빌려오다 en 30 secondes
- Borrow and bring.
- Item comes to speaker's location.
- Combines 'borrow' and 'come'.
- Everyday practical verb.
The Korean verb 빌려오다 (billyeo-oda) means 'to borrow and bring back' or 'to fetch something that was borrowed'. It's a compound verb formed from '빌리다' (billida - to borrow) and '오다' (oda - to come). This means the action of borrowing is directly linked to the act of bringing the borrowed item to the speaker's location or the location relevant to the conversation. It emphasizes the movement of the object from the lender's place to the borrower's place.
You would use 빌려오다 when you ask someone to lend you something, and you intend to bring it to where you are. For example, if you are at home and need a tool that your neighbor has, you would ask them to 'lend it to you and bring it over'. The focus is on the item arriving with you.
Consider the nuance: '빌리다' is just the act of borrowing, while '빌려오다' implies the successful acquisition and transportation of the borrowed item. It's distinct from '빌려주다' (billyeo-juda - to lend and give), which is from the lender's perspective. Therefore, 빌려오다 is used by the person who receives the borrowed item.
This verb is commonly used in everyday situations, from borrowing a pen from a classmate to borrowing a book from a friend or even a tool from a family member. The context always involves the borrowed item coming towards the speaker or the immediate environment they are in. It implies a temporary possession with the understanding of return.
Let's look at some examples to solidify this understanding. If you're at a friend's house and need a charger, you might say, '핸드폰 충전기를 빌려올 수 있을까요?' (Can I borrow your phone charger and bring it here?). The '오다' (to come) part is crucial here, indicating the charger will be brought to your friend's location or your location within the friend's house. It's a very practical verb for daily interactions where temporary use of items is common.
Think about the direction of movement. If you go to someone else's place to get something they lend you, you are using 빌려오다. If they bring it to your place, they are using '빌려주다'. The verb itself encapsulates the entire process from the moment of borrowing to the moment of arrival at the desired location. This makes it a very specific and useful verb for describing actions related to borrowing.
The CEFR A2 level indicates that learners at this stage can understand and use this verb in common, everyday situations. It's a building block for more complex sentences and interactions involving requests and the exchange of goods.
Using 빌려오다 correctly involves understanding its grammatical structure and the typical contexts it appears in. As a verb, it conjugates like other Korean verbs, typically ending in -아요/어요, -습니다/ㅂ니다, or other grammatical endings depending on the formality and tense.
The most common conjugation is the present tense informal polite form: 빌려와요 (billyeo-wayo). For a more formal setting, you would use 빌려옵니다 (billyeo-omnida). The past tense informal polite is 빌려왔어요 (billyeo-wasseoyo), and the past tense formal is 빌려왔습니다 (billyeo-wasseumnida).
Sentence Structure: Typically, the sentence will have a subject, followed by the object being borrowed (often with the object particle 을/를), and then the verb 빌려오다. The source of the borrowing can be indicated with 에세 (ese) or 에게 (ege).
Example: Subject + Object + (Source) + 빌려오다.
Let's break down some example sentences:
- Basic Present Tense
- 저는 필기구를 친구에게서 빌려와요. (I borrow writing utensils from my friend and bring them here.)
- Past Tense
- 어제 도서관에서 책을 빌려왔어요. (Yesterday, I borrowed a book from the library and brought it.)
- Future/Intention
- 내일은 우산을 빌려올게요. (I will borrow an umbrella tomorrow and bring it.)
The verb can also be used in more complex sentence structures, such as in subordinate clauses or when giving commands or making requests. For instance, when asking someone to lend you something, you might say:
혹시 그 책을 빌려올 수 있을까요?
This translates to 'By any chance, could I borrow that book and bring it here?' The structure '-(으)ㄹ 수 있다' (can do) combined with 빌려오다 forms a polite request.
Understanding the nuances of '빌리다' vs. '빌려오다' is key. '빌리다' is the general act of borrowing, while '빌려오다' specifically includes the aspect of bringing the item to the speaker's location. This distinction is crucial for accurate communication.
