결혼시키다 30 सेकंड में
- Parents arranging their child's marriage.
- A causative verb implying parental involvement in marriage.
- Common in traditional contexts or discussions of arranged unions.
- Distinguished from '결혼하다' (to get married).
- Simple Definition
- To arrange or cause one's child to get married.
- Nuance
- This verb implies that parents or guardians are actively involved in arranging or facilitating their child's marriage, often with the intention of ensuring a good match or fulfilling societal expectations. It's less about the couple's own initiative and more about the parents' actions.
- Cultural Context
- In many traditional Korean societies, parental involvement in marriage was significant. While modern marriages are often based on love and individual choice, the concept of parents arranging or 'marrying off' their children still carries historical weight and can be seen in certain contexts, especially among older generations or in more conservative families. It reflects a desire for the parents to ensure their child's future well-being through a suitable union.
부모님은 아들을 좋은 집안에 결혼시키다고 하셨다.
그녀는 딸을 성공한 사업가와 결혼시키다고 계획했다.
옛날에는 부모가 자녀를 결혼시키다는 일이 흔했다.
- Subject-Object-Verb Structure
- Korean sentence structure typically follows Subject-Object-Verb (SOV). When using '결혼시키다', the subject is usually the person doing the marrying off (often parents), and the object is the child being married off. The verb '결혼시키다' comes at the end.
- Particles
- Pay attention to particles. The subject performing the action of marrying off will often be marked with '은/는' (eun/neun) or '이/가' (i/ga). The object (the child) will be marked with '을/를' (eul/reul). The person being married to might be introduced with '에게' (ege - to someone) or '와/과' (wa/gwa - with someone).
가족들은 아들을 서른 살이 되기 전에 결혼시키려고 했다.
그녀의 부모님은 그녀를 안정적인 직업을 가진 남자와 결혼시키고 싶어 하셨다.
옛날에는 집안끼리 상의해서 자녀들을 결혼시키곤 했다.
- Historical Dramas and Literature
- This phrase is frequently encountered in historical Korean dramas (sageuk) and literature that depict traditional societies. These narratives often focus on arranged marriages, family alliances, and the role of parents in societal customs. You'll hear characters discussing plans to '결혼시키다' their children to noble families or for strategic advantages.
- Conversations with Elders
- When speaking with older generations in Korea, you might hear them reminisce about their own marriages or the marriages of their children and use '결혼시키다' to describe how parents were involved in the process. It can be used in a nostalgic or even slightly critical tone, depending on the context.
- Discussions on Arranged Marriages
- In discussions about marriage customs, societal expectations, or the changing landscape of relationships in Korea, '결혼시키다' might be used to contrast modern individualistic approaches with older, more family-centric methods. It can appear in sociology discussions, cultural analyses, or even in personal anecdotes about family pressures.
드라마에서 왕이 자신의 딸을 적국의 왕자와 결혼시키려고 했다.
할머니께서 젊으셨을 때, 부모님이 중매를 통해 남편감을 찾아 결혼시키셨다고 했다.
요즘은 부모가 자녀의 결혼에 직접 개입해서 결혼시키는 경우가 드물어졌다.
- Confusing with '결혼하다'
- The most common mistake is using '결혼시키다' when the action is simply about two people getting married themselves. '결혼하다' (gyeolhonhada) means 'to get married' and is used when the subject is the couple. For example, '저는 결혼했어요' (Jeoneun gyeolhonhaesseoyo - I got married) is correct, not '저는 결혼시켰어요' (Jeoneun gyeolhon sikyeosseoyo - I married myself off, which sounds odd).
- Incorrect Subject/Object
- Students might incorrectly assign the role of the subject or object. Remember, '결혼시키다' is about someone *causing* the marriage. So, if parents are arranging the marriage, they are the subject. Their child is the object being married off. A sentence like '아들이 결혼시켰어요' (Adeuri gyeolhon sikyeosseoyo - The son married himself off) is incorrect if the intention was for parents to arrange it. It should be '부모님이 아들을 결혼시키셨어요' (Bumonimi adeureul gyeolhon sikisyeosseoyo - The parents married off their son).
