A2 verb #2,500 le plus courant 7 min de lecture

살펴보다

At the A1 level, '살펴보다' is introduced as a way to say 'look at' something more carefully than just '보다'. Beginners learn it in the context of looking at pictures, looking around a room, or checking a map. It is often taught as a polite suggestion using the '~아/어 보세요' form. For example, a teacher might say '그림을 살펴보세요' (Please look at the picture). At this stage, the focus is on the physical act of looking at an object to see what it is. It helps students move beyond basic verbs and start expressing more intentional actions. The conjugation is simple because it follows the '보다' pattern, which students learn early on. It is a useful word for basic survival situations, like looking at a menu or a bus schedule.
At the A2 level, learners use '살펴보다' to describe daily routines and simple tasks. It is commonly used for 'checking' things—checking the weather, checking if you have your keys, or looking over a short text for mistakes. The CEFR A2 learner understands that this verb implies a bit more effort than '보다'. They can use it in sentences like '시장을 살펴봤어요' (I looked around the market) or '가방 안을 살펴봤어요' (I looked inside the bag). This level also introduces the idea of 'looking after' someone in a basic sense, like checking on a sleeping baby. The word becomes a tool for describing careful observation in everyday life.
At the B1 level, the usage of '살펴보다' expands into more abstract and professional contexts. Learners start to use it when discussing plans, reviewing homework, or explaining a process. It is frequently used in the context of 'examining' a situation or 'considering' options. For example, '여러 가지 방법을 살펴보고 있어요' (I am looking into various methods). B1 learners can also use it to describe the introductory part of a presentation or an essay, such as '먼저 이 그래프를 살펴보겠습니다' (First, let's look at this graph). The nuance of 'scrutiny' becomes more apparent, and it is often paired with adverbs like '자세히' (in detail) or '꼼꼼히' (meticulously).
At the B2 level, '살펴보다' is used to analyze complex information and social phenomena. Learners can use it to describe the act of 'monitoring' trends or 'evaluating' arguments. It appears in more formal writing and speech, often replaced by or paired with synonyms like '검토하다' or '분석하다' to show a range of vocabulary. A B2 learner might say, '정부의 정책이 서민들에게 미치는 영향을 살펴봐야 합니다' (We must examine the impact of government policies on the common people). The word now carries a sense of critical thinking and systematic review. It is also used to describe looking into the history or background of a topic.
At the C1 level, '살펴보다' is used with high precision in academic and professional discourse. It often refers to the 'investigation' of subtle nuances, underlying causes, or philosophical implications. A C1 learner uses it to structure complex arguments: '이 논문에서는 근대 사회의 변화를 세 가지 관점에서 살펴보고자 한다' (In this paper, I intend to examine the changes in modern society from three perspectives). The word is used to describe a deep, comprehensive review that leaves no stone unturned. It also appears in literary contexts to describe a character's internal reflection or a detailed description of a scene.
At the C2 level, '살펴보다' is a versatile tool for nuanced expression. It can be used ironically, metaphorically, or with extreme technical specificity. A C2 speaker might use it to describe the 'dissection' of a complex legal document or the 'contemplation' of a profound existential question. It is used in high-level journalism and literature to provide a 'panoramic view' or a 'microscopic analysis' of a subject. At this level, the speaker understands the perfect balance between '살펴보다' and its more formal counterparts, choosing it specifically when they want to maintain a sense of human agency and visual attention within a formal framework.

살펴보다 en 30 secondes

  • 살펴보다 is a compound verb meaning to examine or check something with focused attention, combining 'to look into' and 'to try seeing'.
  • It is commonly used for checking safety (crossing streets), reviewing documents (contracts), or browsing items in a store (looking around).
  • Grammatically, it is a transitive verb requiring an object marker (~을/를) and conjugates like the basic verb '보다' (to see).
  • It is more formal and intentional than the simple '보다' and is essential for academic transitions and professional inspections.

The Korean verb 살펴보다 is a compound verb formed by combining the verb 살피다 (to look into, to check, to be attentive) and the auxiliary verb 보다 (to see, to try doing). At its core, it describes the act of looking at something with a specific purpose: to understand its state, to find errors, to ensure safety, or to gather information. Unlike the simple verb 보다 (to see/look), which can be passive or casual, 살펴보다 implies an active, intentional, and often systematic process of observation.

