When someone is coming to a place where you are, and you go outside to meet them, you use the verb 마중나가다. It literally means 'to go out to meet.'
You can use it when you go to the airport to pick up a friend or when you go to the door to greet a guest. Think of it as actively going out to welcome someone who is arriving. It shows you are making an effort to meet them.
When someone is arriving at a place, and you go outside to meet them, you use the verb 마중나가다. This is a very common and practical verb in Korean everyday life. For example, if your friend is coming over, you might go to the door or even outside your building to welcome them. It literally means "to go out to greet/meet."
When someone is arriving at a location, and you go to that location specifically to meet them, you use the verb 마중나가다. It implies actively going out to welcome an arriving person, often used when picking someone up from an airport, train station, or even just meeting them at the entrance of a building.
For example, if your friend is coming over, you might say "친구 마중나갈게요" (I'll go out to meet my friend). It's more than just meeting; it carries the nuance of going to a specific point to receive them upon their arrival. This verb is very useful for describing the act of picking someone up or greeting them as they arrive at a destination.
When someone is arriving at a location, and you go from your current position to meet them at their point of arrival or somewhere along their way, you use the verb 마중나가다.
It specifically implies going out of your way to greet an arriving person. Think of it as 'going out to welcome' or 'going to pick someone up' in a more active sense than just 'meeting'.
For example, if your friend is arriving at the train station, you would 마중나가다 to the station to meet them. If a family member is coming home from a long trip, you might 마중나가다 to the front door or even further to greet them.
It emphasizes the act of moving towards the arriving person to show welcome and assistance, rather than simply waiting for them.
When someone is arriving at a location, and you go to that location specifically to meet them, the most appropriate verb to use is 마중나가다. This verb implies actively going out of your current location to greet the arriving person. It's commonly used when meeting someone at an airport, train station, or even just at the entrance of a building.
마중나가다 30 सेकंड में
- Use when you go to pick someone up.
- Implies an active movement to greet.
- Commonly used for airports, stations, or even outside your home.
§ What does it mean?
The Korean verb 마중나가다 (ma-jung-na-ga-da) literally means 'to go out to meet' or 'to go out to greet someone who is arriving.' It's used when you physically leave your current location to meet someone who is coming to you, whether it's at an airport, a train station, or even just at the front door of your house.
- DEFINITION
- To go out to meet/greet (someone arriving).
Think of it as actively going to a meeting point to welcome someone. It's not just about waiting for them; it's about making the effort to go to their arrival point. This could be for family, friends, or even important guests.
§ When do people use it?
Koreans use 마중나가다 in various situations where someone is arriving, and you want to show them respect, hospitality, or simply that you're excited to see them. Here are some common scenarios:
- At the airport or train station: This is probably the most common use. When a friend or family member is arriving from a trip, you'd go to the airport or station to meet them.
- When guests arrive at your home: If you're expecting guests, you might step outside your house or apartment building to greet them as they arrive.
- Meeting someone at an entrance: If you're meeting someone at a specific building, you might go to the main entrance to 마중나가다 them.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer:
제가 공항에 마중나갈게요. (I will go out to meet you at the airport.)
친구를 마중나가다가 늦었어요. (I was late because I went out to meet my friend.)
손님들을 마중나가기 위해 문 밖에 서 있었어요. (I was standing outside the door to go out and meet the guests.)
It conveys a sense of anticipation and welcoming. It's a polite and considerate gesture. You wouldn't use it if you're just meeting someone who is already at a location, like meeting a friend at a cafe where you both arrive separately. The key is that you are going to *their* arrival point.
§ Mistakes people make with this word
Many English speakers learning Korean make a few common mistakes when using 마중나가다. This is often because the concept of "going out to meet someone" is slightly different from direct translations or similar English phrases. Let's break down these errors so you can avoid them.
- Misunderstanding the "out" part
- One frequent mistake is to think that 마중나가다 simply means "to meet." While it does involve meeting, the "나가다" part is crucial. It specifically implies you are going from one location (like your home, office, or an interior space) to another external location (like an airport, train station, or outside of a building) to pick up or greet someone who is arriving. It's not just about meeting someone randomly somewhere.
For example, if you're meeting a friend for coffee at a cafe you're already at, you wouldn't use 마중나가다. You'd use a more general verb like 만나다 (to meet).
공항으로 친구를 마중나가다. (To go out to meet a friend at the airport.)
카페에서 친구를 만나다. (To meet a friend at the cafe.)
- Using it for casual encounters
- Another error is using 마중나가다 for any casual meeting or hang out. Remember, this word carries the nuance of someone *arriving* from a journey or a distant place, and you are making an effort to specifically go to where they arrive to greet them. It implies a specific purpose of greeting an arrival.
For instance, if you're just going out to hang out with friends who live nearby, you wouldn't say you're 마중나가다 for them. You'd use a phrase like 친구들과 놀러 나가다 (to go out to hang out with friends) or 그냥 나가다 (just to go out).
- Confusing it with just "going to" a place
- Some learners might use 마중나가다 when they simply mean they are going to a location. While you are indeed going to a location when you 마중나가다, the core meaning is about the *person* you are meeting, not just the destination. The purpose is to meet *someone* who is arriving.
If you're going to the station to catch a train yourself, you would say 역에 가다 (to go to the station). You wouldn't use 마중나가다 unless you were going there to pick someone up.
친구를 마중나가다. (To go out to meet a friend [who is arriving].)
집에 가다. (To go home.)
- Not using it with the right particle
- When using 마중나가다, you'll typically use the object particle 을/를 with the person you are going to meet. This clearly indicates who the action is directed towards.
Incorrect: 엄마 마중나가다 (without the particle)
Correct: 엄마를 마중나가다 (To go out to meet Mom)
By being mindful of these common pitfalls, you can use 마중나가다 more accurately and naturally in your Korean conversations. It's a specific verb for a specific kind of meeting, so keep that in mind!
§ What 마중나가다 means
The Korean verb 마중나가다 (ma-jung-na-ga-da) literally translates to "to go out to meet" or "to go out to greet" someone who is arriving. It's used when you physically leave your current location to meet someone who is coming to you, often to welcome them or help them with their arrival.
- Definition
- To go out to meet/greet (someone arriving).
공항에 마중나가다 = To go out to meet someone at the airport.
친구가 오면 마중나가다 = To go out to meet a friend when they arrive.
§ Similar words and when to use them
While 마중나가다 is quite specific, there are other Korean verbs that involve meeting people. It's important to understand the nuances to use them correctly.
- 마중하다 (ma-jung-ha-da): This is a related term. While 마중나가다 emphasizes the act of *going out* to meet, 마중하다 simply means "to meet someone who is arriving" or "to greet someone upon their arrival." It doesn't necessarily imply leaving your current location. You could 마중하다 someone at your doorstep if they're arriving there.
손님을 마중하다 = To greet a guest upon arrival.
- 만나다 (man-na-da): This is the general verb for "to meet." It's very broad and can be used for any kind of meeting, whether planned or unplanned, formal or informal, and doesn't carry the specific nuance of welcoming an arriving person. You can 만나다 a friend for coffee, 만나다 a new colleague, or 만나다 someone by chance.
친구를 만나다 = To meet a friend.
회의에서 만나다 = To meet at a meeting.
- 영접하다 (yeong-jeop-ha-da): This verb means "to welcome" or "to receive" a guest, often with a sense of formality or importance. It's more about the act of hosting or receiving someone rather than actively going out to meet them. You might 영접하다 important delegates or guests at a formal event.
귀비를 영접하다 = To welcome a distinguished guest.
§ Key takeaway
When you are physically moving from your current location to a different spot to greet someone who is arriving, 마중나가다 is the most appropriate verb. It emphasizes the journey and the purpose of going to meet someone specifically at their point of arrival. For general meetings, use 만나다. For simply greeting someone who has arrived, 마중하다 is a good choice. For formal welcoming, consider 영접하다.