Consider the subject. If the subject is 'I', it's straightforward. If the subject is 'you', the sentence would be a command or a request directed at the listener, like '그 펜을 빌려와.' (Borrow that pen and bring it here.) This is informal and direct.
The verb 빌려오다 is highly versatile and can be incorporated into various conversational scenarios, from casual chats with friends to more formal requests in an academic or professional setting, depending on the conjugation used.
You'll hear 빌려오다 in a wide variety of everyday scenarios, especially in informal settings where people interact closely. It's a practical verb for requesting and receiving temporary use of items among friends, family, and colleagues.
Among Friends: If you're studying with a friend and realize you forgot your textbook, you might say, '야, 네 책 좀 빌려올 수 있을까?' (Hey, can I borrow your book and bring it here?). The '야' (ya) indicates an informal address to a close friend.
Within a Household: If you're at home and need a specific kitchen utensil that's in your sibling's room, you might ask, '내 방에서 그 칼 좀 빌려올게.' (I'll borrow that knife from my room and bring it.) Here, '내 방에서' (from my room) specifies the source within the same general location.
At School or Work: In a classroom setting, if you need a pen, you'd ask a classmate, '펜 하나만 빌려와.' (Lend me one pen and bring it.) This is a direct, informal request. In a slightly more formal work environment, you might ask a colleague, '회의 자료 좀 빌려올 수 있을까요?' (Could I borrow the meeting materials and bring them here?).
Requests for Convenience: If you're at a friend's house and need a charger, you'd say, '휴대폰 충전기 좀 빌려올 수 있어요?' (Can I borrow your phone charger and bring it here?). The '수 있어요?' ending makes it a polite request.
Describing Past Actions: When recounting events, people use the past tense. '어제 친구한테서 공구를 빌려왔어요.' (Yesterday, I borrowed tools from my friend and brought them.) This describes a completed action where the tools are now with the speaker.
Specific Item Borrowing: The verb is often paired with the specific item being borrowed: '책을 빌려오다' (to borrow and bring a book), '돈을 빌려오다' (to borrow and bring money, though this often implies receiving it), '옷을 빌려오다' (to borrow and bring clothes).
Cultural Context: In Korean culture, borrowing and lending are common. When someone borrows something and brings it over, it's a sign of convenience and reliance. The verb 빌려오다 perfectly captures this everyday interaction.
You will also hear variations depending on the speaker's age and relationship with the listener. Younger speakers might use more casual forms, while older speakers or those in more formal relationships will use more polite conjugations.
Listen to Korean dramas, movies, and everyday conversations. You will frequently encounter this verb when characters need to temporarily acquire items from each other. It's a fundamental verb for expressing the practical act of getting something borrowed.
Learners of Korean often make a few common mistakes when using 빌려오다, primarily stemming from confusion with similar verbs or misinterpreting the direction of action.
1. Confusing 빌려오다 with 빌리다: The most frequent error is using 빌리다 (to borrow) when the intention is to bring the item back. 빌리다 is the general act of borrowing, whereas 빌려오다 specifically includes the act of bringing the item to the speaker's location. For example, saying '저는 친구에게서 책을 빌렸어요' (I borrowed a book from my friend) is correct but doesn't specify that the book is now with you. If you want to emphasize that you brought the book back with you, you should say '저는 친구에게서 책을 빌려왔어요.'
2. Confusing 빌려오다 with 빌려주다: This is a mistake related to perspective. 빌려주다 (to lend and give) is from the lender's point of view. If you say '제가 당신의 책을 빌려왔습니다' (I lent you my book and brought it), it's nonsensical. You would use 빌려주다 if you are giving something to someone to borrow, like '제가 당신에게 책을 빌려줄게요' (I will lend you my book).
