모으다 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 모으다 is a transitive verb meaning 'to collect,' 'to gather,' or 'to save.' It requires an object (을/를).
- It is an 'ㅡ' irregular verb. In present polite form, it becomes '모아요' (mo-a-yo).
- It is used for physical objects (stamps), money (saving), and abstract concepts (attention, strength).
- Do not confuse it with '모이다' (to be gathered), which is the intransitive version.
The Korean verb 모으다 (mo-eu-da) is a fundamental transitive verb that primarily translates to 'to collect,' 'to gather,' or 'to save.' At its core, it describes the action of bringing separate items, people, or even abstract concepts like energy or attention into a single place or state of unity. Unlike some verbs that happen naturally, 모으다 implies a conscious effort or intention by an agent. Whether you are a child picking up seashells on a beach or a CEO gathering resources for a new venture, you are performing the action of 모으다.
- Physical Objects
- This is the most literal use. It refers to collecting physical things like stamps, trash, or books. For example, '쓰레기를 모으다' means to gather trash in one spot.
저는 취미로 우표를 모으다 (모아요). (I collect stamps as a hobby.)
- Financial Context
- In everyday Korean life, this verb is synonymous with 'saving money.' While '저축하다' is the formal term for banking, '돈을 모으다' is the common way to say you are putting money aside for a goal.
Beyond the physical, 모으다 is used for abstract gathering. You can 'gather your thoughts' (생각을 모으다), 'gather strength' (힘을 모으다), or 'gather public interest' (관심을 모으다). It suggests a focusing of energy toward a specific point. In a social or political sense, it is used when people unite their opinions or voices to achieve a common purpose. This versatility makes it one of the most high-frequency verbs in both spoken and written Korean, appearing in everything from financial advice columns to epic poetry about national unity.
우리는 힘을 모으다 (모아서) 이 문제를 해결해야 합니다. (We must gather our strength and solve this problem.)
- Attention and Focus
- When a new K-pop group debuts, they 'gather attention' (인기를 모으다 or 화제를 모으다). It implies that the collective gaze of the public is being pulled toward them.
Finally, it is worth noting the conjugation. 모으다 follows the 'ㅡ' irregular pattern. When it meets an ending starting with '아/어', the 'ㅡ' is dropped and replaced with '아' because the preceding vowel is 'ㅗ'. Thus, '모으다' becomes '모아요' in the polite present tense. Mastering this irregular change is crucial for A1 learners to sound natural.
Using 모으다 correctly requires understanding its role as a transitive verb. This means it always takes an object, marked by the particles 을 or 를. The structure is typically [Subject] + [Object] + [모으다]. Depending on the object, the nuance of the sentence shifts from literal collection to figurative concentration.
- Sentence Structure 1: Physical Objects
- When collecting items, specify the item. '아이들이 조개를 모으고 있어요' (The children are gathering shells).
집에서 헌 책을 모으다 (모으고 있어요). (I am gathering old books at home.)
- Sentence Structure 2: Saving Assets
- When talking about money or wealth. '새 차를 사려고 돈을 모아요' (I am saving money to buy a new car).
In more advanced contexts, 모으다 appears in complex sentence structures using connectors like -기 위해 (in order to) or -면서 (while). For example, '자료를 모으면서 계획을 세웠어요' (I made a plan while gathering data). This shows how the action of gathering often serves as a preparatory step for another action. It is also frequently used in the passive-like causative or with helping verbs, though the base transitive form remains the most common for learners.
사람들의 의견을 모으다 (모으는) 것이 중요합니다. (Gathering people's opinions is important.)
- Sentence Structure 3: Gathering People
- Use this when you are the organizer. '선생님이 학생들을 운동장에 모았어요' (The teacher gathered the students in the playground).
When using the word in a professional setting, it is often paired with nouns like 정보 (information), 데이터 (data), or 자금 (funds). In these cases, it sounds more formal than just 'getting' or 'finding' these things. It implies a systematic approach to accumulation. For instance, '투자금을 모으기 위해 발표를 했습니다' (I gave a presentation to gather investment funds). This illustrates the verb's upward mobility from basic A1 usage to professional C1 contexts.
In South Korea, you will encounter 모으다 in a variety of everyday environments. One of the most common places is the bank or during financial discussions. Banks often have slogans about 'gathering small change to make a fortune' (티끌 모아 태산). You'll hear bank tellers ask if you are 'saving' for a specific goal, or see advertisements for savings accounts (적금) that encourage you to '돈을 모으세요' (Save money).
