When something is 품절 (pum-jeol), it means it's completely sold out. You'll often see this word in stores or online when a product is no longer available because all of the stock has been purchased. It's a common and practical word to know when you're shopping in Korea.
For example, if you want to buy a popular snack and the shelf is empty, the store might have a sign saying 품절. This simply tells you that they don't have any more of that item at the moment. It’s useful for understanding product availability.
§ How to use 품절 (pum-jeol) in a sentence
Let's dive into how to use 품절 naturally in Korean sentences. It's a straightforward word, but knowing its common patterns will help you sound more like a native speaker.
- Grammar Note
- 품절 is a noun, so it often combines with verbs like 되다 (doe-da - to become) or 이다 (i-da - to be) to express the state of being sold out. You'll also see it used directly as an adjective-like modifier in some contexts.
§ Common Phrases with 품절
Here are some of the most common ways you'll hear and use 품절:
품절되다 (pum-jeol-doe-da): To become sold out
This is perhaps the most common way to express that something is sold out. It literally means 'to become sold out'.
그 신발은 벌써 품절되었어요.
That shoe is already sold out.
인기 상품은 빨리 품절돼요.
Popular items sell out quickly.
품절이다 (pum-jeol-i-da): It is sold out
This uses the 이다 (i-da) verb, meaning 'to be'. It's often used when simply stating the current status.
죄송합니다. 그 사이즈는 품절입니다.
I'm sorry. That size is sold out.
이 색상은 현재 품절이에요.
This color is currently sold out.
품절 상품 (pum-jeol sang-pum): Sold out item/product
Here, 품절 acts like an adjective, modifying the noun 상품 (sang-pum - product/item).
지금 보시는 것은 품절 상품입니다.
What you are seeing now is a sold out item.
품절 상품은 더 이상 구매할 수 없습니다.
Sold out items can no longer be purchased.
~이/가 품절되다: [Item] becomes sold out
You can use the subject particle 이/가 with the item that is sold out.
이 빵이 품절되었어요.
This bread is sold out.
티켓이 모두 품절되었습니다.
All the tickets are sold out.
§ Where you'll see 품절
You'll often encounter 품절 in these situations:
- Online shopping sites (e-commerce)
- Restaurant menus (for dishes that are no longer available)
- Concert or event ticket booking sites
- Physical stores (on signs or when asking staff)

اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
This is the most direct English equivalent, but as seen above, Korean has more nuanced ways to express this depending on the context (products vs. tickets, temporary vs. permanent).
Similar to 'sold out,' but 'out of stock' might imply more a general lack of inventory rather than the specific action of all items being purchased.
A broader term. While a 품절 item is unavailable, something can be unavailable for other reasons (e.g., not yet released, permanently removed, etc.).

neutralبهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Both 품절 and 매진 mean 'sold out,' but they are used in slightly different contexts. While 품절 generally refers to products that are temporarily or permanently out of stock, 매진 is more commonly used for tickets (concerts, movies, flights) or limited-time events.
품절 (pum-jeol): Used for general merchandise, items in a store. 매진 (mae-jin): Used for tickets, seats, or limited-time events, implying all available slots or items have been fully booked/sold.
콘서트 표가 매진되었어요. (Konseoteu pyoga maejindoeeosseoyo.) - The concert tickets are sold out.
This phrase literally means 'no stock' or 'out of stock,' similar to 품절. The confusion arises because while 품절 implies that the item *was* available but is now sold out, 재고 없음 can also mean that the item simply isn't in stock, regardless of whether it was previously sold.
품절 (pum-jeol): Focuses on the act of being sold out. 재고 없음 (jae-go eop-seum): Focuses on the current state of having no stock. 품절 is more common in retail displays.
죄송합니다. 이 상품은 재고가 없습니다. (Joesonghamnida. I sangpumeun jaegoga eopseumnida.) - Sorry. This product is out of stock.
This phrase means 'almost sold out' or 'selling fast.' It's confused with 품절 because learners might mistake it for already being sold out due to the presence of 품절. However, it signifies that the item is *about to be* sold out, not that it already is.
품절 (pum-jeol): Already sold out. 품절 임박 (pum-jeol im-bak): Nearing a sold-out status, limited quantity remaining.
인기 상품이라 품절 임박이에요. (Inki sangpumira pum-jeol im-bakieyo.) - It's a popular item, so it's almost sold out.
This means 'temporarily sold out.' Learners might overlook '일시' (il-si, temporary) and interpret it simply as 'sold out,' leading to confusion about the availability of the product in the future.
품절 (pum-jeol): Can imply permanent or temporary. 일시 품절 (il-si pum-jeol): Explicitly states that the sold-out status is temporary and the item will likely be restocked.
그 책은 현재 일시 품절입니다. (Geu chaeg-eun hyeonjae il-si pum-jeorimnida.) - That book is temporarily sold out.
단종 means 'discontinued.' While a discontinued product is certainly not available, the reason is different from being sold out. 품절 implies it was available but ran out; 단종 means production has stopped entirely.
품절 (pum-jeol): Item was available and sold out. 단종 (dan-jong): Production of the item has stopped; it will no longer be manufactured or sold.
이 모델은 단종되어서 더 이상 구매할 수 없습니다. (I moder-eun danjongdoeeoseo deo isang gumaehal su eopseumnida.) - This model has been discontinued, so you can no longer buy it.

نحوه استفاده
When something is 품절 (pumjeol), it means it's completely sold out and no longer available. You'll often see this word on signs in stores or on product pages online. It's a very common and practical word to know.
A common mistake is to confuse 품절 (pumjeol) with simply being out of stock temporarily. 품절 (pumjeol) implies a more permanent or complete sell-out, rather than just waiting for a restock. For a temporary out-of-stock situation, you might hear expressions like '재고 없음' (jaego eopseum - no stock) or '일시 품절' (ilsi pumjeol - temporarily sold out), but '품절' on its own usually means it's gone.
