When we talk about '영양실조' (yeong-yang-sil-jo), we're referring to malnutrition. This isn't just about being hungry, but specifically about a lack of proper nutrients in the body. It happens when someone doesn't get enough food, or the right kind of food, over an extended period. This can lead to various health problems because the body isn't getting the fuel and building blocks it needs to function correctly. So, if you hear '영양실조,' think of it as a serious health condition caused by an insufficient diet.
§ Understanding 영양실조 (yeong-yang-sil-jo)
Let's break down the Korean word 영양실조 (yeong-yang-sil-jo). This term is very practical and you'll often hear it in discussions about health, welfare, or even historical contexts. It's a noun, and it means 'malnutrition' or 'undernutrition'. Essentially, it describes a state where someone isn't getting enough proper food to stay healthy.
- Korean Word
- 영양실조 (yeong-yang-sil-jo)
- Word Type
- Noun
- Definition
- Lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat.
§ How to use it in a sentence
When you use 영양실조, you're generally talking about a condition someone has. Since it's a noun, it will often be paired with verbs like 겪다 (gyeok-tta - to suffer from) or 걸리다 (geol-li-da - to contract/get a disease). You can also use it to describe a state, like 'suffering from malnutrition'.
§ Using with '겪다' (to suffer from)
The verb 겪다 is very common when talking about experiencing difficulties or conditions. So, to say 'suffer from malnutrition', you would use 영양실조를 겪다.
아이들이 영양실조를 겪고 있습니다.
- English Hint
- The children are suffering from malnutrition.
§ Using with '걸리다' (to get/contract)
You can also use 걸리다 with 영양실조, similar to how you would say 'to get a cold' (감기에 걸리다). It implies contracting or developing the condition.
전쟁으로 많은 사람들이 영양실조에 걸렸습니다.
- English Hint
- Many people contracted malnutrition due to the war.
§ Describing someone with malnutrition
You can also use 영양실조 to describe a person or a state. You can attach -상태 (sang-tae - state/condition) to form 영양실조 상태 (yeong-yang-sil-jo sang-tae), meaning 'a state of malnutrition'.
그는 심한 영양실조 상태였습니다.
- English Hint
- He was in a severe state of malnutrition.
§ Adjective form: 영양실조에 걸린 (malnourished)
If you want to describe someone as 'malnourished', you can turn the phrase '영양실조에 걸리다' into a descriptive form by using -ㄴ/은 (-n/eun). So, 영양실조에 걸린 (yeong-yang-sil-jo-e geol-lin) means 'malnourished' or 'who contracted malnutrition'.
영양실조에 걸린 아이들을 돕고 싶습니다.
- English Hint
- I want to help children who are malnourished.

§ Understanding 영양실조 (yeong-yang-sil-jo)
Let's break down the Korean word 영양실조 (yeong-yang-sil-jo). This word refers to malnutrition, specifically when someone isn't getting enough proper food. It's a formal and medical term you'll encounter in news, health discussions, and sometimes in more serious conversations about diet and well-being. Think of it as a comprehensive term for the state of lacking essential nutrients due to insufficient food intake.
- DEFINITION
- Lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat.
§ Examples of 영양실조 in use
To help you understand how 영양실조 is used, here are some examples:
아이들은 영양실조로 고통받고 있었다.
English hint: The children were suffering from malnutrition.
전쟁 지역에서는 영양실조 문제가 심각합니다.
English hint: In war zones, the problem of malnutrition is serious.
제대로 먹지 못하면 영양실조에 걸릴 수 있습니다.
English hint: If you don't eat properly, you can suffer from malnutrition.
§ Similar words and when to use them
While 영양실조 is the most direct translation for malnutrition due to lack of food, it's helpful to know some related terms and when you might use them instead. Understanding these nuances will make your Korean sound more natural.
영양 부족 (yeong-yang bu-jok): This literally means 'lack of nutrition' or 'nutritional deficiency'. It's a broader term than 영양실조. You can have 영양 부족 even if you eat enough food but the food you eat lacks essential vitamins or minerals. For example, someone eating a lot of junk food might experience 영양 부족 because their diet isn't balanced, even if they aren't hungry. 영양실조 specifically points to a lack of *overall* food, leading to a severe nutrient deficit.
굶주림 (gulm-ju-rim): This noun means 'hunger' or 'starvation'. While 영양실조 describes the *condition* of being malnourished, 굶주림 describes the *state* of being extremely hungry or starving. Someone suffering from 굶주림 would likely also be suffering from 영양실조, but the words emphasize different aspects. 굶주림 often evokes a more immediate, visceral sense of lack of food.
기아 (gi-a): This also means 'famine' or 'starvation', often on a larger, societal scale. When you talk about widespread food shortages affecting many people in a region or country, you'd use 기아. It implies a more catastrophic and widespread situation of hunger and lack of food, which naturally leads to 영양실조 for many individuals. So, 기아 is the cause, and 영양실조 is one of its severe consequences.
과자만 먹으면 영양 부족이 생길 수 있어요.
English hint: If you only eat snacks, you can get a nutritional deficiency.
그들은 심한 굶주림에 시달리고 있었다.
English hint: They were suffering from severe hunger/starvation.
아프리카의 일부 지역은 심각한 기아에 직면해 있습니다.
English hint: Some regions of Africa are facing severe famine.
گرامر لازم
Nouns + -으로/로 (to express cause or reason): When a noun describes the cause or reason for something, you can attach -으로/로 to it. It often translates to 'due to', 'because of', or 'from'.
감기로 결석했어요. (I was absent due to a cold.)
