§ What 능력이 있다 means

Korean Word: 능력이 있다 (neungnyeogi itda)

Type: Adjective

CEFR Level: A2

Definition: To be capable, competent; having the ability to do something.

When you say someone is 능력이 있다, you're saying they have the skill or talent to do something well. It's a very common and practical way to describe someone's abilities in Korean. Think of it as saying 'they are able' or 'they are good at it'.

§ How to use 능력이 있다

You'll hear 능력이 있다 in many everyday situations, especially when talking about work, school, or even in the news. It's a useful phrase to describe people who are good at their jobs, students who are smart, or even athletes who perform well.

At Work: If a colleague consistently delivers good results, your boss might say that person is 능력이 있다. It's a compliment about their professional skills.
김대리는 정말 능력이 있어요. (Assistant Manager Kim is really capable.)
At School: When a student grasps new concepts quickly or excels in their studies, teachers or fellow students might describe them as 능력이 있다.
저 학생은 수학에 능력이 있습니다. (That student is competent in math.)
In the News/General Talk: You might hear this phrase when commentators discuss politicians, athletes, or artists who show significant talent or skill in their fields.
그 선수는 골을 넣는 데 능력이 뛰어납니다. (That player has excellent ability to score goals.)

§ Practical tips for using 능력이 있다

You can also use this phrase with a specific field or skill. For example, if someone is good at speaking English, you could say "영어에 능력이 있다" (to be capable in English).

그는 외국어에 능력이 많습니다. (He has a lot of ability in foreign languages.)

Don't confuse 능력이 있다 with just being 'good' at something. While related, 능력이 있다 specifically points to an inherent or developed capability, rather than just a temporary good performance.

रोचक तथ्य

Many Korean words are formed by combining Chinese characters (Hanja) to create new meanings, similar to how Latin or Greek roots are used in English.

सुझाव

Learn the Base Form

Remember that 능력있다 is an adjective. This means it describes a noun. The base form is what you'll find in dictionaries.

Practice with Sentence Endings

Like all Korean adjectives, 능력있다 changes based on politeness levels and sentence types. For example, in a polite declarative sentence, it becomes 능력있어요 (neungnyeokisseoyo). In a more formal setting, it might be 능력있습니다 (neungnyeokissseumnida).

Break Down the Word

능력 (neungnyeok) means 'ability' or 'capacity,' and 있다 (itta) means 'to have' or 'to exist.' So, literally, 능력있다 means 'to have ability.'

Use with People

This word is almost always used to describe people. You wouldn't typically use it for objects or abstract concepts. Think 'a capable person' or 'an able student'.

Compare with Similar Words

While 능력있다 focuses on general capability, you might also encounter 잘하다 (jalhada), which means 'to do something well.' 잘하다 is a verb, not an adjective. So, you'd say '그는 축구를 잘해요' (He plays soccer well) rather than '그는 축구를 능력있어요'.

Form Noun Modifiers

To describe a noun, you'll use 능력있는 (neungnyeoginneun). For example, 능력있는 사람 (neungnyeoginneun saram) means 'a capable person'.

Practice with Examples

Try creating your own sentences. For instance, 우리 팀장님은 정말 능력있는 분이세요. (Our team leader is a truly capable person.)

Listen for Context

When you hear 능력있다 in conversations or dramas, pay attention to who is being described and in what situation. This helps solidify its meaning in your mind.

Don't Confuse with Physical Strength

능력있다 refers to mental or skill-based capability, not physical strength. For physical strength, you'd use words like 힘이 세다 (himi seda), meaning 'to be strong'.

Common Phrases

A common way to say someone is capable is 그 사람 정말 능력있어요 (Geu saram jeongmal neungnyeokisseoyo), meaning 'That person is really capable.'