- At the Supermarket
- Koreans love loyalty points. Cashiers will often ask if you have a point card to 'point-reul mo-eu-da' (collect points). '포인트 모으시는 거 있으세요?' (Do you have points you are collecting?)
영수증을 모으다 (모아서) 제출해 주세요. (Please collect the receipts and submit them.)
Another common setting is in media and entertainment. News anchors use 모으다 when reporting on something that has 'captured the public's attention' (화제를 모으다). In variety shows, you'll see cast members trying to 'gather' items for a mission or 'gather' teammates. In the world of K-pop, fans 'gather' to support their idols, and the idols 'gather' their strength before a big performance. The word carries a sense of collective energy that is very central to Korean social dynamics.
In educational settings, teachers frequently use the verb when organizing students. '자, 여기로 모두 마음을 모아 보세요' (Now, everyone, focus your minds here) or '과제물을 모아서 내세요' (Collect your assignments and turn them in). This usage emphasizes the transition from individual action to a collective result. Whether it's physical papers or mental focus, the verb acts as a bridge between the 'many' and the 'one'.
학생들의 의견을 모으다 (모으고) 있습니다. (We are gathering the students' opinions.)
- In Hobbies
- Collectors of figurines, sneakers, or photocards (포카) use this word constantly. '저는 방탄소년단 포카를 모아요' (I collect BTS photocards).
Finally, in literature and news, 모으다 is used to describe the synthesis of ideas. When a committee 'gathers wisdom' (지혜를 모으다) to solve a national crisis, it conveys a high level of respect and seriousness. Hearing this word in such a context signals that the topic is of great importance and requires a unified effort. From the smallest coin to the grandest national consensus, 모으다 is the verb of accumulation and unity.
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is confusing 모으다 (to gather/collect) with 모이다 (to be gathered/to meet). This is a classic transitive vs. intransitive verb error. In English, 'gather' can be both: 'I gather the books' and 'The people gather.' In Korean, these must be distinct. If you say '사람들이 모았어요,' you are saying 'The people gathered (something),' leaving the listener waiting for an object. To say 'The people gathered (together),' you must use '사람들이 모였어요.'
- Mistake 1: Transitivity
- Incorrect: 친구들이 공원에 모았어요. (Friends gathered [something] in the park.)
Correct: 친구들이 공원에 모였어요. (Friends gathered in the park.)
돈을 모으다 (모으는) 것은 어렵지만 보람차요. (Saving money is hard but rewarding.) - Correct usage
Another common error involves the 'ㅡ' irregular conjugation. Many beginners mistakenly conjugate it as '모으어요' or '모워요.' Because the vowel before 'ㅡ' is 'ㅗ' (in '모'), the 'ㅡ' drops and '아' is added, resulting in 모아요. Forgetting this rule results in unnatural-sounding Korean. Remember: ㅗ + 아 = 아 (the ㅡ disappears).
Learners also sometimes confuse 모으다 with 줍다 (to pick up). While you might 'pick up' items to 'collect' them, 줍다 refers only to the act of lifting something off the ground. 모으다 refers to the cumulative process of bringing them together. If you are cleaning a room, you 'pick up' (줍다) trash to 'gather' (모으다) it into a bag.
- Mistake 2: Overusing 'Collect'
- English speakers often use 'collect' for picking someone up (e.g., 'I'll collect you from the airport'). In Korean, never use 모으다 for this. Use 데리러 가다 or 마중 나가다.
Finally, there is the confusion with 쌓다 (to pile up/stack). While both involve accumulation, 쌓다 focuses on vertical height or building layers (like building experience or stacking boxes). 모으다 focuses on the act of bringing disparate parts into a group. You 'gather' (모으다) materials to 'build up' (쌓다) a wall.
While 모으다 is a versatile 'all-purpose' verb, Korean has more specific words for different types of gathering. Understanding these will make your Korean sound more precise and sophisticated. For instance, if you are talking about a serious hobby like collecting rare coins or art, you might use 수집하다.
- 수집하다 (su-jip-ha-da) vs. 모으다
- 수집하다 is more formal and often implies a systematic or professional collection (like data collection or art collecting). 모으다 is more general and can be used for anything from trash to money.
박물관은 고대 유물을 수집하다 (수집합니다). (The museum collects ancient artifacts.)
- 저축하다 (jeo-chuk-ha-da) vs. 모으다
- 저축하다 specifically refers to saving money in a bank or financial institution. 돈을 모으다 can mean saving money anywhere, including in a piggy bank at home.
