질책 en 30 secondes
- Formal reprimand or severe scolding.
- Given by authority for mistakes.
- Implies serious criticism for correction.
- Meaning
- The Korean word '질책' (jilchaek) refers to a formal or serious reprimand, scolding, or telling-off. It implies a criticism given by someone in a position of authority or responsibility to someone who has made a mistake, acted improperly, or failed to meet expectations. It's not a casual complaint but a more significant expression of disapproval, often accompanied by a lecture or a stern warning. This word is used in situations where someone's actions have caused concern, disappointment, or have violated rules or norms. It carries a sense of accountability and the expectation that the person being rebuked will reflect on their behavior and make amends. The tone is typically serious and conveys a strong sense of displeasure.
- Contexts
- You might encounter '질책' in formal settings like workplaces, schools, or even within families when a parent is seriously addressing a child's misbehavior. It's common in news reports discussing disciplinary actions, in historical accounts of leaders addressing their subordinates, or in literature depicting moments of serious admonishment. The act of '질책' often involves a clear explanation of the wrongdoing and the consequences or expectations for future behavior. It's a way for someone to assert authority and guide others towards correct conduct. It can also be used metaphorically, for instance, when nature 'rebukes' humanity for its actions, though this is less common. The core idea is a strong, often formal, expression of disapproval aimed at correction.
The manager gave a stern 질책 to the employee who missed the deadline.
The teacher's 질책 made the student realize the seriousness of their actions.
- Nuance
- While '꾸중' (kkujung) also means scolding, '질책' often implies a more official or formal reprimand, usually from someone in a superior position. It carries more weight and a greater sense of authority behind it. Consider the difference between a parent scolding a child for not cleaning their room ('꾸중') versus a CEO reprimanding a division head for a major company failure ('질책').
He received a formal 질책 from the board of directors.
- Subject + Object + Verb
- A common sentence structure involves a subject performing the action of '질책' on an object. The subject is typically someone in authority, and the object is the person or group being reprimanded. For example, 'The teacher gave the student a rebuke.' In Korean, this would often be structured as '선생님은 학생에게 질책을 했다' (Seonsaengnim-eun haksaeng-ege jilchaek-eul haetda). The particle '에게' (ege) indicates the recipient of the action. The verb '하다' (hada - to do) is frequently used with '질책' to form the phrase '질책하다' (jilchaekhada - to rebuke or scold).
The supervisor issued a strong 질책 to his team for their poor performance.
- Receiving a Rebuke
- Sentences can also focus on the act of receiving the rebuke. This often uses passive constructions or phrases that indicate someone was on the receiving end of the criticism. For instance, 'The employee was subjected to a severe rebuke.' In Korean, this could be expressed as '그 직원은 심한 질책을 받았다' (Geu jigwon-eun simhan jilchaek-eul badatda). Here, '받았다' (badatda - to receive) is used. Alternatively, one might say '그는 질책을 당했다' (Geu-neun jilchaek-eul danghaetda), where '당하다' (danghada) implies undergoing or suffering something negative.
After the mistake, she nervously awaited the expected 질책.
- Describing the Rebuke
- '질책' can also be used descriptively, often with adjectives or adverbs to specify the nature or severity of the rebuke. For example, 'a stern rebuke' or 'a lengthy scolding.' In Korean, adjectives like '심한' (simhan - severe), '엄한' (eomhan - strict/stern), or '따끔한' (ttakkeumhan - sharp/pointed) can precede '질책'. For instance, '그의 따끔한 질책은 나에게 큰 충격을 주었다' (Geu-ui ttakkeumhan jilchaek-eun na-ege keun chunggyeok-eul jueotda - His sharp rebuke gave me a big shock). This allows for more nuanced expression of the experience of being rebuked.
The company president's 질책 was so severe that the entire department felt the pressure.
The parent's stern 질책 was a turning point for the child.
- Formal vs. Informal
- While '질책' itself is a noun that can be used in various contexts, the surrounding language will often indicate formality. Using honorifics when referring to the person doing the rebuking, or using more formal verb endings, will enhance the sense of formality. Conversely, in a less formal context, the word might be used with a slightly ironic or exaggerated tone, but its core meaning of a serious reprimand remains.
- News and Media
- '질책' is frequently used in news reports, especially when discussing political figures, corporate leaders, or military personnel who have been disciplined or publicly criticized. For example, a news headline might read, 'The minister faced strong 질책 from the opposition party.' This usage highlights the formal and often public nature of the reprimand. You'll also hear it in documentaries or historical programs discussing leadership and accountability.
The article detailed the CEO's public 질책 of the underperforming department.
- Workplace and Academia
- In professional and academic environments, '질책' is used to describe formal disciplinary actions or serious feedback. A manager might give a formal 질책 to an employee for repeated violations of company policy. Similarly, a professor might issue a stern 질책 to a student for academic dishonesty. This term signifies a more serious intervention than a casual warning.