Common Situations
You use 마중나가다 when someone is arriving at an airport, train station, bus terminal, or even just coming to your house from outside.
Who is Being Met?

Future Tense Usage
If you plan to go meet someone, use the future tense: 마중나갈 거예요 (I will go out to meet them).
No Direct English Equivalent
While 'to go out to meet' is a good translation, keep in mind that English often uses simpler phrases like 'pick up' or 'meet' when someone is arriving. 마중나가다 specifically emphasizes the act of going to them.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवाल마중나가다 specifically means going out to meet someone who is arriving, like at an airport, bus stop, or train station. If you're just meeting a friend at a cafe, you wouldn't use this word. It implies a sense of welcoming and anticipation for someone who has traveled to see you.
Yes, absolutely! If you are driving to an airport or station to pick up a friend or family member, you are definitely 마중나가다. The act of going to greet them upon their arrival is the key here, regardless of how you get there or how they are traveling.
마중나가다 is typically used for people. You wouldn't use it to go pick up a package or a delivery. It carries a nuance of welcoming a person.
A very common situation is when a family member or friend is coming home from a trip. For example, '저는 엄마를 공항에 마중나가다.' (I went to the airport to meet my mom.)
Like other verbs, you conjugate 마중나가다 based on the tense and formality.
- Present polite: 마중나가요 (ma-jung-na-ga-yo)
- Past polite: 마중나갔어요 (ma-jung-na-gat-sseo-yo)
- Future polite: 마중나갈 거예요 (ma-jung-na-gal geo-ye-yo)
While there isn't a perfect one-to-one synonym that captures the 'going out to meet someone arriving' meaning exactly, you might use more general verbs like '만나다' (to meet) if the context makes it clear. However, 마중나가다 is much more specific and conveys the intention of welcoming someone upon their arrival.
If someone is coming to your house and you go to the door or even just outside your house to greet them as they arrive, you could use 마중나가다. It emphasizes the act of going out to greet them at the point of their arrival at your location.
마중나가다 itself is a neutral verb. Its formality depends on how you conjugate it. As shown above, '마중나가요' is polite, while '마중나간다' (present informal) would be less formal.
You'll typically use the object particle ~을/를 with the person you are going to meet.
- Example: '친구를 마중나갔어요.' (I went out to meet my friend.)
While '마중갔어요' (I went to meet) might be understood, '마중나갔어요' (I went out to meet) is more natural and complete. The '나가다' part emphasizes the action of going out to do the greeting, which is central to the meaning of the word.

The sentence structure in Korean typically follows Subject-Object-Verb, and the destination comes before the verb. '나는' (I - subject), '부모님을' (parents - object), '기차역으로' (to the train station - destination), '마중나가다' (to go out to meet - verb).
This sentence requires understanding the order of adverbial phrases (내일 - tomorrow), object (거래처 손님을 - client guest), destination (공항으로 - to the airport), and the conjugated verb '마중나가야 해요' (must go out to meet).
The order should be Subject (어머니께서), Object (친구를), Destination (역까지), Adverb (직접 - directly), and Verb (마중나가셨다 - went out to meet).
