비다 (bida) is an adjective that describes something as being empty or vacant. You'll hear it used often to talk about things like empty rooms, seats, or even your stomach if you're hungry!
For example, if a classroom is empty, you could say 교실이 비어 있어요 (gyoshiri bieo isseoyo). Or, if a seat on the bus is free, you might hear 자리가 비어 있어요 (jariga bieo isseoyo). It’s a very practical word for everyday situations.
You can also use 비다 to talk about things that are conceptually empty, like a schedule with free time. This word is really useful for describing the state of something not being full or occupied.
비다 (bida) is an adjective that describes something as being empty or vacant. You'll often hear it in situations where a space, a container, or even a schedule has nothing in it.
For example, if a seat on a bus is free, you could say '자리가 비어 있어요' (jireiga bieo isseoyo), meaning 'The seat is empty.'
It's also used for things like rooms or offices. If an office is vacant, you might hear '사무실이 비다' (samusili bida).
You can also use it to talk about your time, like '시간이 비어 있어요' (sigani bieo isseoyo) meaning 'I have free time' or 'My schedule is empty.'
비다 is an adjective that describes something as being empty or vacant. It can refer to a physical space, like an empty room or an empty seat. It can also describe a lack of something, such as an empty stomach or an empty mind.
For example, if you say "방이 비었어요," it means "The room is empty." Or if you say "배가 비었어요," it means "My stomach is empty."
§ What does 비다 (bida) mean?
Let's talk about the Korean word 비다 (bida). This is an adjective that directly translates to 'to be empty' or 'to be vacant'. It's a foundational word you'll hear and use often in daily conversations, so understanding its core meaning and how it's used is super important for your Korean learning journey.
- DEFINITION
- To be empty, vacant.
Think of anything that can be empty – a room, a seat, a bottle, your schedule, or even your mind. 비다 is the word you'll use for all of these situations. It describes a state of lacking something or having nothing inside.
§ When do people use 비다?
People use 비다 in a variety of everyday contexts. Here are some common scenarios:
- Talking about physical spaces: This is probably the most straightforward use. If a room is empty, a seat on the bus is empty, or a parking spot is empty, you use 비다.
- Referring to containers: When a bottle is empty, a cup is empty, or a box is empty, 비다 is the correct word.
- Discussing schedules or time: If your schedule is free or you have some spare time, you can say your schedule is 'empty'.
- Figurative emptiness: While less common at the A2 level, you might also hear it used to describe a feeling of emptiness or a vacant look. However, focus on the more literal meanings first.
Let's look at some examples to make this clear. Pay attention to how 비다 is used with different nouns.
이 방이 비어 있어요. (This room is empty.)
Here, 방 (bang) means 'room'. The conjugated form 비어 있어요 (bieo isseoyo) is the common way to say something 'is empty' in polite speech.
빈자리가 없어요. (There are no empty seats.)
In this example, we see 빈 (bin) which is the descriptive form of 비다 used to modify a noun. 빈자리 (binjari) literally means 'empty seat'. This is a super useful construction to know!
냉장고가 비었어. (The refrigerator is empty.)
This is a more casual way to say 'the refrigerator is empty'. 냉장고 (naengjanggo) is 'refrigerator'. You can use this with friends or family.
Mastering 비다 will greatly improve your ability to describe situations in Korean. It's a simple concept, but incredibly versatile. Keep practicing these examples and try to make your own sentences using different nouns. The more you use it, the more natural it will feel!

저는 오늘 아침 식사를 빨리 하고 싶지만, 냉장고가 ___ 있어요.
The sentence indicates a desire to eat quickly but the refrigerator is empty. '비어 있다' (to be empty) fits the context.
회의실은 아무도 없어서 ___ 있었다. (past tense)
The sentence states that no one was in the meeting room, so it was empty. '비어 있었다' (it was empty) is the correct past tense form.
여행 가방이 너무 ___서 더 이상 넣을 공간이 없어요.
The sentence implies that the travel bag is empty, which allows for more items to be put in. However, the full meaning is '너무 가득해서 더 이상 넣을 공간이 없어요'. The question is phrased to test the understanding of '비다' in context. Assuming the original intention was to use '비다' to mean that there IS space, this example uses '비다' to mean 'to be empty' in a way that suggests there is still room. Let's re-evaluate. If the bag is 'too empty', it would mean there is a lot of space. The sentence structure '더 이상 넣을 공간이 없어요' means 'there is no more space to put things'. This contradicts '비다'. Let's correct the question to make sense with '비다'. Corrected Question: "여행 가방이 ___ 더 넣을 공간이 없어요." This still doesn't quite work. The original definition of '비다' is 'to be empty'. If something is empty, there is space. If there is *no more space*, then it's full. Let's make the question truly fit '비다'. New question: "제 마음이 ___ 느껴질 때가 많아요."
제 마음이 ___ 느껴질 때가 많아요. (adjective form)
When one's heart feels empty, they often use '마음이 비어 있다'.
이번 주말에 카페에 갔는데, 자리가 하나도 ___ 있었다.
The sentence says there were no empty seats, meaning all seats were occupied. However, the original question is '자리가 하나도 ___ 있었다.' which implies that there was not a single empty seat. Therefore, the answer should be related to 'full'. If we want to use '비어', the sentence needs to be '자리가 많이 비어 있었다' (many seats were empty) or '자리가 하나도 비어 있지 않았다' (not a single seat was empty). Let's rephrase to fit '비어'. New question: "이번 주말에 카페에 갔는데, 자리가 많이 ___ 있었다."
이번 주말에 카페에 갔는데, 자리가 많이 ___ 있었다.
If there were many empty seats, '비어 있었다' is the correct expression.
The refrigerator is empty, so there's nothing in it.
The meeting room is vacant, so you can use it immediately.
It feels like my heart has become empty.
