents the state's role in 'supporting' the citizens' lives.
- 3. Medical and Health
- In pharmacies (약국) or hospitals (병원), you'll hear '건강기능보조제' (health functional supplements/vitamins). While people often just say '영양제' (nutrients), the formal term includes '보조제'. Additionally, a '보조기' is a medical brace or walker.
무릎이 안 좋아서 보조기를 착용하고 있어요. (My knee is bad, so I am wearing a brace.)
Finally, in the workplace, '보조' is used to describe roles. A '사무 보조' (office assistant) is a common part-time job (alba) for students. If you are hiring someone to help with basic tasks, you are looking for a '보조 인력' (auxiliary staff). This highlights the word's importance in the Korean labor market and professional hierarchy.
While 보조 is a common word, learners often confuse it with other terms for 'help' or use it in contexts where it sounds unnatural. Understanding these pitfalls will make your Korean sound more native and precise.
- 1. 보조 vs. 도움 (Help)
- The most common mistake is using '보조' for general, everyday help. If you help a friend move a chair, you say '도와주다'. If you say '보조하다', it sounds like you are a professional assistant or that the chair-moving is a complex technical operation. Use '도움' for general favors and '보조' for systematic or secondary support.
Wrong: 친구의 숙제를 보조했어요. (I 'assisted' my friend's homework - sounds like a formal job).
Right: 친구의 숙제를 도와줬어요. (I helped my friend with homework.)
Another mistake is confusing 보조 with 협조 (cooperation). '협조' is used when asking for someone's cooperation or compliance, often in a polite or official request (e.g., "Please cooperate with the investigation"). '보조' is about providing the actual means or secondary support to get a job done.
- 2. 보조 vs. 지원 (Support/Application)
- '지원' (ji-won) also means support, but it often implies backing someone up or providing resources (like 'backing' a candidate). '보조' is more about 'supplementing' or being 'auxiliary'. Also, '지원' can mean 'applying' for a job, which '보조' never does. However, '보조금' (subsidy) and '지원금' (support fund) are very similar, but '보조금' is the more specific legal/economic term for a subsidy.
Note: In the context of government money, 보조금 is usually a specific grant for a purpose, while 지원금 is a broader term for any financial support.
A third mistake involves the phrase '보조를 맞추다'. Learners sometimes forget the object marker '를' or use the wrong verb. It must be '맞추다' (to adjust/sync). Saying '보조를 하다' in the context of keeping pace is incorrect; that would just mean 'to assist'. Precision with these fixed expressions is key for B1 and B2 learners.
- 3. Overusing '보조' in Casual Speech
- Because '보조' is a Sino-Korean word, using it too much in casual conversation with friends can make you sound stiff or overly formal. Stick to '도움' or the verb '돕다' unless you are specifically talking about an auxiliary tool or a formal assistant role.
Finally, watch out for '보조' vs '보충' (supplement/replenish). '보충' is used when something is lacking and you need to fill it up (like '보충 수업' - supplementary class for students who missed something). '보조' is about helping the main thing function, not necessarily filling a gap of missing knowledge or items. Understanding these subtle differences will greatly improve your lexical precision.
To truly master 보조, you should compare it with its synonyms and related terms. Korean has many words for 'help' and 'support,' each with its own specific context and register.
- 도움 (Help/Aid)
- The most general term. It can be used for anything from helping someone with their bags to emotional support. Unlike '보조,' it doesn't imply a hierarchical or 'main-secondary' relationship.
- 지원 (Support/Backing)
- Often used for logistical or financial backing (e.g., '군사 지원' - military support). It suggests providing resources to help someone achieve a goal. It is broader than '보조금'.
Comparison: 보조 is often a component of a system, while 지원 is the provision of external help.
Another important word is 협조 (cooperation). While '보조' is about one-way or secondary help, '협조' implies two or more parties working together, often following a request. For example, '경찰 수사에 협조하다' (to cooperate with a police investigation). You wouldn't use '보조' here because you aren't an 'assistant' to the police, but a cooperator.
- 보완 (Supplement/Complement)
- This word is used when something has a weakness or a hole that needs to be filled. '보조' is about helping a function, while '보완' is about making something complete or perfect by adding what is missing.
Example: 계획의 단점을 보완하다. (To supplement/fix the shortcomings of a plan.)
In terms of physical objects, 부속 (attachment/part) is sometimes related. While '보조 장치' is an auxiliary device that helps the main machine, '부속품' are the actual parts or accessories that belong to it. '보조' implies a functional role, whereas '부속' implies a physical belonging.
- 조력 (Assistance/Helping hand)
- This is a very formal, literary term for 'help.' You might see it in historical dramas or high-level academic writing (e.g., '신의 조력' - divine intervention/help). It is much more elevated than the practical '보조'.
By learning these alternatives, you can choose the word that best fits the formality and specific nature of the help you are describing. '보조' remains the best choice for functional, secondary, and financial-subsidy contexts, making it an essential part of your intermediate Korean vocabulary kit.

Summary
The word 보조 focuses on 'supplementary support.' Use it when describing professional assistants, backup tools, or financial grants. Example: '보조 배터리 덕분에 핸드폰을 계속 쓸 수 있었어요' (Thanks to the power bank, I could keep using my phone).
- 보조 means 'assistance' or 'auxiliary,' acting as secondary support for a main function.
- It is commonly found in terms like '보조 배터리' (power bank) and '보조금' (subsidy).
- Grammatically, it functions as a noun, but can become a verb with '하다' or '받다'.
- It is more formal than '도움' and implies a structured, secondary role in a system.