- Overuse in Modern Contexts
- While '결혼시키다' is a valid word, it's not as frequently used in everyday, modern conversations about personal marriages as '결혼하다'. Using '결혼시키다' to describe a couple's decision to marry would sound unnatural, as it implies parental coercion or arrangement where none exists. Stick to '결혼하다' for personal unions.
Mistake: 저는 딸을 결혼했어요. (X)
Correct: 저는 결혼했어요. (O)
Mistake: 부모님이 결혼했어요. (X, unless parents married each other)
Correct: 부모님이 저를 결혼시키셨어요. (O)
- 결혼하다 (gyeolhonhada)
- Meaning: To get married.
Usage: This is the most common and neutral verb for marriage. It's used when the subject is the person or couple getting married.
Example: 저는 내년에 결혼할 거예요. (I will get married next year.)
Comparison: '결혼하다' focuses on the act of marrying from the perspective of the individuals involved. '결혼시키다' focuses on the act of arranging or causing someone else to marry.
- 중매하다 (jungmaeha-da)
- Meaning: To act as a matchmaker; to arrange a marriage.
Usage: This verb specifically refers to the act of introducing potential partners with the aim of marriage. A '중매인' (jungmaein) is a matchmaker.
Example: 그들은 친구가 중매해서 만났어요. (They met because a friend acted as a matchmaker.)
Comparison: '중매하다' is the *action* of matchmaking, while '결혼시키다' is the *result* or the broader parental action of causing the marriage to happen, which might include matchmaking.
- 혼인시키다 (honinsikida)
- Meaning: To cause someone to marry; to wed (more formal/archaic).
Usage: '혼인' (honin) is a more formal or legal term for marriage than '결혼'. '혼인시키다' is also more formal and less common in everyday speech than '결혼시키다'.
Example: 법적으로 그들을 혼인시킬 수 없었다. (They could not be legally wedded.)
Comparison: '혼인시키다' is a more formal synonym for '결혼시키다', often found in legal or historical contexts. '결혼시키다' is more generally used.
- 결혼을 주선하다 (gyeolhon-eul jusseonhada)
- Meaning: To arrange a marriage; to facilitate a marriage.
Usage: This is a phrase that describes the process of arranging a marriage, often implying parental or third-party involvement.
Example: 부모님은 딸의 결혼을 주선하셨다. (The parents arranged their daughter's marriage.)
Comparison: This phrase is very close in meaning to '결혼시키다' and often used interchangeably in contexts where parental arrangement is involved. '결혼시키다' is a single verb, while this is a verb-noun phrase.

'결혼하다' means 'to get married' and is used when the subject is the person or couple getting married. '결혼시키다' means 'to cause/arrange marriage' and implies a third party (usually parents) is the subject.
'결혼식' refers to the 'wedding ceremony' itself, the event, not the act of arranging or causing the marriage.
'중매하다' specifically means 'to act as a matchmaker'. While matchmakers can lead to '결혼시키다', the verbs focus on different aspects: the act of matchmaking versus the parental act of causing the marriage.
मुहावरे और अभिव्यक्तियाँ
— Literally, 'a person with a good fate marries someone off.' It implies someone who is already well-off or has a good life is now arranging a marriage, often with a sense of ease or perhaps even entitlement.
그는 이미 부자인데, 딸을 또 다른 부자에게 결혼시키다니 팔자 좋은 사람이다.
— To marry children from two families to each other, forming an alliance between the families. This emphasizes the union of families rather than just individuals.

부모님은 딸을 늦기 전에 좋은 사람에게 넘겨주다시피 결혼시켰다.
