배달하다 در ۳۰ ثانیه

  • To carry and deliver goods, food, or mail to a specific person or place.
  • Commonly used for food delivery apps and postal services in Korea.
  • Distinguished from 'shipping' (배송) which is for long-distance parcel transport.
  • A key word for experiencing Korea's high-speed service culture.

The Korean verb 배달하다 (baedalhada) is a cornerstone of modern Korean life, representing the action of delivering goods, food, mail, or parcels from a point of origin to a specific destination. In a society known for its 'Pali-pali' (hurry-hurry) culture, this word encompasses much more than just the physical act of transport; it signifies convenience, speed, and the service-oriented nature of the Korean economy. When you use this word, you are describing the process where a person or service takes an item and brings it directly to a customer's doorstep or workplace. It is most commonly associated with food delivery, which is a massive industry in South Korea, but it also applies to newspapers, milk, and traditional mail services.

Core Meaning
To deliver; to carry and distribute items to recipients at their requested locations.
Daily Application
Used when ordering fried chicken, Chinese food, or using apps like Baedal Minjok to get groceries sent home.

점심에 피자를 배달하다 (To deliver pizza at lunch).

Understanding the nuances of 배달하다 requires looking at the objects it typically takes. While it can be used for mail, the more specific term for postal delivery is often '배달' in a general sense, but '우편물을 배달하다' is perfectly correct. In the context of the internet age, this word is frequently paired with '앱' (app) to form '배달 앱' (delivery app). The word is versatile enough to be used in formal business logistics as well as informal domestic settings. For example, a business might '배달하다' its products to a retail store, though '납품하다' (to supply/deliver goods for sale) might be used in more professional B2B contexts.

신문을 매일 아침 배달합니다 (I deliver the newspaper every morning).

Grammatical Structure
[Object] + 을/를 + 배달하다. The subject is usually the person or company providing the service.

Historically, the term comes from Hanja (Chinese characters), where '배' (配) means to distribute or match, and '달' (達) means to reach or arrive. Together, they form the concept of distributing items so they reach their intended destination. This linguistic root helps distinguish it from '운반하다' (to transport/carry), which focuses more on the physical movement of heavy objects rather than the distribution to specific people. In modern slang, you might hear people say '배달 시키다' (to cause/order delivery), which is the most common way for a consumer to express that they are ordering food to be brought to them.

택배 기사님이 물건을 배달하고 있어요 (The delivery driver is delivering the goods).

Using 배달하다 correctly involves understanding who is performing the action. In most cases, the subject is the delivery person (배달원), the company, or the service provider. If you are the customer, you usually use the causative form '배달시키다' (to have something delivered) or '배달을 주문하다' (to order delivery). However, when describing the service itself, 배달하다 is the standard verb. For instance, '이 식당은 배달해요' (This restaurant delivers) is a very common way to check for service availability.

Active Voice
The delivery driver delivers the food. (배달원이 음식을 배달합니다.)
Passive Voice
The food is being delivered. (음식이 배달되고 있습니다.)

우체국에서 편지를 배달해 주었습니다 (The post office delivered the letter for me).

When talking about the time or speed of delivery, you can use adverbs like '신속하게' (quickly), '정확하게' (accurately), or '늦게' (late). For example, '배달이 늦게 와서 음식이 식었어요' (The delivery came late, so the food got cold). Notice here that '배달' is used as a noun, which is very frequent. The verb form 배달하다 can also be used in the future tense to promise a delivery time: '30분 내로 배달하겠습니다' (We will deliver within 30 minutes).

우리는 신선한 우유를 집까지 배달합니다 (We deliver fresh milk to your house).

Common Objects
음식 (food), 택배 (parcel), 신문 (newspaper), 편지 (letter), 식재료 (ingredients).

In more complex sentences, you might use the connective '-어/아 주다' to indicate that the delivery is a service done for someone. '꽃을 배달해 주세요' (Please deliver the flowers [for me]). This adds a layer of politeness and clarifies the beneficiary of the action. You will also see this verb in the context of '배달료' (delivery fee) or '배달 사고' (delivery accident/error). If a package goes missing, you might say '배달하는 과정에서 문제가 생겼어요' (A problem occurred during the delivery process).

If you live in South Korea, you will hear 배달하다 or its noun form 배달 dozens of times a day. It is ubiquitous in urban environments. You'll hear it in apartment elevators when delivery workers are rushing to drop off parcels, in restaurants when the staff yells '배달 왔어요!' (The delivery [order] is here/ready), and on your smartphone through constant notifications from apps like Coupang, Baemin, or Yogiyo. The sound of a motorcycle engine in a residential neighborhood is the auditory equivalent of this word.

지금 음식을 배달하고 있으니 잠시만 기다려 주세요 (We are delivering the food now, so please wait a moment).