Visual Inspection
Looking over an object or a place to see if everything is in order.
Cognitive Examination
Reviewing a document, a plan, or a situation to grasp the details or identify potential issues.
Safety Check
Scanning surroundings (like crossing a street) to ensure there is no danger.

In a practical sense, think of it as 'scanning' or 'checking out.' When you enter a room and look around to see who is there, you are 살펴보는 중 (in the middle of looking around). When a doctor examines a patient's throat, they are 목을 살펴보다. It carries a nuance of care and attention to detail that is absent in more generic verbs.

"길을 건너기 전에 양옆을 잘 살펴보세요." (Please look carefully at both sides before crossing the street.)

— A common safety instruction in Korea.

The word is versatile across different levels of formality. Whether you are a scientist examining data or a child looking for a lost toy, 살펴보다 is the appropriate term for that focused visual effort. It bridges the gap between casual looking and formal investigation.

"계약서를 꼼꼼히 살펴본 후에 서명하세요." (Sign after examining the contract thoroughly.)

Etymology Note
The root '살피-' is related to the idea of being 'sharp' or 'discerning.' It suggests a piercing gaze that doesn't just see the surface but understands the underlying condition.

Furthermore, in social contexts, it can mean to look after someone's well-being. For instance, 환자의 상태를 살펴보다 means to monitor a patient's condition. This adds a layer of empathy or professional responsibility to the word's definition.

Using 살펴보다 correctly requires understanding its transitive nature; it almost always takes an object marked by ~을/를. Because it is a compound verb, its conjugation follows the standard rules for 보다. In polite speech, it becomes 살펴봐요 (present) or 살펴봤어요 (past). In formal settings, it becomes 살펴봅니다 or 살펴보았습니다.

Basic Sentence Structure
[Subject] + [Object] + 을/를 + 살펴보다.
With Adverbs
[Subject] + [Object] + 을/를 + [Adverb] + 살펴보다.

One of the most common ways to use this verb is when you are asking someone to check something for you. Using the ~아/어 보세요 (please try/do) ending is very natural. For example, if you give someone a gift, you might say, "안을 한번 살펴보세요" (Take a look inside). This sounds much more natural and polite than just saying "보세요."

"제 제안서를 다시 한번 살펴봐 주시겠어요?" (Would you mind looking over my proposal once more?)

In written Korean, particularly in academic or business reports, 살펴보다 is used to introduce a topic of analysis. Phrases like "다음으로 ~에 대해 살펴보겠습니다" (Next, we will look into...) are standard transitions. It signals to the reader that the writer is about to provide a detailed explanation or evidence regarding a specific point.

Another nuance is the use of the word in the context of 'monitoring.' If you are watching a child to make sure they don't get hurt, or watching a pot to make sure it doesn't boil over, 살펴보다 is the perfect verb. It implies a continuous or repeated action of checking.

"아이들이 놀이터에서 노는 것을 잘 살펴보고 있어요." (I am watching carefully as the children play at the playground.)

Common Tense Forms
살펴보는 중이다 (is currently examining), 살펴볼 것이다 (will examine), 살펴봐야 한다 (must examine).

You will encounter 살펴보다 in a wide variety of daily and professional environments in Korea. It is a 'high-frequency' verb because checking and examining are fundamental human activities. From the subway station to the corporate boardroom, the word is ubiquitous.

At the Store
When a customer is browsing items, a clerk might ask, "필요한 게 있으시면 말씀해 주세요. 천천히 살펴보세요." (Let me know if you need anything. Please take your time looking around.)
In the Office
A manager might say, "이 보고서의 수치를 다시 한번 살펴봐야 할 것 같아요." (I think we need to look over the numbers in this report again.)
On the News
News anchors often use it when transitioning to a detailed report: "이번 사건의 배경을 자세히 살펴보겠습니다." (We will now look closely at the background of this incident.)

In medical contexts, doctors use it constantly. During a check-up, a doctor might say, "환부(the affected area)를 좀 살펴볼게요." This sounds professional yet reassuring, indicating that they are going to perform a careful inspection rather than just a quick glance.

"주변을 잘 살펴보고 수상한 사람이 있으면 신고하세요." (Look around carefully and report if there is any suspicious person.)

— Public safety announcement.