The university disciplinary committee issued a 질책 to the student involved in the cheating scandal.
- Literature and Drama
- In Korean literature, historical dramas, and even modern fictional works, '질책' is used to portray moments of significant disapproval or correction from characters in positions of power. A king might deliver a harsh 질책 to a disloyal subject, or a wise elder might offer a pointed 질책 to a younger, wayward character. These scenes often serve to advance the plot or reveal character dynamics.
In the historical drama, the general received a severe 질책 from the king for his battlefield failures.
- Formal Discussions
- Even in more formal everyday conversations, people might refer to instances where they or someone else received a '질책'. For example, someone might recount, 'My father gave me a really strong 질책 when I failed my exam.' This usage maintains the sense of a significant reprimand, even in a personal anecdote.
- Confusing with Casual Complaints
- A common mistake is to use '질책' for minor annoyances or casual complaints. '질책' implies a formal or serious reprimand from someone in a position of authority. Using it for something trivial, like a friend complaining about you being late by five minutes, would be an overstatement. For casual complaints, words like '불평' (bulpyeong - complaint) or simply describing the issue might be more appropriate. For instance, saying 'I got a 질책 for being late' when it was just a minor delay might sound overly dramatic or inappropriate in most contexts.
Mistake: My friend gave me a 질책 because I forgot to call him. (Too informal for '질책')
- Incorrect Verb Usage
- Another mistake is using the wrong verb or grammatical structure. While '질책하다' (to rebuke) is common, learners might incorrectly try to use it with verbs that don't fit or misunderstand how to express receiving a rebuke. For example, instead of saying 'I received a rebuke' (질책을 받았다 - jilchaek-eul badatda), they might try to force a verb like '말하다' (malhada - to say) in an awkward way. It's important to remember that '질책' is often the object of verbs like '하다' (to do), '받다' (to receive), or '당하다' (to suffer/undergo).
Mistake: He 질책ed the mistake. (Incorrect verb usage; should be '질책했다' or describe the action)
- Overusing in Personal Relationships
- While parents might give their children a serious reprimand, using '질책' too frequently in close personal relationships can sound overly formal or even harsh. For everyday disagreements or corrections among friends or family, softer terms or more direct, less formal expressions are usually preferred. Overusing '질책' might create an unnecessary sense of hierarchy or distance where it's not intended.
Mistake: My spouse gave me a 질책 for not doing the dishes. (Generally too formal for spousal communication)
- Confusing with Criticism
- While '질책' is a form of criticism, not all criticism is '질책'. '질책' specifically implies a formal or authoritative reprimand aimed at correcting wrongdoing. General criticism, feedback, or expressing disagreement might use different vocabulary. For example, a movie review offers criticism, but it's not a '질책'.
- 꾸중 (kkujung)
- '꾸중' is a more general term for scolding or reprimanding. It can be used in both formal and informal contexts, and it doesn't necessarily carry the same weight or implication of authority as '질책'. Think of '꾸중' as a broader category that includes '질책' but also encompasses less formal admonishments. For example, a parent might '꾸중' a child for playing too late, which might not be as formal or severe as a '질책'.
Comparison: The teacher gave the student a 꾸중 for talking in class. (Common, less formal)
- 야단 (yadan)
- '야단' often refers to a scolding, a fuss, or even a commotion. It can imply a more emotional or heated reprimand, sometimes involving a lot of talking or making a scene. While it can mean a scolding, it's often used for more agitated or noisy reprimands compared to the more measured and formal '질책'. It can also refer to a commotion or uproar.
Comparison: The parent raised a lot of 야단 when the child broke the vase. (Implies a noisy scolding)
- 비난 (binan)
- '비난' means criticism or denunciation. While '질책' is a type of criticism, '비난' is broader and can refer to any form of expressing disapproval or finding fault, not necessarily with the intent to correct or from a position of authority. '질책' is more specific to a formal reprimand.
Comparison: The public 비난 against the politician was intense. (General criticism)
- 훈계 (hungye)
- '훈계' refers to admonition or instruction, often given with the intent to guide or teach. It carries a more positive and educational connotation than '질책'. While it involves correction, the focus is on moral guidance or proper conduct, and it's usually delivered in a more pedagogical manner. '질책' is about reproaching for a fault, while '훈계' is about imparting wisdom or correct principles.
Comparison: The elder offered wise 훈계 to the young villagers. (Instructional)
How Formal Is It?
Le savais-tu ?
The character '叱' itself is onomatopoeic, imitating the sound of a sharp scolding. This emphasizes the forceful nature of the reprimand implied by the word '질책'. The combination highlights both the act of scolding and the imposition of responsibility.

Using '질책을 하다' (to give a rebuke), '질책을 받다' (to receive a rebuke), or '질책을 당하다' (to suffer a rebuke) with appropriate particles and context.
