단가
단가 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 단가 (Danka) means 'unit price'—the specific price of one single unit of a product or service, derived from the Hanja words for 'single' and 'price'.
- It is primarily used in business, manufacturing, and wholesale contexts, as opposed to the more general word '가격' (price) used in daily shopping.
- Common verbs associated with 단가 include 인상하다 (raise), 인하하다 (lower), and 조정하다 (adjust), reflecting its role as a key variable in negotiations.
- Understanding 단가 is crucial for tasks like reading receipts, managing business budgets, analyzing economic news, or negotiating contracts in South Korea.
The Korean word 단가 (Danka) is a fundamental term in commerce, logistics, and daily business transactions. Etymologically rooted in Hanja, it combines 單 (단 - single/unit) and 價 (가 - price/value). At its core, it refers to the price of a single unit of a product or service. While the general word for price is 가격 (gagyeok), 단가 is specifically used when discussing the breakdown of costs, bulk purchasing, manufacturing, or contract negotiations. If you are buying one apple at a supermarket, you might just look at the price tag. However, if you are a restaurant owner buying five hundred apples, you are deeply concerned with the 단가 because a difference of even ten won per unit can significantly impact your total expenditure. This word is the backbone of procurement and supply chain management in South Korea.
- Business Context
- In manufacturing, the 'unit cost' or 'unit price' determines the feasibility of a project. Companies often negotiate to 'lower the unit price' (단가를 낮추다) to stay competitive.
원자재 가격이 올라서 제품 단가 인상이 불가피합니다. (Because raw material prices rose, an increase in the product unit price is inevitable.)
Understanding 단가 requires a shift from seeing the 'total' to seeing the 'individual.' In professional settings, using this word instead of the generic 가격 demonstrates a higher level of business fluency. For instance, in an export-import scenario, you wouldn't ask for the 'total price' first; you would ask for the 단가 based on a specific volume of order. This allows for scalability in pricing. Furthermore, the term is frequently encountered in government bids and construction contracts where 'unit price contracts' (단가 계약) are a standard practice. In these cases, the focus is on the standardized rate for a specific measurement, such as per square meter or per hour of labor.
- Economic Implication
- Economists use this term to track inflation at a granular level. If the unit price of basic grains rises, it signals a broader increase in food prices across the board.
대량 구매를 하시면 단가를 더 낮춰 드릴 수 있습니다. (If you purchase in bulk, we can lower the unit price further for you.)
In summary, 단가 is not just a number; it is a point of negotiation and a metric of efficiency. Whether you are discussing the 'labor unit price' (노무 단가) in construction or the 'electricity unit price' (전기 단가) in utility billing, the word emphasizes the fixed rate applied to a single increment. It is a precise, professional, and indispensable term for anyone looking to navigate the Korean economic landscape or engage in professional trade within the country.
Using 단가 correctly involves pairing it with specific verbs that describe price movements or negotiations. Because it is a noun, it often acts as the subject or object of a sentence. Common verbs include 인상하다 (to raise), 인하하다 (to lower), 맞추다 (to meet/adjust), and 산정하다 (to calculate). For example, if a supplier says they need to 'adjust the unit price,' they will use the phrase 단가를 조정하다. This is much more formal and specific than saying the price changed. It implies a systematic review of the cost per item.
- Grammatical Pattern: Subject
- 단가가 높다 (The unit price is high) or 단가가 낮다 (The unit price is low). Use this to describe the current state of a product's value.
이 부품은 품질은 좋지만 단가가 너무 비싸서 부담스럽네요. (This part has good quality, but the unit price is too expensive, so it is burdensome.)
Another important usage is in the possessive form or as part of a compound noun. You will often see 제품 단가 (product unit price), 수출 단가 (export unit price), or 구입 단가 (purchase unit price). In these instances, 단가 serves to specify which type of unit cost is being discussed. When writing business emails, it is standard to include a table where the 단가 column is clearly separated from the total amount. This clarity prevents misunderstandings in large-scale transactions where thousands of items might be involved.
- Grammatical Pattern: Object
- 단가를 인하하다 (To lower the unit price). This is frequently used in news headlines regarding competition between tech giants or retailers.
경쟁사와의 가격 경쟁을 위해 단가를 대폭 낮추기로 결정했습니다. (We decided to significantly lower the unit price to compete with our rivals.)
In conversational Korean, you might hear a small business owner complaining about 단가 후려치기 (danka huryeochigi). This is a vivid, somewhat aggressive expression meaning 'to slash the unit price' or 'to force a price reduction' unfairly. It describes a situation where a powerful buyer forces a supplier to provide goods at an unsustainably low 단가. Understanding this nuance allows you to grasp the social and economic tensions often discussed in Korean media regarding large conglomerates and their subcontractors.
