When someone is an only child, it means they don't have any brothers or sisters. In Korea, being an only child is quite common now, especially in smaller families. Sometimes, only children might feel a bit lonely because they don't have siblings to play with at home. However, they also often get a lot of attention from their parents. It's a special way to grow up!
When someone is an only child, meaning they don't have any brothers or sisters, we use the word 외동 (oe-dong) in Korean. It's a simple way to say 'only child.' You might hear someone say something like '저는 외동이에요' which means 'I am an only child.' This term is commonly used in everyday conversations to describe family structure.
When Koreans ask if someone has siblings, you might hear the question “형제 자매가 어떻게 되세요?” (hyeongje jamaega eotteoke doeseyo?). If you’re an only child, you’d respond with 외동이에요 (oedong-ieyo). Although there isn't a direct English equivalent, you can think of it as saying, "I'm an only child."
While 외동 specifically means “only child,” Koreans often use other phrases to express being alone or the youngest/oldest. For example, if someone asks if you have siblings and you're the oldest, you might hear "저는 외동딸입니다" (jeoneun oedongttal-imnida), meaning "I am an only daughter." Similarly, "외동아들" (oedong-adeul) means "only son."
When Koreans say someone is an "외동" (oe-dong), they mean that person is an only child. This word is a common way to refer to individuals who do not have any siblings. The concept of being an only child is often discussed in relation to family dynamics and personal development in Korea. While some might associate being an only child with certain stereotypes, it's simply a descriptive term for someone without brothers or sisters. Understanding this term helps you grasp basic family structures in Korean conversation.
When discussing family dynamics in Korea, the term 외동 (oedong) is used to refer to an only child. This is a very common and practical word that you'll encounter frequently in everyday conversations. While it directly translates to 'only child,' it often carries a nuance of being the sole offspring, whether male or female. Understanding this term is essential for accurately describing family structures and understanding related cultural contexts in Korea.
For example, if someone asks "형제자매 있으세요?" (Do you have siblings?), and you are an only child, you would respond with something like "아니요, 저는 외동이에요." (No, I am an only child.) This simple phrase is highly practical and will help you navigate basic family-related discussions with ease.
외동 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 외동 means 'only child' in Korean.
- It's used for someone without siblings.
- You'll often hear it in conversations about family.
§ Understanding '외동'
The Korean word 외동 (oe-dong) translates directly to 'only child' in English. It's a noun used to describe someone who doesn't have any siblings. You'll hear this term quite often in conversations about family, so it's a good one to know.
- DEFINITION
- Only child.
You might notice that the Korean language often has specific terms for family relationships that are more precise than in English. 외동 is a clear example of this.
§ How to Use '외동' in Sentences
Using 외동 is pretty straightforward. It functions just like any other noun in a sentence. You can use it with common particles to indicate its role in the sentence.
- Subject Particle (이/가): When 외동 is the subject of the sentence, you'll attach 이 (if it ends in a consonant) or 가 (if it ends in a vowel). Since 외동 ends in a consonant (동), you'll use 이.
저는 외동이에요. (I am an only child.)
제 친구는 외동이어서 혼자 살아요. (My friend is an only child, so they live alone.)
- Topic Particle (은/는): To highlight 외동 as the topic of your sentence, you'll use 은 (if it ends in a consonant) or 는 (if it ends in a vowel). Again, with 외동, you'll use 은.
그 아이는 외동인데도 참 착해요. (Even though that child is an only child, they are very kind.)
- Adjective Usage: You can also use 외동 to describe someone. While it's a noun, in contexts like 'an only child son/daughter', it functions almost like an adjective. You'll often see it paired with 자식 (ja-sik), meaning 'child' (often used in a general sense or by parents), or 아들 (a-deul) for son, 딸 (ttal) for daughter.
저분은 외동 아들이세요. (That person is an only son.)
그녀는 부모님의 외동딸이에요. (She is her parents' only daughter.)
§ Common Phrases and Contexts
Here are some common ways 외동 is used in everyday conversation:
- Asking if someone is an only child: 외동이세요? (Are you an only child?) This is a polite way to ask.
- Talking about the characteristics of an only child: People sometimes have stereotypes about only children (e.g., being more independent or sometimes spoiled), and 외동 can come up in these discussions.
외동으로 자라면 외로울 때도 있어요. (If you grow up as an only child, there are times you can be lonely.)
§ Practical Takeaways
To sum it up, 외동 is a simple but important vocabulary word. Remember:
- It means 'only child'.
- Use it with subject particles (이) or topic particles (은) just like other nouns.
- It can be used to describe someone as an only son (외동 아들) or only daughter (외동딸).
Keep practicing these simple sentence structures, and you'll be using 외동 naturally in no time!
§ Directly translating 'only'
Many English speakers, when first learning Korean, try to directly translate phrases from English. With 'only child', this can lead to confusion. You might be tempted to say '단지 아이' or '오직 아이', but these don't convey the meaning of 'only child' in a natural Korean way. '단지' and '오직' mean 'only' in the sense of 'merely' or 'solely', and don't refer to the family structure.
§ Using '외동' to describe an only person in general
While '외동' specifically means 'only child', some learners might mistakenly use it to describe someone who is the only person in a room, or the only person doing a certain activity. This is incorrect. '외동' is strictly reserved for a child who has no siblings.
저의 친구는 외동이에요. (My friend is an only child.)
Here, '외동' correctly refers to a friend who has no brothers or sisters.
§ Confusing '외동' with '독자/독녀'
While '독자' (only son) and '독녀' (only daughter) also refer to an only child, they are more specific. '외동' is a general term that can be used for both sons and daughters. It's not a mistake to use '독자' or '독녀' if you know the gender, but '외동' is often the safer and more common choice in general conversation.
- DEFINITION
- Only child. This term is gender-neutral.
For example, if you know someone is an only son, you could say:
그는 독자입니다. (He is an only son.)
But if you're not sure of the gender, or want a more general term, '외동' is better.
§ Using '외동' as an adjective directly before a noun
In Korean, '외동' is a noun. You can't directly use it to modify another noun like '외동 아이' (only child child). While it might make sense in English, in Korean, you'd usually say '외동이다' (is an only child) or use a particle to connect it to a description.
- CORRECT USAGE
- Use '외동' as a noun, often with '이다' (to be) or a particle like '인'.
For example, to say 'an only child friend', you would say:
외동인 친구 (a friend who is an only child)
You wouldn't say '외동 친구'. This nuance is important for sounding natural in Korean. Always pay attention to how nouns are used and modified.
By understanding these common pitfalls, you can use '외동' more accurately and confidently in your Korean conversations.
§ What '외동' Means
- Korean Word
- 외동 (oe-dong)
- Definition
- Only child.
The Korean word 외동 (oe-dong) refers to a person who is an only child. It's a straightforward term, often used to describe someone's family structure.
저는 외동입니다. (Jeo-neun oe-dong-im-ni-da.)
This sentence means "I am an only child." It's a common way to introduce this fact about yourself.
그녀는 외동딸이에요. (Geu-nyeo-neun oe-dong-ttal-i-e-yo.)
Here, it means "She is an only daughter." You can specify the gender by adding 딸 (ttal - daughter) or 아들 (a-deul - son) after 외동.
§ Common Uses of '외동'
You'll encounter 외동 in everyday conversations when people are discussing family members or personal backgrounds. It's a key word for understanding family dynamics in Korean culture.
외동이라서 혼자 있는 시간이 많아요. (Oe-dong-i-ra-seo hon-ja it-neun si-gan-i man-a-yo.)
This translates to "Because I'm an only child, I have a lot of time alone." This highlights a common perception or experience of only children.
§ When to Use '외동' vs. Other Words
While 외동 specifically means "only child," there aren't many direct synonyms that mean exactly the same thing in Korean. However, it's good to know how it fits into the broader vocabulary of family terms.
- When talking about siblings: If you have siblings, you wouldn't use 외동. Instead, you'd use terms like 형 (hyeong - older brother, for males), 오빠 (op-pa - older brother, for females), 누나 (nu-na - older sister, for males), 언니 (eon-ni - older sister, for females), 남동생 (nam-dong-saeng - younger brother), or 여동생 (yeo-dong-saeng - younger sister).
- When asking about siblings: If you want to ask someone if they are an only child, you could say: 형제자매가 있으세요? (Hyeong-je-ja-mae-ga is-seu-se-yo?) which means "Do you have siblings?" Or more directly, 외동이세요? (Oe-dong-i-se-yo?) which means "Are you an only child?"
저에게는 여동생이 있어요. 저는 외동이 아니에요. (Jeo-e-ge-neun yeo-dong-saeng-i it-seo-yo. Jeo-neun oe-dong-i a-ni-e-yo.)
This example, "I have a younger sister. I am not an only child," clearly shows the contrast.
In summary, 외동 is the go-to word when you want to say "only child" in Korean. Keep it in your vocabulary for describing family situations accurately.