— This idiom is a bit of a wordplay. '제 짝' means 'one's own mate/partner'. So, '제 짝을 결혼시키다' would mean to marry off one's own mate, which is nonsensical. It's more likely a misunderstanding or a humorous misapplication. A correct related idea might be '내 짝을 내가 찾아서 결혼하다' (to find my own mate and get married).
This idiom is rarely used correctly in this form. A more common expression related to finding one's own partner would be '내 짝을 찾다'.
— A straightforward expression of a parent's role in marrying off their child. It emphasizes the parental responsibility and action.
부모라면 누구나 내 자식을 결혼시키고 싶어 할 것이다.

आसानी से भ्रमित होने वाले
Both relate to marriage and can be used in sentences about people getting married.
'결혼하다' is intransitive, meaning the subject is the one getting married (e.g., 'I am getting married'). '결혼시키다' is transitive and causative, meaning the subject causes someone else to get married (e.g., 'Parents are marrying off their child'). The key difference is the agent of the action.
저는 결혼했어요. (I got married.) vs. 부모님은 저를 결혼시키셨어요. (My parents married me off.)
Both involve arranging marriages.
'중매하다' specifically refers to the act of matchmaking or introducing potential partners. '결혼시키다' is a broader term for parents or guardians causing their child to marry, which may or may not involve active matchmaking by them.
친구가 결혼을 중매해주었다. (My friend acted as a matchmaker for the marriage.) vs. 부모님은 아들을 좋은 집안에 결혼시키셨다. (My parents married off their son into a good family.)
Both are causative verbs related to marriage.
'혼인시키다' is a more formal and often archaic term, using the formal noun '혼인' for marriage. '결혼시키다' is more common in everyday language and general contexts. While synonyms, '결혼시키다' is generally preferred in modern usage.
옛날에는 부모가 자녀를 혼인시켰다. (In the past, parents married off their children - formal/archaic.) vs. 부모님은 아들을 결혼시키셨다. (Parents married off their son - common.)
This phrase means 'to arrange a marriage', which is very similar in meaning to '결혼시키다'.
'결혼시키다' is a single verb implying the act of causing the marriage. '결혼을 주선하다' is a verb-noun phrase that describes the process of arranging or facilitating the marriage. They are often interchangeable in contexts involving parental arrangement.
부모님은 내 결혼을 주선하셨다. (My parents arranged my marriage.) vs. 부모님은 나를 결혼시키셨다. (My parents married me off.)
Both relate to marriage.
'이혼하다' means 'to divorce', which is the opposite of getting married. '결혼시키다' is about causing a marriage to happen, while '이혼하다' is about ending one. They are antonyms in terms of the marital outcome.
그들은 결혼했다. (They got married.) vs. 그들은 이혼했다. (They got divorced.)

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
Medium. While not as common as '결혼하다', it's frequently encountered in specific contexts like historical narratives, discussions of tradition, or family anecdotes.
-
Using '결혼시키다' for oneself.
→
Using '결혼하다'.
Learners often confuse the causative verb '결혼시키다' (to cause someone to marry) with the simple verb '결혼하다' (to get married). You cannot 'marry yourself off' using this verb; you 'get married'.
-
Confusing subject and object.
→
The subject is the one causing the marriage (e.g., parents), and the object is the child being married off.
A common error is to think the child is the subject doing the marrying off. Remember, '시키다' implies someone else is causing the action. For example, '부모님이 아들을 결혼시키셨다' (Parents married off the son), not '아들이 결혼시켰다' (The son married himself off).
-
Using '결혼시키다' in modern, personal marriage contexts.
→
Using '결혼하다' or '결혼을 앞두고 있다'.
'결혼시키다' often implies arranged or parent-driven marriages. Using it for a couple who chose each other and are planning their own wedding would sound unnatural or even imply coercion. Stick to '결혼하다' for personal unions.
-
Incorrectly translating 'marry off'.
→
'To marry off' directly translates to '결혼시키다' when parents are involved.