The word 단가 is ubiquitous in professional environments, but its presence extends into daily life more than one might expect. You will hear it most frequently in office meetings, especially those involving the purchasing department, sales teams, or accounting. When a team is reviewing the budget for a new marketing campaign that involves physical merchandise like pens or t-shirts, the discussion will inevitably center on the 단가 of each item. It is the language of 'the bottom line.'
- In the News
- Economic news reports often mention '수출 단가' (export unit price) when discussing the health of the Korean semiconductor or automobile industries. If the export unit price of chips goes up, it's good news for the national economy.
이번 분기 반도체 단가 하락으로 인해 영업 이익이 감소했습니다. (Due to the drop in semiconductor unit prices this quarter, operating profits decreased.)
Another common place to encounter 단가 is in the construction industry. If you are renovating a house in Korea, the contractor will provide a quote broken down by 단가 for materials (like tiles per box) and labor (per person per day). Even in the freelance world, designers or writers might discuss their 'work unit price' (작업 단가), which refers to their rate per page, per word, or per project element. It is a way of quantifying labor into manageable, billable units.
- In Public Utilities
- Utility bills for gas or electricity often show a '단가' per kilowatt-hour or cubic meter. When the government announces a hike in utility rates, they refer to it as an increase in the 'supply unit price' (공급 단가).
식당 운영에서 가장 중요한 것은 식재료 단가 관리입니다. (The most important thing in running a restaurant is managing the unit price of food ingredients.)
Finally, you will see it in the stock market. Investors look at the 'average purchase unit price' (평균 매수 단가), often shortened to 평단 (pyeong-dan) in slang. This is the average price an investor paid for their shares. If the current stock price is higher than their 단가, they are in the green. This usage shows how the concept of 'unit price' is applied to financial assets as well as physical goods.
One of the most frequent mistakes learners make is using 단가 when they actually mean 가격 (price) or 총액 (total amount). Remember that 단가 strictly refers to the price *per unit*. If you buy ten shirts for 100,000 won, the 가격 or 총액 is 100,000 won, but the 단가 is 10,000 won. Using 단가 to refer to the total bill at a restaurant would sound very strange and confusing to a native speaker.
- Confusion with 'Cost' (원가)
- Another common error is confusing '단가' with '원가' (wonga - original cost/cost of production). '원가' is what it costs the manufacturer to make the item, while '단가' is the price agreed upon for the sale of one unit. They can be the same in some contexts, but usually, '단가' includes a profit margin.
❌ 오늘 점심 단가가 얼마예요? (Incorrect: asking for total lunch cost using unit price.)
✅ 오늘 점심 값이 얼마예요? (Correct: How much is lunch?)
Learners also struggle with the verbs associated with 단가. While you can 'buy' (사다) a product at a certain 단가, you don't usually 'buy the unit price' itself. You 'set' (책정하다), 'negotiate' (협상하다), or 'adjust' (조정하다) the 단가. Also, avoid using '단가' for services that don't have a clear unit of measurement. For example, a one-time consulting fee is usually called a 수수료 (commission/fee) or 비용 (cost/expense) rather than a 단가, unless it is billed hourly.
- Register Issues
- Using '단가' in a casual conversation with friends about a cheap coffee you bought might sound overly formal or 'business-like.' Stick to '가격' or '값' in everyday social settings.
❌ 이 사과 한 개의 단가가 뭐예요? (Sounds robotic.)
✅ 이 사과 한 개에 얼마예요? (Natural: How much is one of these apples?)
Finally, be careful with the word 시세 (sise). While 단가 is a fixed price in a contract or a specific quote, 시세 refers to the 'market price' that fluctuates daily (like the price of gold or fish). If you are asking what the current going rate for a product is in the open market, 시세 is often more appropriate than 단가.
To truly master 단가, you must understand how it relates to other price-related terms in Korean. The most common synonym is 단위 가격 (dan-wi gagyeok), which literally means 'unit price.' While 단가 is the preferred term in business and industry, 단위 가격 is often used in consumer protection contexts, such as the unit price labels you see on supermarket shelves (e.g., price per 100 grams).
- 단가 vs. 원가 (Unit Price vs. Original Cost)
- 단가 is the selling price per unit. 원가 is the production cost per unit. Companies strive to keep 원가 low and 단가 competitive while maintaining a profit margin.
- 단가 vs. 시세 (Unit Price vs. Market Price)
- 단가 is usually a negotiated or fixed rate in a specific transaction. 시세 is the general price level in the market at a given time, which influences what the 단가 will eventually be.
우리는 단가를 낮추기 위해 원가 절감 방안을 모색하고 있습니다. (We are looking for ways to reduce the cost of production in order to lower the unit price.)