نکته جالب
The '외' (oe) in 외동 (oedong) comes from the Hanja 外, meaning 'outside' or 'single.' When combined with '동' (dong), meaning 'child' or 'youngster,' it forms 'only child.' The '외' here specifically indicates singularity.

Similar to '형제', '자매' means 'sisters'. It's often used when specifically talking about female siblings.
'자매' refers to female siblings, while '외동' indicates no siblings at all.
그녀는 자매가 없어요. (She doesn't have sisters.)
This word means 'alone' or 'by oneself'. While an only child might often be alone, '혼자' describes a state of being, not a family status.

نحوه استفاده
외동 (oedong) means 'only child' or 'single child'. It's commonly used to describe someone who doesn't have any siblings. You'll often hear it in sentences like 우리 아이는 외동이에요 (uri a-i-neun oedong-i-e-yo), meaning 'Our child is an only child.' It can also be used as a modifier, for example, 외동딸 (oedongttal) for 'only daughter' or 외동아들 (oedong-adeul) for 'only son'.
A common mistake is confusing 외동 with other words that sound similar or relate to family. For instance, do not confuse it with 외롭다 (oeropda), which means 'to be lonely,' even though being an only child can sometimes be associated with loneliness. Also, don't use it to describe someone who is simply the youngest or oldest sibling; it strictly means 'no siblings at all.' Remember it's a noun, so you can't use it directly as an adjective without adding another noun like 딸 or 아들.

In Korean culture, being an '외동' (oedong) can carry certain perceptions. Traditionally, there was an emphasis on having multiple children, especially sons. However, with modern society and lower birth rates, being an 'only child' is becoming more common. Sometimes, '외동' children are thought to be more independent or, conversely, sometimes perceived as being more pampered due to not having siblings.