'질책' is often the object of verbs like '하다', '받다', or '당하다'. Simply saying '질책했다' can be grammatically incomplete or awkward without specifying who is rebuking whom or what the context is. Example: 'The manager 질책했다' is incomplete. Better: 'The manager gave a 질책 to the employee.'
-
Confusing '질책' with general criticism ('비난').
→
Using '비난' for general expressions of disapproval and '질책' for formal reprimands from authority.
While '질책' is a form of criticism, '비난' is broader and can be given by anyone without implying authority or a corrective purpose. '질책' is specific to a formal admonishment for wrongdoing. Example: 'The public 비난ed the policy' vs. 'The committee issued a 질책 for the policy violation.'
-
Using '질책' when '훈계' (admonition/instruction) would be more appropriate.
→
Using '훈계' when the intent is guidance and teaching, and '질책' when the intent is to reprimand for a fault.
'훈계' focuses on imparting wisdom and guiding behavior positively. '질책' focuses on correcting a past mistake or fault. Using '질책' for advice can sound overly critical and misrepresent the intention. Example: 'The elder gave wise 훈계' vs. 'The boss gave a 질책 for missing the deadline.'
-
Treating '질책' as a common, everyday word.
→
Understanding that '질책' is generally used in more serious, formal, or official contexts.
Overusing '질책' in casual conversations can make the speaker sound overly formal, harsh, or even pretentious. It's important to gauge the situation and relationship before using such a strong term. Example: It's unlikely you would say 'My friend gave me a 질책 for borrowing their pen.'

Origine du mot
The word '질책' is a Sino-Korean word, meaning it is derived from Chinese characters. It is composed of two Hanja: '叱' (질 - jil) and '責' (책 - chaek).
Sens originel : '叱' (jil) means to scold or chide, often with a sharp sound. '責' (chaek) means to blame, accuse, or demand responsibility. Together, they form the meaning of a stern rebuke or admonishment for a fault.
Sino-Korean (derived from Chinese characters)Contexte culturel
When using '질책', be mindful of the power dynamics involved. It is generally used when someone in a superior position is addressing a subordinate or someone who has committed a significant error. Using it in casual conversation or between equals can sound overly harsh or out of place.
In English-speaking cultures, similar concepts exist such as 'rebuke,' 'reprimand,' 'scolding,' or 'dressing down.' The formality and severity can vary greatly, but the core idea of expressing strong disapproval for wrongdoing is universal.

Questions fréquentes
10 questions'질책' (jilchaek) is a more formal and serious reprimand, typically given by someone in authority for a significant mistake or wrongdoing. It carries more weight and officiality. '꾸중' (kkujung) is a more general term for scolding and can be used in a wider range of situations, including less formal ones and by people without strong authority. Think of '질책' as a formal dressing-down and '꾸중' as a more general telling-off.
Generally, '질책' is not used in very informal settings among close friends or peers, as it implies a level of authority and seriousness that would feel out of place. While it's possible to use it hyperbolically, its core meaning is formal. For casual complaints or disagreements, other words like '꾸중' or simply describing the issue are more appropriate.
A '질책' is typically given by someone in a position of authority or responsibility. This could be a manager to an employee, a teacher to a student, a parent to a child (in a serious context), a superior officer to a subordinate, or even a governing body to an organization or individual.
The tone associated with '질책' is serious, stern, and disapproving. It conveys a strong sense of displeasure with the recipient's actions and often includes an expectation of correction or accountability.
While '질책' involves criticism and disapproval, its underlying purpose is often corrective. It's meant to point out a fault and guide the person towards better behavior or understanding. So, while the experience of receiving it is negative, the intent can be constructive, aiming to prevent future mistakes.
The most common verbs used with '질책' are '하다' (hada - to do/give), '받다' (batda - to receive), and '당하다' (danghada - to suffer/undergo). So you might hear '질책을 하다' (to give a rebuke), '질책을 받다' (to receive a rebuke), or '질책을 당하다' (to suffer a rebuke).
While the term '질책' itself implies an external authority, the concept of self-reprimand or self-criticism for one's own faults is expressed using '자기 질책' (jagi jilchaek), which literally means 'self-rebuke'.
'질책' is a form of disciplinary action or criticism, usually within organizational or social contexts. Legal punishment involves formal sanctions imposed by the state through the judicial system for breaking laws. While both involve consequences for wrongdoing, '질책' is typically less severe and operates outside the legal framework.
Good English equivalents include 'rebuke,' 'reprimand,' 'scolding' (especially a formal one), or 'admonishment.' The best choice depends on the specific context and the degree of formality and severity.
You would use '질책' in writing when describing formal disciplinary actions, serious criticisms from authorities, or in literary contexts depicting stern admonishments. For instance, in a news report about a company scandal or in a historical drama.