Another related term is 공급가 (gong-geup-ga), or 'supply price.' This is the price at which a wholesaler supplies goods to a retailer. It is often expressed as a 단가. For example, 'The supply unit price is 500 won' would be 공급 단가는 500원입니다. There is also 소비자가 (sobija-ga), the 'consumer price' or 'retail price.' This is what the end-user pays. The difference between the 공급 단가 and the 소비자 단가 represents the retailer's margin.
- 단가 vs. 금액 (Unit Price vs. Amount)
- 단가 is the rate; 금액 is the total. Equation: 단가 × 수량 (Quantity) = 금액.
단가가 1,000원이고 수량이 100개면 총 금액은 100,000원입니다. (If the unit price is 1,000 won and the quantity is 100, the total amount is 100,000 won.)
Finally, in more formal economic or academic writing, you might encounter 단위당 가치 (value per unit). While similar, this term focuses on the intrinsic value rather than just the market price. However, for 99% of business and daily interactions involving unit costs, 단가 remains the most efficient and widely understood choice.

The character 單 (단) is the same one used in '단어' (word - single sound) and '단독' (independent/alone).
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing it as 'dan-ka' with a heavy aspirated 'k' sound. It should be a soft 'g'.
- Confusing it with 'danga' (a type of short song/poetry), though context usually clears this up.

نکات
Use it in Business
If you are working in Korea, using '단가' instead of '가격' in emails about purchasing will make you sound much more professional and experienced.
Check the Small Print
In Korean supermarkets, look for the '단위 가격' on the shelf tag. It helps you see if a larger package is actually cheaper per unit than a smaller one.
High and Low
While you can say '단가가 비싸다' (unit price is expensive), it is more standard in professional Korean to say '단가가 높다' (unit price is high) or '단가가 낮다' (unit price is low).
Understand the Struggle
When you hear '단가 후려치기' on the news, understand that it's a major social issue regarding fair trade and the power balance between large and small companies.
Stock Market Tip
When trading stocks in Korea, your '평단' (average unit price) is your most important number. Lowering it when the market is down is called '물타기'.
The Formula
Always remember: 단가 (Unit Price) × 수량 (Quantity) = 금액 (Total Amount). This helps you use all three words correctly in a sentence.
Negotiation Phrase
A useful phrase for negotiation is: '단가를 조금만 더 맞춰 주실 수 있을까요?' (Could you adjust the unit price a little more for us?).
Compound Nouns
You can create many useful words by putting a noun in front of '단가', like '부품 단가' (part unit price) or '인건비 단가' (labor cost unit price).
News Keywords
When you hear '단가' on the news, it's almost always followed by '상승' (rise) or '하락' (fall). These are key keywords for understanding economic trends.
Hanja Power
Remembering '단' as 'Single' will prevent you from confusing '단가' with '총액' (Total).
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
Think of 'Dan' as 'Done' and 'Ga' as 'Gap'. If the unit price (단가) is too high, the deal is 'DONE' because there is a 'GAP' in the budget.

Be careful when using '단가 후려치기' in a formal business meeting as it is a very strong and accusatory expression. Use '단가 조정' (unit price adjustment) instead.
In English-speaking countries, we often use 'unit price' or 'price per item'. The Korean '단가' is slightly more prevalent in daily business speech than 'unit price' is in English, where 'cost' or 'rate' might be used more loosely.

Summary
The key takeaway for '단가' is that it shifts the focus from the total cost to the cost per unit. For example, '이 제품의 단가는 500원입니다' means each item costs 500 won, regardless of how many you buy in total.
- 단가 (Danka) means 'unit price'—the specific price of one single unit of a product or service, derived from the Hanja words for 'single' and 'price'.
- It is primarily used in business, manufacturing, and wholesale contexts, as opposed to the more general word '가격' (price) used in daily shopping.
- Common verbs associated with 단가 include 인상하다 (raise), 인하하다 (lower), and 조정하다 (adjust), reflecting its role as a key variable in negotiations.
- Understanding 단가 is crucial for tasks like reading receipts, managing business budgets, analyzing economic news, or negotiating contracts in South Korea.
Use it in Business
If you are working in Korea, using '단가' instead of '가격' in emails about purchasing will make you sound much more professional and experienced.
Check the Small Print
In Korean supermarkets, look for the '단위 가격' on the shelf tag. It helps you see if a larger package is actually cheaper per unit than a smaller one.
High and Low
While you can say '단가가 비싸다' (unit price is expensive), it is more standard in professional Korean to say '단가가 높다' (unit price is high) or '단가가 낮다' (unit price is low).
Understand the Struggle
When you hear '단가 후려치기' on the news, understand that it's a major social issue regarding fair trade and the power balance between large and small companies.
