The Korean verb 떠올리다 (tteo-ol-li-da) is an essential word for expressing the idea of recalling, bringing something to mind, or remembering.

§ What 떠올리다 Means
The Korean verb 떠올리다 (tteo-ol-li-da) is super useful for talking about bringing something to mind or recalling a memory. It's an A2 level word, so it's good to get comfortable with it early on.
- Definition
- To recall, bring to mind; to remember something or think of it.
Think of it as when an idea, a memory, or a face just 'pops up' into your head. It often has a spontaneous feeling to it, like something just surfaced from your thoughts.
§ How to Use 떠올리다 in Sentences
Let's look at some examples to see how 떠올리다 is used in real Korean conversations.
어릴 적 추억이 떠올랐어요. (Eoril jeok chu-eok-i tteo-ol-lat-seo-yo.)
This means: "Childhood memories came to mind." (Literally: Childhood memories surfaced.)
그 배우의 이름이 잘 떠오르지 않아요. (Geu bae-u-ui i-reum-i jal tteo-o-reu-ji a-na-yo.)
This translates to: "That actor's name doesn't come to mind well." (Meaning: I can't quite remember that actor's name.)
아이디어가 갑자기 떠올랐어요. (A-i-di-eo-ga gap-ja-gi tteo-ol-lat-seo-yo.)
Here, it means: "An idea suddenly came to mind." (Or: An idea popped into my head.)
§ Similar Words and When to Use 떠올리다 vs. Alternatives
Korean has a few words related to remembering or recalling, but they have subtle differences. Let's break them down:
- 기억하다 (gi-eok-ha-da)
- This is the most general verb for "to remember." It can be used for remembering facts, events, or people. It's a more direct and intentional act of remembering.
그녀의 생일을 기억해요. (Geu-nyeo-ui saeng-il-eul gi-eok-hae-yo.)
Meaning: "I remember her birthday." (You actively recall it.)
- 생각나다 (saeng-gak-na-da)
- This is very similar to 떠올리다, meaning "to come to mind" or "to remember." The key difference is that 생각나다 is more about something coming to your thoughts, often spontaneously, like 떠올리다, but it can also be used when you're trying to remember something and it finally clicks. It's often used when you're reminded of something by an external trigger.
오랜만에 고향 음식이 생각났어요. (O-raen-man-e go-hyang eum-sik-i saeng-gak-nat-seo-yo.)
This means: "Homeland food came to mind after a long time." (You were reminded of it.)
So, when do you use 떠올리다 versus 생각나다?
- 떠올리다
- Often emphasizes the act of a memory or idea 'floating up' or 'surfacing' from your mind, almost like it's rising to the surface of water. It can imply a more visual or sensory recollection.
- 생각나다
- Is more general for something coming to mind, often triggered by something else, or when you finally recall something you were trying to remember. It can feel a bit more like a 'thought appearing'.
In many casual contexts, 떠올리다 and 생각나다 can be used interchangeably, especially when talking about a memory or idea spontaneously coming to mind. However, if you want to express the nuance of something 'surfacing' or 'popping up' like a visual or strong sensory recall, 떠올리다 is a great choice.
रोचक तथ्य
The word is a combination of two root verbs: '떠다니다' (tteo-da-ni-da) meaning 'to float or drift' and '올리다' (ol-li-da) meaning 'to raise or lift'. This literally paints a picture of thoughts or memories 'floating up' into one's consciousness.

When Koreans say something '떠올랐어요' (tteo-ol-la-sseo-yo), it often implies a spontaneous or unbidden thought or memory rather than a deliberate act of remembering. This nuance can be helpful in understanding the natural flow of conversations when discussing memories or ideas that suddenly come to mind.
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालBoth words mean 'to remember,' but '떠올리다' suggests a more active process of bringing something to mind, often something that wasn't immediately present. Think of it like a memory 'surfacing.' '기억하다' is a more general term for having something stored in your memory. For example, you '기억해요' (remember) your birthday, but you might '떠올려요' (recall) a specific funny moment from that day.
Yes, you can! You can '떠올리다' someone's face, their voice, or even a past interaction with them. It's often used when you suddenly think of someone. For instance, '옛 친구의 얼굴이 떠올랐어요' (My old friend's face came to mind).
Not at all. You can '떠올리다' a bad memory or a difficult situation just as easily as a good one. The word itself is neutral; the feeling associated with what you recall depends on the memory itself.
It's often used with an object, like '생각이 떠오르다' (an idea comes to mind) or '얼굴이 떠오르다' (a face comes to mind). You'll frequently see it with '-이/가' to indicate the thing being recalled. For example, '그때 일이 떠올랐어요' (That event came to mind).
Often, yes. While not exclusively, it commonly implies a memory that comes to you spontaneously or unexpectedly. It's like something 'pops into your head.' However, it can also be used when you deliberately try to recall something.
Yes, it can. If you're trying to recall a specific piece of information or a fact, you can use '떠올리다.' For example, '그 답이 떠오르지 않아요' (The answer isn't coming to mind).
One common phrase is '떠오르는 생각' (a thought that comes to mind) or '떠오르는 이미지' (an image that comes to mind). You might also hear '문득 떠오르다' (to suddenly come to mind).
It conjugates like a regular '-리다' verb. For example, present tense: '떠올려요' (polite informal), '떠올립니다' (polite formal). Past tense: '떠올랐어요' (polite informal), '떠올랐습니다' (polite formal). Future tense: '떠올릴 거예요' (polite informal), '떠올릴 것입니다' (polite formal).
'떠올리다' itself is a neutral verb and can be used in both formal and informal contexts. The formality depends on the ending you use when conjugating it, just like any other verb.
Yes, you can! If you're trying to recall or remember a dream you had, you can say '꿈이 떠오르다' (a dream comes to mind) or '꿈 내용이 떠오르지 않아요' (The content of my dream isn't coming to mind).
