서랍
A 서랍 is a box-shaped part of a desk or cabinet that you pull out to store things.
Explanation at your level:
A 서랍 is a drawer. You pull it out to put things inside. You have a 서랍 in your desk. It is very useful for your pens and paper. Do you have a 서랍 in your room? It helps you keep your things in one place.
When you want to organize your room, you use a 서랍. You can open the 서랍 to get your clothes or books. It is a simple part of a desk or a cupboard. Many people have a small 서랍 for their personal items.
The term 서랍 is essential for describing furniture. You might say, 'Please put the documents in the top 서랍.' It is a common noun used in both home and office settings. Keeping your 서랍 tidy is a good habit for staying productive.
Beyond just storage, the 서랍 can symbolize hidden areas of one's life. In a professional context, you might discuss 'organizing your 서랍' as a metaphor for managing your workload. It is a versatile word that fits into many descriptive sentences about interior design or daily routines.
In advanced discourse, 서랍 can be used to describe the compartmentalization of information. For example, 'He keeps his memories in a metaphorical 서랍.' This figurative usage highlights the human tendency to categorize and store experiences. It is a nuanced way to describe how we process complex thoughts.
Etymologically, 서랍 reflects the architectural evolution of storage. Its usage in literature often evokes a sense of nostalgia, such as 'opening a dusty 서랍 to find forgotten letters.' It carries a weight of history and personal discovery, making it a powerful noun in creative writing and descriptive prose.

- 서랍 is a drawer.
- It is part of furniture.
- Use with '열다' or '닫다'.
- Very common in daily life.
The word 서랍 refers to a drawer. Think of it as a sliding box that helps you keep your life organized. Whether it's the 서랍 in your kitchen holding cutlery or the one in your desk holding stationery, it's a fundamental piece of furniture hardware.
In daily life, we use 서랍 constantly. It is the perfect place to tuck away items you don't want on display. It represents order, storage, and the hidden compartments of our personal spaces.
The Korean word 서랍 has an interesting linguistic history. It is derived from the Sino-Korean characters 舌 (tongue) and 拉 (pull). Historically, the front part of the drawer was thought to resemble a tongue that you pull out.
This is a great example of how language uses physical metaphors to name everyday objects. It evolved from ancient cabinet designs where the sliding mechanism was the defining feature. Understanding this origin makes it much easier to remember the word!
You will use 서랍 in almost any context involving furniture. Common verbs used with it include 열다 (to open) and 닫다 (to close). You might also hear people talk about 서랍장, which is a chest of drawers.
It is a very neutral, everyday term. Whether you are at home, school, or the office, you can use 서랍 without worrying about formality. It is a standard noun that fits perfectly into any conversation about organization.
While 서랍 is a literal object, it appears in several idioms. 1. 서랍 속에 감추다 (hide in a drawer) - meaning to keep a secret. 2. 서랍을 뒤지다 (rummage through a drawer) - searching for something lost. 3. 서랍 같은 마음 (drawer-like heart) - someone who keeps feelings hidden. 4. 서랍이 꽉 차다 (drawer is full) - having too much to do. 5. 서랍을 정리하다 (organize a drawer) - metaphor for clearing one's mind.
In Korean, 서랍 is a standard noun. It doesn't change form based on number, so it stays the same whether you have one or many. When pronouncing it, ensure you emphasize the 'eo' sound clearly.
It rhymes with words like 가랍 or 차랍 (though these are rare). The stress is typically flat, common in Korean phonology. Remember to link the sounds smoothly when speaking quickly!
Fun Fact
The front board was historically called a tongue.