In educational settings, teachers use it to encourage students to find answers or errors. "문제를 다시 한번 살펴보세요" (Look at the problem once more) is a common phrase when a student makes a mistake. It suggests that the answer is there if they look closely enough.

"기상 상황을 살펴본 후에 출발 시간을 결정합시다." (Let's decide the departure time after checking the weather conditions.)

While 살펴보다 is a straightforward verb, learners often confuse it with other 'looking' verbs or use it in contexts where a more specific term is required. Understanding the boundaries of this word will help you sound more like a native speaker.

Confusing with '보다'
보다 is general. 살펴보다 is specific. Don't say "영화를 살펴봤어요" unless you were literally examining the film for technical errors. For watching a movie, use 보다.
Confusing with '관찰하다' (Observe)
관찰하다 is more scientific or long-term. You 관찰 a plant growing over weeks. You 살펴보다 a plant to see if it needs water right now.
Confusing with '검토하다' (Review)
검토하다 is more formal and usually applies to documents or plans in a business context. While you can 살펴보다 a document, 검토하다 implies a deeper level of official scrutiny.

A common grammatical mistake is omitting the object marker. Since 살펴보다 is a transitive verb, saying "방 살펴봤어요" is okay in casual speech, but "방을 살펴봤어요" is the correct form. Also, be careful with the '보다' auxiliary; some learners try to say 살펴봐 보다 (trying to try looking), which is redundant.

❌ "어제 친구 얼굴을 살펴봤어요." (Sounds like you were inspecting their face for blemishes.)

✅ "어제 친구를 만났어요 / 봤어요." (I met/saw my friend yesterday.)

Another mistake is using it for 'looking for' a lost item. While you 살펴보다 the area where you lost your keys, the actual act of searching for the keys is 찾다. 살펴보다 is the method; 찾다 is the goal.

"지갑이 어디 있는지 책상 위를 살펴봤지만 못 찾았어요." (I looked over the desk to see where my wallet was, but I couldn't find it.)

Korean has a rich vocabulary for the act of seeing and examining. Depending on the intensity and the object, you might choose a different word than 살펴보다. Here is a breakdown of synonyms and related terms.

확인하다 (To Check/Confirm)
Used when you want to verify if something is true or if a task is completed. "문이 잠겼는지 확인하세요."
검토하다 (To Review/Examine)
A more formal word used for documents, proposals, or theories. "서류를 검토하고 연락드리겠습니다."
조사하다 (To Investigate/Survey)
Used for systematic research or police investigations. "사건의 원인을 조사하고 있습니다."
훑어보다 (To Scan/Skim)
Used when you look through something quickly rather than carefully. "신문을 대충 훑어봤어요."

The main difference is the 'depth' of the look. 훑어보다 is shallow and fast. 살펴보다 is careful and attentive. 검토하다 is professional and analytical. 조사하다 is deep and formal.

"이 두 단어의 차이점을 자세히 살펴봅시다." (Let's look closely at the differences between these two words.)

In summary, 살펴보다 is the most 'human' and 'general' of the careful-looking verbs. It doesn't require a lab coat or a business suit, but it does require your full attention.

"지도에서 목적지를 살펴보세요." (Look for the destination on the map.)

Structures de phrases

Comment l'utiliser

nuance

Implies visual inspection combined with mental processing.

formality

Suitable for all levels of speech, but very common in written analysis.

Erreurs courantes
  • Using it for watching movies (should be 보다).
  • Omitting the object marker ~을/를 in formal writing.
  • Confusing it with '찾다' (searching for a lost item).
  • Using it to mean 'to see' in a passive sense.
  • Overusing it in casual conversation where '보다' or '둘러보다' is more natural.

Astuces

Focus on the 'Check'

Always use '살펴보다' when the goal of looking is to check, verify, or find something specific. It's not for passive seeing. Think of it as 'active looking'.

Don't forget the Object

Because it's a transitive verb, make sure to use the ~을/를 marker with the thing you are looking at. This makes your Korean sound much more accurate and natural. Even in casual speech, it's better to keep it.

Polite Suggestions

Use '한번 살펴보세요' (Please take a look) when showing someone a document, a gift, or a new place. It sounds very polite and inviting. It's much better than just saying '보세요'.