3. Incorrectly implying movement away from the speaker: Sometimes learners might use 빌려오다 when the borrowed item is actually going somewhere else, away from the speaker. For instance, if you are borrowing a tool from your garage to use in the backyard, and someone asks where it's going, you wouldn't say '뒷마당으로 빌려왔어요' (I borrowed it and brought it to the backyard). You might say '뒷마당으로 가져왔어요' (I brought it to the backyard) or '뒷마당에서 쓸 거예요' (I will use it in the backyard). The '오다' (to come) in 빌려오다 signifies movement *towards* the speaker or the current context.
4. Overlooking the 'come' aspect: Learners might sometimes forget that 빌려오다 inherently includes the 'coming' part. If you simply mean you borrowed something but it's not necessarily with you yet, or the bringing aspect isn't important, 빌리다 might be more appropriate. For example, if you are asking permission to borrow something for later, you might ask '내일 빌릴 수 있을까요?' (Can I borrow it tomorrow?) rather than '내일 빌려올 수 있을까요?' unless you specifically want to emphasize bringing it tomorrow.
5. Grammatical Errors in Conjugation: Like any verb, 빌려오다 can be subject to conjugation errors. Forgetting the correct past tense or making mistakes with the informal endings like -아요/어요 can lead to unnatural sentences.
To avoid these mistakes, always consider:
- Who is performing the action?
- Is the borrowed item coming *towards* the speaker or the conversational focus?
- Is the act of borrowing coupled with the act of bringing?
Paying close attention to these elements will help you use 빌려오다 accurately and effectively.
While 빌려오다 is specific, several other Korean words relate to borrowing or acquiring items. Understanding their nuances helps in choosing the most appropriate term.
- 1. 빌리다 (billida)
- This is the most general verb for 'to borrow'. It doesn't specify the direction of movement. You can use 빌리다 when you borrow something, regardless of whether you bring it to your location or use it where it is.
Example: 저는 친구에게서 책을 빌렸어요. (I borrowed a book from my friend.) This could mean you brought it home, or you are reading it at their place.
빌려오다 is a more specific form of 빌리다, emphasizing the 'coming' aspect.
- 2. 빌려주다 (billyeo-juda)
- This verb means 'to lend' or 'to give something to someone to borrow'. It's from the lender's perspective. If you are the one giving the item, you use 빌려주다.
Example: 제가 그 책을 빌려줄게요. (I will lend you that book.)
This is the direct opposite of 빌려오다 in terms of perspective.
- 3. 가져오다 (gajyeo-oda)
- This verb means 'to bring' (something that belongs to you or is generally available). It doesn't imply borrowing. You use 가져오다 when you bring an item that is yours or that you are authorized to bring.
Example: 도시락을 가져왔어요. (I brought my lunchbox.)
While 빌려오다 involves borrowing, 가져오다 is simply about bringing. You might bring a borrowed item using 가져오다, but 빌려오다 is more specific about the acquisition method.
- 4. 얻다 (eotda)
- This verb means 'to get', 'to obtain', or 'to gain'. It's a very broad term and can sometimes be used in contexts where something is acquired, but it doesn't necessarily imply borrowing or temporary use.
Example: 선물을 얻었어요. (I got a gift.)
It's not a direct substitute for 빌려오다 as it lacks the nuance of temporary possession and return.
- 5. 대여하다 (daeyeo-hada)
- This is a more formal verb, often used for renting or hiring items, especially for a longer period or in official contexts like libraries or rental shops.
Example: 이 책은 도서관에서 대여할 수 있습니다. (This book can be rented from the library.)
빌려오다 is typically used for more informal, short-term borrowing between individuals.
In summary, 빌려오다 is the best choice when you want to express borrowing an item and bringing it to your location, especially in informal or semi-formal everyday situations. If the 'bringing' aspect isn't important, use 빌리다. If you are the lender, use 빌려주다. If you are simply bringing something, use 가져오다.
How Formal Is It?
Le savais-tu ?
The structure of combining a verb stem with '오다' (to come) or '가다' (to go) is a common way to create more specific verbs in Korean, indicating directionality. For example, '쓰다' (to write) becomes '써오다' (to write and bring) or '써가다' (to write and take).

