توضیح 거두다 in your Level:
At the A1 level, you should learn '거두다' primarily in its most basic, physical sense: taking things inside. The most common phrase you will encounter is '빨래를 거두다,' which means 'to take in the laundry.' Imagine you have hung your clothes outside to dry, and it starts to rain. You need to '거두다' (gather) them quickly. At this stage, don't worry about the complex metaphorical meanings. Just think of it as a way to say 'bring in' or 'collect' things that were put out. You might also see it in very simple stories about farmers gathering fruit. Focus on the connection between putting something out and then bringing it back in. The verb follows standard conjugation rules: 거두어요 (polite present), 거두었어요 (past), 거둘 거예요 (future). Remember that in casual speech, people often shorten it to '걷다,' but as a beginner, learning the full form '거두다' will help you recognize it in various forms later on.

At the A2 level, you expand your understanding of '거두다' to include the concept of 'harvesting.' This is a very common topic in Korean culture and language tests. You will learn to use it with crops (곡식), rice (벼), and fruit (열매). For example, '가을은 곡식을 거두는 계절입니다' (Autumn is the season for gathering crops). You should also begin to see the word used for collecting small amounts of money, like membership fees (회비) or donations (성금). At this level, you are moving from just 'taking in laundry' to 'gathering the results of work.' You should also be able to recognize the word in simple news clips about sports victories, like '승리를 거두다' (to win/achieve victory). This is an introductory step into the metaphorical uses of the word. Practice using it in sentences that describe a process ending in a collection, whether it's farming or a group project.
At the B1 level, you should focus on the metaphorical use of '거두다' in professional and social contexts. This is where you see the word most frequently in 'real-world' Korean. You will use it to describe achieving results (성과를 거두다), gaining success (성공을 거두다), or seeing an effect (효과를 거두다). For instance, '이번 광고 캠페인은 큰 효과를 거두었습니다' (This advertising campaign achieved a great effect). You should understand that '거두다' implies the result was earned through effort. Also, start learning the usage of 'withdrawing' or 'stopping' an expression. '웃음을 거두다' (to stop smiling) or '시선을 거두다' (to look away/withdraw one's gaze) are important for describing emotions in more detail. At this stage, you should be able to distinguish '거두다' from simpler words like '얻다' (to get) by recognizing the nuance of 'reaping' what was sown.

At the B2 level, you will encounter '거두다' in more formal and literary contexts. You should be comfortable with the usage of 'taking someone in' (아이를 거두다, 고아를 거두다). This usage carries a sense of social responsibility and compassion. You will also see the word in news reports about 'collecting a body' (시신을 거두다) after an accident or during a historical account. This level requires understanding the gravity and formality of the word in these specific situations. Furthermore, you should learn the nuances of 'withdrawing' abstract things like opinions or words. '의견을 거두다' (to withdraw an opinion) or '말을 거두다' (to take back what one said) are common in debates or formal discussions. You should be able to use '거두다' to add a layer of sophistication to your writing and speaking, moving beyond basic verbs to more evocative and precise ones.

At the C1 level, you explore the poetic and historical depths of '거두다.' You will find it in classic literature and high-level editorials. It can be used to describe 'gathering' one's thoughts or 'collecting' one's breath (숨을 거두다 - which specifically means to take one's last breath, i.e., to die). This euphemism for death is very common in formal writing and literature. You should also understand the word's role in historical narratives concerning taxation and governance (세금을 거두다). At this level, you should be able to appreciate the word's versatility—from the most mundane act of laundry to the most profound act of passing away. You should also be able to use the word in complex sentence structures, such as using the causative or passive nuances that appear in literary texts, though the active '거두다' remains the most frequent.