Nouns + -고통받다 (to suffer from): This phrase is used to express suffering from a particular condition or situation. '고통받다' is a verb meaning 'to suffer'.
질병으로 고통받고 있어요. (I'm suffering from an illness.)
Nouns + -에 걸리다 (to catch/contract a disease or condition): This phrase is used to indicate that someone has contracted a disease or fallen into a certain state or condition. '-에' marks the condition, and '걸리다' means 'to get caught' or 'to contract'.
감기에 걸렸어요. (I caught a cold.)
Verbs + -기 위해 (in order to, for the purpose of): This grammar pattern expresses the purpose or intention behind an action. '-기 위해' is attached to the stem of a verb.
한국어를 배우기 위해 한국에 왔어요. (I came to Korea to learn Korean.)
Nouns + -이/가 중요합니다 (is important): This is a common way to state that something is important. '-이/가' is the subject marker, and '중요합니다' is the polite formal form of '중요하다' (to be important).
건강이 중요합니다. (Health is important.)

오랜 전쟁으로 인해 많은 아이들이 ___에 시달리고 있습니다.
The sentence describes children suffering due to a long war, implying a lack of food and proper nutrition. '영양실조' (malnutrition) fits this context perfectly. '과식' means overeating, '소화불량' means indigestion, and '비만' means obesity, none of which fit the context of suffering due to war.
극심한 가뭄으로 농작물 수확량이 줄어들면서 주민들은 ___ 위기에 처했습니다.
A severe drought leading to reduced crop yields would naturally result in a lack of food, putting residents at risk of malnutrition. '영양실조' (malnutrition) is the appropriate word here. '풍요' means abundance, '과잉공급' means oversupply, and '식량증산' means increased food production, all of which are the opposite of the situation described.
아프리카의 일부 지역에서는 깨끗한 물과 식량 부족으로 ___ 문제가 심각합니다.
The lack of clean water and food in some African regions directly leads to '영양실조' (malnutrition). While '질병' (disease) can be related, '영양실조' is a more direct and specific consequence of food shortage. '과잉생산' means overproduction, and '생활수준향상' means improvement in living standards, which are contrary to the context.
구호 단체는 전쟁 지역의 어린이들을 위해 ___ 예방 프로그램을 운영하고 있습니다.
Aid organizations in war zones would primarily focus on preventing '영양실조' (malnutrition) among children, as food scarcity is a common issue. '비만' (obesity), '과식' (overeating), and '소화불량' (indigestion) are unlikely to be the main concerns in such a context.
충분한 음식 섭취가 어려운 사람들은 ___에 걸릴 위험이 높습니다.
Individuals who struggle to consume enough food are at a high risk of developing '영양실조' (malnutrition). '건강' (health), '활력' (vitality), and '면역력강화' (strengthening immunity) are positive outcomes associated with proper nutrition, not the result of insufficient food.
지속적인 경제난으로 인해 많은 가정이 ___로 고통받고 있습니다.
Persistent economic hardship often leads to a lack of resources, including food, causing many families to suffer from '영양실조' (malnutrition). '풍족함' (abundance), '경제성장' (economic growth), and '식량안보' (food security) are all positive concepts that do not fit the context of suffering due to economic difficulties.
Choose the most appropriate word to complete the sentence: 전쟁으로 인해 많은 아이들이 ______로 고통받고 있습니다. (Due to the war, many children are suffering from _______.)
The sentence describes suffering due to war, and '영양실조' (malnutrition) is a common consequence. The other options ('풍요로움' - abundance, '번영' - prosperity, '건강' - health) do not fit the context of suffering.
Which of the following situations is most likely to lead to 영양실조?
영양실조 directly relates to a lack of proper nutrition. Persistent food scarcity and an unbalanced diet are direct causes. The other options are either unrelated or describe healthy conditions.
Which sentence correctly uses 영양실조?
The correct answer accurately describes the preventative measure for malnutrition. The other sentences use '영양실조' in a contradictory or illogical way.
영양실조는 전 세계적으로 심각한 건강 문제이며, 특히 개발도상국에서 많이 발생한다. (Malnutrition is a serious global health problem, occurring frequently in developing countries.)
This statement is true. Malnutrition is indeed a severe global issue, disproportionately affecting developing nations due to poverty and food insecurity.
영양실조는 주로 너무 많은 음식을 섭취하여 발생하는 질병이다. (Malnutrition is primarily a disease caused by consuming too much food.)
This statement is false. Malnutrition is caused by a lack of proper nutrition, typically from not having enough to eat, or an unbalanced diet, not from overeating.
영양실조는 신체 발달과 면역력 약화에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. (Malnutrition can affect physical development and weaken immunity.)
This statement is true. A lack of essential nutrients due to malnutrition significantly impairs physical growth and compromises the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illnesses.
This sentence discusses the severe impact of prolonged malnutrition on growth and development. '장기간의' (prolonged/long-term) modifies '영양실조는' (malnutrition), which is the subject. '성장 발달에' (on growth and development) indicates the area affected, and '치명적입니다' (is fatal/critical) is the predicate.
This sentence describes children suffering from malnutrition due to severe famine. '극심한 기아로 인해' (due to severe famine) provides the cause. '많은 어린이들이' (many children) is the subject. '영양실조로' (from malnutrition) indicates the condition, and '고통받고 있습니다' (are suffering) is the verb.
This sentence highlights the urgent need for international aid to combat malnutrition in developing countries. '개발도상국에서는' (in developing countries) sets the location. '영양실조 해결을 위한' (for solving malnutrition) describes the purpose. '국제적인 지원이' (international support) is the subject, and '절실합니다' (is urgent/desperate) is the predicate.