Another synonym is 집중시키다 (to concentrate/focus). While 모으다 can be used for 'gathering attention' (관심을 모으다), 집중시키다 is more technical and often refers to focusing light, energy, or mental effort in a very intense way. For example, '정신을 집중시키다' (to concentrate one's mind) is more intense than '마음을 모으다' (to gather one's heart/will).
그는 모든 노력을 한 곳에 집중시키다 (집중시켰다). (He concentrated all his efforts in one place.)
- 소집하다 (so-jip-ha-da) vs. 모으다
- 소집하다 means 'to summon' or 'to call a meeting.' It is used by authorities (like the government or a boss) to gather people for a specific official purpose. 모으다 is much more casual.
Lastly, consider 거두다 (to harvest/collect). This is used when you are 'gathering' the results of something, like a harvest (곡식을 거두다) or a success (성공을 거두다). It carries a nuance of receiving something that has grown or been worked for over time. While you can 'gather' (모으다) people's opinions, you 'reap' or 'harvest' (거두다) the fruits of your labor.

نکته جالب
The word '모음' (vowel) literally comes from the same root in some linguistic theories, though in modern Korean, '모음' (母音 - mother sound) is Hanja-based. However, the native word for a meeting, '모임', is directly derived from '모으다'.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing 'eu' (으) as 'oo' (우).
- Adding an 'r' sound to the 'o' (모).
- Failing to drop the 'eu' during conjugation (e.g., saying 'mo-eu-ayo' instead of 'mo-ayo').
- Pronouncing 'd' (ㄷ) too sharply like an English 't'.
- Not distinguishing the 'o' (ㅗ) clearly from 'eo' (ㅓ).

10 سوالNo, it is very commonly used for abstract things like money, attention (관심), strength (힘), and opinions (의견). For example, '힘을 모으다' means to join forces.
It becomes '모았어요'. The 'ㅡ' drops and '았' is added because the vowel before 'ㅡ' is 'ㅗ'.
No. In English, we say 'collect a friend,' but in Korean, you should use '데리러 가다' (to go to pick up) or '마중 나가다' (to go out to meet).
모으다 (transitive) means 'to gather [something]'. 모이다 (intransitive) means '[something/someone] gathers'. Example: '사람들을 모아요' (I gather people) vs '사람들이 모여요' (People gather).
If the hobby is serious or professional (like rare art), '수집하다' sounds better. For casual things like stickers or dolls, '모으다' is more natural.
For saving resources like water or electricity, '아끼다' (to save/conserve) or '절약하다' is more appropriate. '모으다' implies accumulation, not conservation.
You can use '저축하다' or '자금을 마련하다'. However, '돈을 모으다' is perfectly fine in most neutral contexts.
It's a famous proverb meaning 'Gathering dust makes a mountain.' It's the Korean equivalent of 'Every little bit helps' or 'A penny saved is a penny earned.'
Yes, it is an 'ㅡ' irregular verb. This means the 'ㅡ' in the stem disappears when followed by an ending starting with '아' or '어'.
Yes, in phrases like '정신을 모으다' (to gather one's spirit/focus) or '신경을 모으다' (to concentrate one's nerves/attention).

Summary
The verb <strong>모으다</strong> is essential for expressing the act of accumulation, whether you are saving money (돈을 모으다) or gathering your thoughts (생각을 모으다). Remember the irregular conjugation: 모으다 → 모아요.
- 모으다 is a transitive verb meaning 'to collect,' 'to gather,' or 'to save.' It requires an object (을/를).
- It is an 'ㅡ' irregular verb. In present polite form, it becomes '모아요' (mo-a-yo).
- It is used for physical objects (stamps), money (saving), and abstract concepts (attention, strength).
- Do not confuse it with '모이다' (to be gathered), which is the intransitive version.
Conjugation Rule
Remember: 모으다 + 아요 = 모아요. The 'ㅡ' is dropped and '아' is added because of the 'ㅗ' in '모'. Never say '모으아요'.
Saving Money
While '저축하다' is for banks, '돈을 모으다' is the go-to phrase for general saving. Use it when talking about saving for a car, house, or trip.
Abstract Use
Don't be afraid to use '모으다' for abstract nouns. '힘을 모으다' (gather strength) and '마음을 모으다' (unite hearts) are very common and poetic.
Transitive vs Intransitive
Always check if there is an object. If you are gathering *something*, use 모으다. If *you* are gathering with others, use 모이다.