At the C2 level, '거두다' is a tool for stylistic precision. You understand its etymological roots and its connection to the agrarian identity of the Korean people. You can use it to create subtle shifts in tone. For example, using '거두다' instead of '멈추다' to describe someone stopping their laughter can imply a sudden, chilling change in the atmosphere. You are also aware of rare or archaic uses found in classical texts. You can discuss the philosophical implications of '거두다'—the idea that life is a cycle of sowing and reaping, and that ultimately, all things are 'gathered' in the end. Your mastery allows you to use the word in academic papers, high-level diplomacy, or creative writing with perfect nuance, recognizing exactly when the native '거두다' is superior to the Sino-Korean '수확하다' or '달성하다' for emotional or cultural resonance.

거두다 در ۳۰ ثانیه

  • Primarily means to harvest crops or gather items like laundry.
  • Used metaphorically to mean achieving success, victory, or results.
  • Can mean to stop or withdraw an expression, gaze, or statement.
  • Also used for taking in and caring for orphans or animals.

The Korean verb 거두다 is a versatile and culturally significant word that English speakers often encounter early in their studies, though its full depth takes time to master. At its core, the word means 'to gather' or 'to harvest.' However, its usage spans from the physical act of bringing in crops to the metaphorical act of achieving success or even the compassionate act of taking someone under one's wing. In a historical context, Korea was primarily an agricultural society, making the concept of 'gathering' the fruits of one's labor central to the Korean psyche. When you use 거두다, you are often talking about the culmination of a process—the point where effort meets its final reward.

Agricultural Context
This is the most literal use. It refers to harvesting crops like rice, barley, or vegetables once they are ripe. It implies the end of a growing season. For example, '가을에 곡식을 거두다' means to harvest grain in the autumn.

농부들이 땀 흘려 가꾼 결실을 거두고 있습니다. (Farmers are harvesting the fruits of their hard work.)

Beyond the fields, 거두다 is frequently used in everyday household chores. One of the most common phrases you will hear in a Korean home is '빨래를 거두다,' which means to take in the laundry from the clothesline. Here, the nuance is 'gathering' or 'collecting' things that were spread out. Similarly, it can be used for gathering scattered toys or papers. This 'collecting' nuance extends to money as well, such as '회비를 거두다' (to collect membership fees).

Metaphorical Success
In modern Korean, you will constantly see this word in news headlines regarding sports or business. Phrases like '승리를 거두다' (to achieve victory) or '성과를 거두다' (to achieve results) are ubiquitous. It suggests that the success was earned through previous effort, much like a harvest follows planting.

우리 팀은 이번 경기에서 값진 승리를 거두었습니다. (Our team achieved a valuable victory in this match.)

The word also takes on a more somber or compassionate tone in specific contexts. To '거두다' a person (아이를 거두다) means to take them in, look after them, or adopt them when they have no one else. This implies a protective gathering. On a more solemn note, '시신을 거두다' means to collect a deceased person's body for a funeral. Finally, it can mean 'to withdraw' or 'to stop' an expression or action, such as '웃음을 거두다' (to stop smiling) or '의견을 거두다' (to withdraw an opinion). This variety makes it a essential word for understanding both the physical and emotional landscape of Korean communication.

그는 농담을 던진 후 곧바로 웃음을 거두고 진지해졌다. (He cracked a joke and then immediately stopped smiling and became serious.)

Using 거두다 correctly requires understanding its grammatical patterns and the specific objects it typically takes. As a transitive verb, it almost always requires an object marked with the particles -을 or -를. The meaning of the verb shifts significantly based on the object it is paired with, so learners should memorize these common pairings as set phrases.

Pattern 1: Physical Objects (Gathering/Collecting)
When used with physical items, it implies bringing things together or taking them inside. Common objects include laundry (빨래), crops (곡식/열매), or scattered items (물건).
Example: 비가 오기 전에 마당에 널어둔 빨래를 거두세요. (Please take in the laundry spread out in the yard before it rains.)

농부는 잘 익은 사과를 거두어 상자에 담았다. (The farmer gathered the ripe apples and put them in boxes.)

