Alright, let's get into how to use the Korean word 파업 (paeop), which means 'strike' or 'work stoppage'. Understanding how to fit this noun into sentences is crucial for sounding natural when you're talking about workers' rights, labor disputes, or just general disruptions. We'll cover common particles and verb constructions.
§ Basic Sentence Structure with 파업
As a noun, 파업 often appears with particles that show its role in the sentence. The most common patterns you'll see involve verbs like 'to do a strike' or 'to go on strike'.
§ 파업하다 (paeop-hada) - To go on strike
The easiest way to use 파업 as a verb is to attach ~하다 (-hada) to it. This creates the verb 파업하다, meaning 'to strike' or 'to go on strike'. This is a very common and direct way to express the action.
직원들이 파업했어요. (Jikwon-deuri paeop-haesseoyo.)
- Translation hint
- The employees went on strike.
버스가 파업해서 학교에 늦었어요. (Beoseuga paeop-haeseo hakgyoe neujeosseoyo.)
- Translation hint
- I was late for school because the bus went on strike.
§ 파업을 하다 (paeop-eul hada) - To do a strike
You can also use 파업 as the object of the verb 하다 (to do), using the object particle ~을/를 (-eul/reul). So, 파업을 하다 also means 'to do a strike' or 'to go on strike'. Both 파업하다 and 파업을 하다 are correct and commonly used, so don't stress too much about which one to pick. Often, the single word form 파업하다 feels a bit more integrated.
노동자들이 임금 인상을 요구하며 파업을 시작했어요. (Nodongja-deuri imgum insang-eul yogu-hamyeo paeop-eul sijakhaesseoyo.)

§ Noun + 파업 (paeop)
You can also combine 파업 with other nouns to specify the type of strike. This usually happens by attaching the noun directly to 파업 or by using the possessive particle ~의 (-ui), though direct attachment is more common for compounds.
- 총파업 (chong-paeop): general strike (총 means 'total' or 'general')
- 버스 파업 (beoseu paeop): bus strike
- 택시 파업 (taeksi paeop): taxi strike

This sentence describes a company negotiating with a union to avoid a strike. '회사는' (the company) is the subject, '파업을 피하기 위해' (to avoid a strike) is the purpose, and '노조와 협상하고 있다' (is negotiating with the union) is the action.

This sentence means 'The company urged to stop the strike and engage in negotiations.' The correct order follows a typical Korean sentence structure of Subject-Object-Verb, with subordinate clauses preceding the main verb.
This sentence means 'Workers went on strike demanding better working conditions.' The structure starts with the subject 'workers', followed by the condition 'demanding better working conditions', and concludes with the action 'went on strike'.