Sometimes learners might translate 'marry off' too literally or miss the causative aspect. Understanding that 'marry off' implies a third party's action is key to choosing '결혼시키다' over '결혼하다'.
-
Overusing the formal synonym '혼인시키다'.
→
Using '결혼시키다' in most general contexts.
'혼인시키다' is more formal and often archaic. While correct, it can sound stiff or dated in everyday conversations. '결혼시키다' is the more common and versatile term for this action.
सुझाव
Causative Verb Structure
Remember that '-시키다' is a causative suffix. It means the subject is *making* or *causing* the action to happen to the object. So, the parents are the ones 'making' the marriage happen for their child.
Distinguish from '결혼하다'
The most crucial distinction for learners is between '결혼하다' (to get married - personal action) and '결혼시키다' (to cause/arrange marriage - third-party action). Always check who is performing the action.
Traditional vs. Modern
While '결혼시키다' reflects traditional practices, modern Korean society emphasizes individual choice. Use this word carefully when discussing contemporary personal marriages to avoid sounding outdated or implying coercion.
Palatalization
Pay attention to the initial 'g' sound in '결혼시키다'. It's often palatalized, sounding more like 'gyeol' rather than a hard 'g'. Practice saying it smoothly.
Visual Association
Imagine a parent holding a child's hand and leading them to a wedding altar, actively 'making' them get married. The '시키다' part strongly implies this active role of the parent.
Sentence Building
Create sentences using '결혼시키다' with different subjects (parents, grandparents) and objects (son, daughter, children). Also, try creating sentences using '결혼하다' to practice the distinction.
Agency
The core concept is about who has agency in the marriage. '결혼하다' means the individuals have agency. '결혼시키다' means parents/guardians have agency and are directing the process.
Exploring Related Terms
Look into synonyms like '혼인시키다', '결혼을 주선하다', and '중매하다' to understand the subtle differences in formality and specific actions related to arranging marriages.
Avoid Misuse
Do not use '결혼시키다' to describe your own marriage or a couple's mutual decision to marry. This is a common mistake for learners.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Imagine a parent holding a wedding ring and actively 'making' their child put it on. The '시키다' part emphasizes the parent's action of 'making' it happen. Think of '시키다' as 'to make' or 'to cause'. So, '결혼' (marriage) + '시키다' (to cause) = to cause marriage to happen for someone else.
दृश्य संबंध
Picture a parent enthusiastically pushing their child towards a wedding altar, holding up a marriage certificate and saying, 'I'm making you get married!' The parent is the active agent here.
Word Web
चैलेंज
Try to create sentences where parents are the subject and their child is the object being married off. For example, 'My parents married me off to a doctor.' Then try to create sentences where the opposite is true, where the child is getting married on their own, using '결혼하다'.
शब्द की उत्पत्ति
The word '결혼시키다' is a causative verb formed by combining the noun '결혼' (gyeolhon, meaning marriage) with the causative suffix '-시키다' (-sikida, meaning to cause or to make something happen). The noun '결혼' itself is derived from Chinese characters: 結 (gyeol, to tie, to bind) and 婚 (hon, marriage). Thus, '결혼' literally means 'to tie the knot of marriage'. The addition of '-시키다' transforms this into the action of causing someone else to 'tie the knot'.
मूल अर्थ: The core meaning is 'to cause marriage'.
Korean (Sino-Korean vocabulary)सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
The term '결혼시키다' can sometimes be sensitive as it implies a degree of parental control or arrangement that might not align with modern ideals of individual autonomy in choosing a spouse. When discussing personal situations, it's important to be mindful of the context and the feelings of the individuals involved.
In English-speaking cultures, while parents might offer advice or introduce potential partners, the direct act of 'marrying off' a child is less common and can sometimes have negative connotations of coercion. The phrase 'marry off' itself is used, but it often implies a more active and sometimes forceful arrangement by parents.