Souvent confondu avec
빌리다 is the general term for 'to borrow'. 빌려오다 specifically includes the action of bringing the borrowed item to the speaker's location. If you just mean 'borrow' without emphasizing the movement, 빌리다 is used. Example: '나는 친구에게서 책을 빌렸다.' (I borrowed a book from my friend.) vs. '나는 친구에게서 책을 빌려왔다.' (I borrowed a book from my friend and brought it.)
빌려주다 means 'to lend' or 'to give something to someone to borrow'. It is from the lender's perspective. 빌려오다 is from the borrower's perspective. If you are the one giving the item, you use 빌려주다. Example: '제가 당신에게 펜을 빌려줄게요.' (I will lend you a pen.)
가져오다 means 'to bring'. It does not involve borrowing. You use it when bringing something that is yours or that you are authorized to bring. Example: '내가 빵을 가져왔어.' (I brought bread.) While you might bring a borrowed item using '가져오다', '빌려오다' specifically includes the act of borrowing.
Facile à confondre
Both verbs relate to the act of borrowing.
<strong>빌리다</strong> is the general verb for borrowing. It doesn't specify the direction of movement of the borrowed item. <strong>빌려오다</strong> is a compound verb that specifically means 'to borrow and bring'. The '오다' (to come) component indicates that the borrowed item is brought to the speaker's location. Thus, <strong>빌려오다</strong> is a more specific type of borrowing.
나는 친구에게서 책을 빌렸다. (General borrowing) vs. 나는 친구에게서 책을 빌려왔다. (I borrowed a book from my friend and brought it here.)
Both verbs involve borrowing and lending.
<strong>빌려오다</strong> is from the borrower's perspective: 'to borrow and bring'. <strong>빌려주다</strong> is from the lender's perspective: 'to lend and give'. If you are the one receiving the item, you use <strong>빌려오다</strong>. If you are the one giving the item to be borrowed, you use <strong>빌려주다</strong>. They are essentially opposite actions from different viewpoints.
친구가 나에게 펜을 빌려주었다. (My friend lent me a pen.) vs. 나는 친구에게서 펜을 빌려왔다. (I borrowed a pen from my friend and brought it.)
Both verbs involve the action of bringing something.
<strong>가져오다</strong> simply means 'to bring' and does not imply borrowing. It is used when you bring something that belongs to you or that you are authorized to bring. <strong>빌려오다</strong> means 'to borrow and bring', meaning the item is acquired through borrowing and then brought to the speaker's location. You might use <strong>가져오다</strong> to describe bringing a borrowed item, but <strong>빌려오다</strong> specifies the borrowing aspect.
나는 내 우산을 가져왔다. (I brought my umbrella.) vs. 나는 친구에게서 우산을 빌려왔다. (I borrowed an umbrella from my friend and brought it.)
Both verbs involve borrowing.
<strong>빌려오다</strong> means 'to borrow and bring' (movement towards the speaker). <strong>빌려가다</strong> means 'to borrow and take away' (movement away from the speaker). If you borrow something from your friend and take it to your own house, you '빌려가다'. If your friend lends you something and brings it to your current location, they are performing the action of '빌려주다', and you are performing the action of '빌려오다'.
친구가 내 책을 빌려갔다. (My friend borrowed my book and took it away.) vs. 나는 친구의 책을 빌려왔다. (I borrowed my friend's book and brought it.)
Both verbs relate to temporary use of items.
<strong>빌려오다</strong> is typically used for informal, short-term borrowing between individuals, often for immediate needs. <strong>대여하다</strong> is a more formal verb meaning 'to rent' or 'to hire', usually implying a more structured process, a longer duration, or a formal transaction (e.g., renting a car, borrowing from a library).
나는 친구에게서 펜을 빌려왔다. (Informal, short-term) vs. 이 책은 도서관에서 대여할 수 있습니다. (Formal, library context)

Using '빌리다' instead of '빌려오다' when the item is brought to the speaker.
→
나는 친구에게서 책을 빌려왔어요.