Pair with '꼼꼼히'

The adverb '꼼꼼히' (meticulously) is the best friend of '살펴보다'. Using them together is a very common 'set' in Korean. It shows you are being very thorough.

Road Safety

In Korea, you'll hear '좌우를 살펴보다' (look left and right). Memorize this phrase for safety when walking in Korean cities. It's a life-saving application of the verb!

Professional Transitions

In presentations, use '다음으로 ~을 살펴보겠습니다' to move to your next point. It sounds professional and organized. It's a standard phrase in Korean business culture.

Not for Movies

Remember: never use it for movies or TV shows unless you're a critic looking for errors. For entertainment, always use the simple '보다'. This is a very common mistake for learners.

Listen for the 'Pyeo'

The '펴' sound is aspirated. If you don't aspirate it, it might sound like a different word. Practice saying 'sal-pyeo' with a puff of air.

Essay Structure

When writing an essay, use '살펴보다' in your introduction to tell the reader what you will be analyzing. It sets a clear tone for your investigation. It's a great 'academic' verb.

Nunchi Connection

While not the same as 'nunchi', '살펴보다' is the physical action you take to use your nunchi. You '살펴보다' the room to see how people are feeling.

Mémorise-le

Moyen mnémotechnique

Imagine you are a 'SPY' (sounds like 'sal-pyeo') who needs to 'LOOK' (bo-da) at a secret document carefully.

Origine du mot

Native Korean

Contexte culturel

Using '살펴보다' instead of '보다' when someone gives you something shows you value their effort.

Public announcements often use '살펴보다' to remind citizens to be vigilant.

In meetings, saying you will '살펴보다' a proposal sounds more committed than just saying you will 'read' it.

Questions fréquentes

10 questions

No, for watching TV or movies, you should use '보다'. '살펴보다' implies you are looking for something specific or checking the condition of the TV itself. Using it for entertainment sounds very strange. Stick to '영화를 보다' or 'TV를 보다'. Only use '살펴보다' if you are a technician checking the screen for dead pixels.

They are very similar, but '살펴보다' is more common in modern spoken Korean. The addition of '보다' adds a nuance of 'trying' or 'performing' the action. '살피다' can sound a bit more literary or formal in some contexts. In most daily situations, you can use '살펴보다' safely. Both mean to examine or look into something.

It is neutral and can be used in both formal and informal settings. Its formality depends on the ending you attach (e.g., 살펴봐 vs. 살펴보겠습니다). It is frequently used in professional reports and academic papers to mean 'to examine' or 'to analyze'. It is a very safe and versatile word to use in any environment.

Yes, but be careful. If you '살펴보다' a person, it usually means you are checking their health or their expression. For example, '환자를 살펴보다' (to check a patient). If you just look at a person because they are pretty or you know them, use '보다'. Using '살펴보다' on a stranger might imply you are suspicious of them or inspecting them.

You can say '방을 살펴보다'. This implies you are looking at the details of the room, perhaps checking if it's clean or seeing what furniture is there. If you are just casually glancing around, '방을 둘러보다' (to look around) is also a very common and natural alternative. '살펴보다' is slightly more focused.

Yes, '이메일을 살펴보다' is perfectly natural. It means you are reading the email carefully to understand its content or check for important information. You could also use '확인하다' (to confirm/check), but '살펴보다' emphasizes the act of reading and examining the details within the email.

Common adverbs include '꼼꼼히' (meticulously), '자세히' (in detail), '주의 깊게' (carefully), '천천히' (slowly), and '다시' (again). These all reinforce the idea of being careful. You can also use '대충' (roughly/casually) if you want to say you only gave it a quick, non-thorough look, though this is less common.

Yes, very often. '살펴봤어요' is used whenever you have finished checking something. For example, '서류를 다 살펴봤어요' (I've finished looking over the documents). It indicates that the inspection process is complete. It's a very common way to report that you have fulfilled a request to check something.

Yes, in some contexts, it means to look after someone's needs or safety. For example, '할머니를 잘 살펴드려라' (Look after your grandmother well). Here, it implies being attentive to her condition and needs. It's a warm, caring use of the word that goes beyond just visual inspection.

The noun form is '살핌', but it is not used very often on its own in daily conversation. Instead, people usually use the verb form or a different noun like '관찰' (observation) or '검토' (review). You might see '살핌' in poetic or very formal written contexts, but it's rare.