A second major pattern involves abstract achievements. In this context, 거두다 translates as 'to achieve,' 'to gain,' or 'to reap.' This is very common in business, sports, and academic contexts. The most common objects here are success (성공), victory (승리), results (성과), or profit (수익).

Pattern 2: Abstract Achievements (Achieving/Reaping)
This usage emphasizes that the result is the outcome of effort. It's like 'harvesting' the result of your work.
Example: 끊임없는 노력 끝에 그는 마침내 큰 성공을 거두었다. (After constant effort, he finally achieved great success.)

신제품 출시로 회사는 막대한 이익을 거두었습니다. (With the launch of the new product, the company reaped huge profits.)

A third, more nuanced pattern involves 'withdrawing' or 'stopping' something that was previously extended. This could be a physical extension (like a hand or a gaze) or an emotional one (like a smile or a statement). When you '거두다' your gaze (시선을 거두다), you stop looking at something. When you '거두다' your words (말을 거두다), you retract what you said.

Finally, consider the interpersonal use of 'taking care of' or 'taking in.' This is often used with people or animals in need. It implies bringing someone into your circle of care. For example, '고아를 거두다' (to take in an orphan). This is a very warm, albeit formal, way to describe providing sanctuary or care.

할머니께서는 갈 곳 없는 강아지들을 거두어 키우셨다. (My grandmother took in and raised stray puppies that had nowhere to go.)

To truly master 거두다, you need to recognize the specific environments where it flourishes. It is a word that bridges the gap between the rural past and the high-stakes modern present. You will hear it in four primary domains: the news, historical dramas, daily household interactions, and literature.

1. News and Media
This is perhaps the most common place to encounter the word today. News anchors use it to report on economic gains, sports victories, or political results. If Korea wins a gold medal in the Olympics, the headline will almost certainly read '금메달을 거두다.' It conveys a sense of official achievement and national pride.

한국 경제가 올해 예상보다 높은 성장률을 거둘 것으로 보입니다. (The Korean economy is expected to achieve a higher growth rate than expected this year.)

In historical dramas (Sageuk), the word is used in its original agricultural sense. You'll see peasants talking about '거두어야 할 곡식' (grain that must be harvested) or lords discussing the taxes '거두다' (collected) from the people. It evokes a sense of tradition and the seasonal rhythm of life in old Korea. It is also used in these dramas when a character takes in a wandering orphan or a wounded warrior, showcasing the word's compassionate side.

2. Daily Life (The 'Laundry' Context)
In a domestic setting, the word is almost synonymous with chores. '빨래 거둬라!' (Take in the laundry!) is a classic command from a parent to a child when rain starts to fall. While '걷다' is often used as a shorter version in casual speech, '거두다' remains the standard form you'll see in instructional texts or polite requests.

어머니, 제가 밖에서 빨래를 좀 거두어 올게요. (Mother, I'll go and bring in the laundry from outside.)

Lastly, in literature and lyrics, the word is used for its poetic resonance. A character might '거두다' their tears (눈물을 거두다), meaning they stop crying and steel themselves for what's next. Or they might '거두다' a wandering gaze, suggesting a moment of realization or focus. Because the word implies an ending or a gathering-in, it often appears at the climax or resolution of a story, symbolizing that the time for action is over and the time for consequences or rest has arrived.

이제 슬픔을 거두고 앞을 향해 나아가야 할 때입니다. (Now is the time to put away your sadness and move forward.)

While 거두다 is a common word, its multiple meanings and its similarity to other verbs can lead to confusion for English speakers. Avoiding these mistakes will make your Korean sound much more natural and precise.

1. Confusing '거두다' and '걷다'
In many cases, '걷다' is simply a shortened version of '거두다' (like with laundry). However, '걷다' also means 'to walk.' Beginners sometimes get confused by the different meanings. Furthermore, '걷다' is used for rolling up sleeves (소매를 걷다), whereas '거두다' is never used for that. Use '거두다' when you want to sound more formal or when referring to big achievements or harvesting.