The original sentence '나는 친구에게서 책을 빌렸어요.' is not wrong, but it doesn't specify that the book was brought to the speaker. '빌려왔어요' clearly indicates the book is now with the speaker.
-
Using '빌려오다' when the action is lending.

-
Confusing the direction of movement.
→
친구가 내 우산을 빌려갔어요.
If the item is taken away from the speaker, the verb '빌려가다' (to borrow and take away) should be used, not '빌려오다' (to borrow and bring).

Origine du mot
The word '빌려오다' is a compound verb formed by combining the verb '빌리다' (to borrow) and the verb '오다' (to come). This combination specifically highlights the action of borrowing followed by the movement of the borrowed item towards the speaker's location.
Sens originel : The core meaning is derived from its constituent parts: '빌리다' (to borrow) + '오다' (to come). This literally means 'to borrow and come'.
KoreanicContexte culturel
There are no particular sensitivities associated with this word, as it describes a common and everyday action. However, as with any borrowing, it's important to be respectful of the lender's property and return items promptly.
In English-speaking cultures, the concept of borrowing and bringing is similar, often expressed as 'Can I borrow X and bring it over?' or 'I borrowed X from them and brought it back.' The Korean verb neatly packages these two actions into one.

Questions fréquentes
10 questions빌리다 is the general verb for 'to borrow'. It doesn't specify the direction of movement. 빌려오다 is a compound verb meaning 'to borrow and bring'. The '오다' (to come) part emphasizes that the borrowed item is brought to the speaker's location. For example, '나는 친구에게서 책을 빌렸다.' (I borrowed a book from my friend.) This is general. '나는 친구에게서 책을 빌려왔다.' (I borrowed a book from my friend and brought it here.) This emphasizes the bringing part.
Yes, '빌려오다' can be used for borrowing money, especially when emphasizing that the money was received and brought to you. For example, '급해서 엄마에게서 돈을 빌려왔어요.' (I was in a hurry, so I borrowed money from my mom and brought it.) However, '빌리다' is also very commonly used for money, and sometimes '차용하다' (a more formal term) is used in business contexts.
Generally, '빌려오다' implies borrowing from someone else or another place distinct from your current location. If you are moving an item from one room to another within your own house, you would typically use '가져오다' (to bring) or '옮기다' (to move). For example, '내 방에서 책을 가져와서 거실에서 읽을 거예요.' (I will bring the book from my room and read it in the living room.)
The opposite action from the lender's perspective is '빌려주다' (to lend and give). The opposite movement from the borrower's perspective is '빌려가다' (to borrow and take away). The action that concludes the borrowing is '돌려주다' or '반납하다' (to return).
You can use polite forms like: '혹시 이 펜 좀 빌려올 수 있을까요?' (By any chance, could I borrow this pen and bring it?) or more casually, '펜 하나 빌려와.' (Borrow a pen and bring it.) The suffix '-ㄹ 수 있다' is often used for polite requests.
Yes, the '오다' (to come) part of the verb strongly implies that the borrowed item has arrived at the speaker's location or the location relevant to the conversation. It signifies the completion of the borrowing and bringing action.
While '빌려오다' is primarily used for physical objects, it can occasionally be used figuratively for abstract things if the 'bringing' aspect is emphasized. However, for borrowing ideas or concepts, more formal verbs like '차용하다' or simply '참고하다' (to refer to) are more common.
If you borrow something and use it at the lender's place, you would typically just use the verb '빌리다' (to borrow). The '오다' (to come) in '빌려오다' signifies movement to your own location, which wouldn't apply in this case.
You would use the past tense of '빌려오다'. For example, '나는 그 책을 빌려왔어요.' (I borrowed that book and brought it.) To emphasize the return, you would add '그리고 돌려주었어요.' (and I returned it.)
In formal writing, especially academic or business contexts, '빌려오다' might be used, but more formal equivalents like '차용하다' (for abstract things) or descriptions of formal rental ('대여하다') are often preferred for physical objects. However, in narratives or descriptive contexts, '빌려오다' can still appear.