In dramas and movies, 배달하다 often sets the scene for a busy, modern lifestyle. A character might come home tired and say '배달 시켜 먹자' (Let's order delivery and eat). This reflect's Korea's 'delivery culture' where almost anything can be brought to you at any time. You'll also hear it in news reports discussing the gig economy, the rights of delivery workers (배달 노동자), or the environmental impact of delivery packaging. In these contexts, the word takes on a more serious, socio-economic tone.

At the post office (우체국), you will hear staff asking '어디로 배달해 드릴까요?' (Where should we deliver this for you?). In logistics centers, the word is used technically to describe the final mile of the supply chain. Even in schools, students might talk about '우유 배달' (milk delivery) during their morning break. The word is so deeply ingrained that it is used by all age groups, from children waiting for a toy delivery to the elderly receiving their daily newspaper.

Cultural Nuance
The phrase '배달의 민족' (The Delivery Nation) is a play on words referring to the Korean people (the 'Baedal' people), highlighting how central delivery is to the national identity.

One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is confusing 배달하다 with 배송하다 (baesonghada). While both mean 'to deliver,' 배송하다 is typically used for shipping goods over long distances via courier services (like Amazon or Coupang), whereas 배달하다 is used for local delivery, especially food, milk, or newspapers. If you tell a restaurant '배송해 주세요,' they will understand you, but it will sound very strange, as if you want them to ship the fried chicken via a logistics center.

Mistake 1: Wrong Verb for Shipping
Using 배달하다 for international shipping. Use 발송하다 or 배송하다 instead.
Mistake 2: Subject-Verb Agreement
Saying 'I delivered the food' when you mean 'I ordered the food.' Correct: '배달시켰어요' (I ordered/had it delivered).

Wrong: 택배를 배달하고 싶어요 (when you want to send a package).
Right: 택배를 보내고 싶어요 (I want to send a package).

Another common error is using 배달하다 when you mean 'to pass something to someone' (전달하다). 배달하다 implies a professional or systematic delivery service. If you are just handing a book to a friend, use 전달하다 (to pass/convey) or simply 주다 (to give). Using 배달하다 in a personal context like that sounds like you are acting as a delivery professional. Additionally, learners often forget the object marker '을/를', which is essential for this transitive verb.

To sound more natural in Korean, you should know when to use synonyms of 배달하다. While it is the most common word for 'delivery,' other words provide more specific context. For example, 배송하다 is the standard for e-commerce and shipping. When you buy clothes online, the status will say '배송 중' (shipping in progress), not '배달 중' (though '배달 중' is sometimes used for the final local leg of the journey).

배송하다 (Baesonghada)
Used for shipping products, parcels, and online shopping items. Focuses on the logistics process.
전달하다 (Jeondalhada)
To convey, pass on, or deliver a message or a small item to someone. More personal or communicative.
운반하다 (Unbanhada)
To transport or carry heavy goods or materials. Focuses on the physical labor of moving things.

메시지를 전달하다 (To deliver/convey a message).
가구를 운반하다 (To transport furniture).

In formal or official documents, you might encounter 송부하다 (to send/forward documents) or 교부하다 (to issue/deliver official papers like a certificate). These are much more formal than 배달하다. If you are talking about delivering a speech, use 연설하다 or 발표하다. For a baby's delivery, the word is 분만하다. Choosing the right word depends entirely on the object being delivered and the setting of the action.

نکته جالب

The word 'Baedal' (倍達) is also an ancient name for the Korean nation, unrelated to the Hanja for delivery, but modern Koreans love the pun, leading to the name of the famous app 'Baedal Minjok' (The Delivery Nation/The Baedal People).

Politeness

Always add '-해 주세요' when requesting a delivery to sound polite to staff.

Parcel Specifics

Passive Form

Use '배달되다' when the object is the subject. '제 피자가 배달되었나요?' (Has my pizza been delivered?)

سوالات متداول

10 سوال

Yes, '편지를 배달하다' is correct, especially when referring to the postman's job. However, if you are the one sending it, use '보내다'.

배달 is the general verb for delivery. 택배 refers specifically to parcel/courier services like FedEx or CJ Logistics.

It sounds a bit unnatural. '음식 배달' is the standard term for food delivery.

You can ask '배달료 무료예요?' or '무료 배달 돼요?'

No, it's strictly for physical items. For digital files, use '보내다' or '전송하다'.

No. In Korean, 'to deliver a baby' is '아이를 낳다' or the medical term '분만하다'.

You can say '배달원', '배달 기사님', or '택배 기사님' (for parcels).

It means 'Out for delivery' or 'Delivery in progress'.

Yes, if you are discussing the delivery of physical goods. For documents, '송부' is better.

It's a pun. 'Baedal' (倍達) means the legendary first Korean kingdom, and 'Baedal' (配達) means delivery. It implies Koreans are 'The Delivery Nation'.