❌ 소매를 거두다 (Incorrect for rolling up sleeves)
✅ 소매를 걷다 (Correct)

Another common mistake is using 거두다 for picking up small, random items from the ground. For this, the correct verb is 줍다 (to pick up). 거두다 implies a more organized gathering or a purposeful collection of things that were intentionally placed or grown somewhere. You '거두다' the crops you planted, but you '줍다' a coin you found on the street.

2. Using '거두다' for 'Gathering People'
If you want to say 'let's gather people for a meeting,' do not use '거두다.' Instead, use '모으다' (to gather/collect) or '모이다' (to meet/gather). '거두다' used with people specifically means 'to take them in/adopt' or 'to collect a body.' Using it for a meeting would sound very strange and potentially morbid.

❌ 회의를 위해 사람들을 거두다 (Incorrect for gathering people for a meeting)
✅ 사람들을 모으다 (Correct)

Lastly, learners often forget that '거두다' is used for stopping an expression. If you want to say 'stop laughing' in a more formal or dramatic way, you use '웃음을 거두다.' However, in casual conversation, most people just say '웃지 마' (Don't laugh). Using '거두다' in a very casual setting might make you sound like a character in a drama. Understanding the register is key to using this word naturally.

❌ 친구에게 "웃음을 거두어"라고 하는 것은 어색할 수 있습니다. (Telling a friend "withdraw your smile" can be awkward; it's too formal.)

Korean has many words that overlap with 거두다. Choosing the right one depends on the context and the level of formality you wish to convey. Here is a breakdown of the most common alternatives and how they differ from '거두다.'

1. 수확하다 (Su-hwak-ha-da) vs. 거두다
'수확하다' is a Sino-Korean word (hanja: 收穫) that specifically means 'to harvest.' It is more technical and formal than '거두다.' You will see '수확하다' in agricultural reports or textbooks. '거두다' is the native Korean word and is used in a wider variety of contexts, including laundry and metaphorical success.
2. 모으다 (Mo-eu-da) vs. 거두다
'모으다' means 'to collect' or 'to gather.' It is a very general word. You can '모으다' money, stamps, or people. '거두다' implies that the things being gathered were either spread out for a purpose (like laundry) or are the result of labor (like crops/results). You '모으다' (save) money in a bank, but you '거두다' (collect) membership fees from people.

우표를 모으는 취미가 있어요. (I have a hobby of collecting stamps.)
vs.
회비를 거두는 일을 맡았어요. (I'm in charge of collecting the membership fees.)

For the meaning of 'achieving a result,' you might also consider 얻다 (to get/obtain) or 달성하다 (to achieve/attain). 얻다 is very common and casual (e.g., 정보를 얻다 - to get information). 달성하다 is more formal and usually refers to meeting a specific numerical goal or target (e.g., 목표를 달성하다 - to achieve a goal). 거두다 is unique because it carries the 'harvest' metaphor, implying that the achievement is a natural conclusion to hard work.

3. 걷다 (Geot-da) vs. 거두다
As mentioned before, '걷다' is often a contraction. However, '걷다' is specifically used for rolling up sleeves or pant legs, which '거두다' cannot do. Also, '걷다' is used for folding up a tent or a mat. '거두다' feels more focused on the 'bringing in' aspect than the 'folding up' aspect.

When talking about 'stopping' an action like smiling, you could use 멈추다 (to stop) or 그치다 (to cease). 멈추다 is very general. 거두다 (as in '웃음을 거두다') is more evocative; it suggests the smile didn't just stop, but was 'withdrawn' or 'taken back,' often implying a shift to a more serious or cold mood.

نکات

Master the 'Success' Collocation

If you want to sound advanced, always use '거두다' with '성과' (results) or '승리' (victory). It sounds much more natural than just using '얻다' (get).

Don't confuse with '걷다' (to walk)

Remember that '거두다' always takes an object (laundry, crops, results). '걷다' (to walk) is an intransitive verb and doesn't take an object in that sense.

