इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
Generally positive (leisure, convenience) but can be negative in contexts of health or personal finance (unhealthy, expensive).
Neutral. Can be used in any setting.
Often replaced by '밖에서 먹자' (let's eat outside) in highly casual speech.
- Saying '외식을 먹다' instead of '외식하다'.
- Using '회식' when referring to eating out with family.
- Using '외식' when ordering delivery food to the house.
- Confusing '외식비' (dining out cost) with '식비' (total food cost including groceries).

सुझाव
Use with 하다
Always pair 외식 with the verb 하다 to express the action of eating out. Never use it with 먹다 (to eat). Say 외식하다, not 외식을 먹다.
Not for Delivery
Remember that 외식 requires leaving the house. If you order pizza to your apartment, use 배달 (delivery), not 외식.
외식 vs 회식
Keep your social circles straight! 외식 is for family and friends. 회식 is strictly for drinking and eating with your boss and coworkers.
Money Matters
Learn the word 외식비 (dining out expenses). It's incredibly useful for talking about your budget or complaining about how expensive things are.
Casual Alternative
In very casual conversation with close friends, saying '밖에서 먹자' (Let's eat outside) is often more natural than the slightly more formal '외식하자'.
News Vocabulary
When reading Korean news, look out for '외식 물가' (dining out prices). It's a standard indicator used to discuss inflation and the economy.
Listen for the 'Sik'
The syllable '식' (sik) means food/meal. Recognizing this root will help you understand words like 외식, 회식, 간식 (snack), and 조식 (breakfast).
Contrasting Ideas
When writing an essay in Korean, contrasting 외식 (eating out) with 집밥 (home cooking) is a great way to discuss lifestyle, health, or financial choices.
Family Outings
The phrase '가족 외식' (family dining out) is practically a fixed expression in Korean. Use it when talking about weekend plans with your parents or children.
Noun Modifier
외식 can act as an adjective modifying another noun. For example, 외식 메뉴 (eating out menu) or 외식 장소 (place to eat out).
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Imagine going 'WAY SICK' (외식) from eating too much junk food while EATING OUT every day.
शब्द की उत्पत्ति

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवाल외식 (oe-sik) means eating out in general, usually with family or friends. 회식 (hoe-sik) specifically means a company dinner or a gathering with coworkers. You would not use 회식 when eating with your family. Confusing these two is a very common mistake for learners. Always use 외식 for personal dining out.
No, 외식 strictly implies physically leaving your home to eat at a restaurant or food stall. If you order food to be delivered to your house, you should use the word 배달 (bae-dal). Eating delivery food at home is not considered 외식.
The most common and natural way to say this casually is '우리 외식하자' (u-ri oe-sik-ha-ja). If you want to be polite, you can say '외식할까요?' (oe-sik-hal-kka-yo?) which means 'Shall we eat out?'. Another casual alternative is '밖에서 먹자' (bak-e-seo meok-ja), meaning 'Let's eat outside'.
외식 itself is a noun meaning 'eating out' or 'dining out'. To use it as a verb, you must add the verb 하다 (to do) to make 외식하다 (to eat out). You can also use it with the object marker as 외식을 하다.
외식비 (oe-sik-bi) is a compound word made of 외식 (eating out) and 비 (expense/cost). It refers to the money spent on dining out. It is a common term used when discussing personal budgets, household expenses, or economic inflation.
The most common conceptual opposite of 외식 is 집밥 (jip-bap), which literally translates to 'home rice' and means a home-cooked meal. People often contrast the two, for example, saying they prefer 집밥 over 외식 for health reasons.
No, '외식을 먹다' is incorrect and sounds unnatural because 외식 already contains the meaning of eating (식). You should use the verb 하다, making it '외식(을) 하다'. If you want to use the verb 먹다, say '밖에서 먹다' (eat outside).
The Hanja for 외식 is 外食. 外 (oe) means 'outside' or 'external', and 食 (sik) means 'food' or 'to eat'. Knowing the Hanja helps you understand other related words like 외국 (foreign country) or 식당 (restaurant).
Yes, 외식 is a neutral term that can be used in any level of formality. In formal news or economic reports, you will frequently hear terms like 외식 산업 (food service industry) or 외식 물가 (dining out prices).
You can ask '얼마나 자주 외식하세요?' (eol-ma-na ja-ju oe-sik-ha-se-yo?), which translates to 'How often do you eat out?'. To answer, you can use frequency words like 일주일에 한 번 (once a week) or 한 달에 두 번 (twice a month) followed by 외식해요.