Think of the Harvest

Whenever you use '거두다', visualize the act of harvesting. This will help you understand why it's used for both crops and achieving successes.

Retracting Expressions

Use '거두다' for eyes (시선) and smiles (웃음) to describe a character's internal state. It's a very 'literary' and sophisticated way to speak.

Careful with 'Body'

Only use '시신을 거두다' in very formal or tragic contexts. It is the respectful way to talk about collecting a deceased person.

Daily Chores

Use '빨래를 거두다' when the clothes are dry. It's a fundamental household phrase in Korea.

Collecting Fees

If you are the treasurer of a club, you will '회비를 거두다' (collect the dues).

Cut to the Chase

Learn '거두절미하고' (geodu-jeolmi-hago). It's a very common way to say 'Long story short' or 'To get to the point'.

Sow and Reap

The proverb '뿌린 대로 거둔다' is essential for understanding Korean moral philosophy. It's their version of 'What goes around comes around'.

거두다 vs 모으다

Use '모으다' for a hobby collection (stamps, coins). Use '거두다' for a purposeful gathering of things that belong inside or results that were earned.

حفظ کنید

روش یادسپاری

Think of 'GO-DO-it'. You worked hard (did it), now it's time to GO and gather (거두다) the rewards.

تداعی تصویری

Imagine a farmer gathering golden rice stalks (literal) and then shifting to a CEO gathering a golden trophy (metaphorical).

شبکه واژگان

Laundry (빨래) Victory (승리) Crops (곡식) Smile (웃음) Orphan (아이) Money (성금) Results (성과) Retract (의견)

چالش

Try to use '거두다' in three different ways today: once for a chore, once for a success, and once for an emotion.

ریشه کلمه

Native Korean word. It has been used since Middle Korean (거두다).

معنای اصلی: To gather crops or items that are spread out.

Koreanic

بافت فرهنگی

Be respectful when using '시신을 거두다' (collecting a body), as it is a very grave expression.

English uses different verbs like 'harvest,' 'achieve,' 'collect,' and 'withdraw.' Korean uses '거두다' for all of these, showing a unified concept of 'bringing in results.'

Commonly heard in sports commentary during the World Cup or Olympics. Frequent in historical K-Dramas like 'Dae Jang Geum' regarding taxes and crops. Used in traditional proverbs about karma (reaping what you sow).

سوالات متداول

10 سوال

Yes and no. In the context of laundry or collecting money, '걷다' is a common contraction of '거두다'. However, '걷다' also means 'to walk' or 'to roll up' (like sleeves), meanings that '거두다' does not share. In formal writing, always use '거두다' for harvesting or achieving results.

No, you should use '줍다' (to pick up) for trash or items dropped on the ground. '거두다' implies a more purposeful gathering of things that were 'planted' or 'spread out' for a reason, like crops or laundry.

Use '수확하다' in formal, technical, or academic writing about agriculture. Use '거두다' in daily conversation, literature, or when talking about metaphorical harvests like 'victory' or 'success'.

It means to stop smiling suddenly. It often implies that the person's mood became serious, cold, or focused. It's like 'withdrawing' the smile from their face.

Yes, but be careful. Using it with people (아이를 거두다) means to take someone in and care for them, like an orphan. Using it for gathering people for a meeting is incorrect; use '모으다' for that.

The most direct opposite is '뿌리다' (to sow/scatter). If you '뿌리다' seeds, you eventually '거두다' the crops. If you '뿌리다' rumors, you will '거두다' the consequences.

Yes, for collecting things like membership fees (회비를 거두다) or donations (성금을 거두다). It implies gathering money from various people for a specific purpose.

The phrase '숨을 거두다' is a common euphemism for dying. It literally means 'to take one's last breath.' You will see this often in news or literature.

The past tense is '거두었다' (formal) or '거두었어요' (polite). For example: '승리를 거두었어요' (We achieved victory).

Extremely common. You'll hear it every day in weather-related talk (laundry) and see it in every sports or business news report.
