When you want to send a letter or a postcard in Korea, you'll need a 우표 (upyo), which means "stamp." Just like in many other countries, you buy a 우표 and put it on your mail. This little sticker shows that you've paid the postage. You can find 우표 at post offices.

When talking about collecting something in Korean, you can use the verb 모으다 (mo-eu-da), which means 'to collect' or 'to gather.' So, if you want to say you collect stamps, you can say, 저는 우표를 모아요 (jeo-neun u-pyo-reul mo-a-yo), meaning 'I collect stamps.'

If you want to describe a stamp as being 'rare,' you can use the adjective 희귀하다 (hui-gwi-ha-da). For example, 이것은 희귀한 우표예요 (i-geo-seun hui-gwi-han u-pyo-ye-yo) means 'This is a rare stamp.'

When you're discussing the act of putting a stamp on an envelope, you might use the verb 붙이다 (bu-ti-da), meaning 'to stick' or 'to attach.' So, 우표를 봉투에 붙이세요 (u-pyo-reul bong-tu-e bu-ti-se-yo) would mean 'Please stick a stamp on the envelope.'

Finally, if you're asking about the cost of a stamp, you can say, 우표가 얼마예요? (u-pyo-ga eol-ma-ye-yo?), which translates to 'How much is a stamp?'

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें

우표 (upyo) is the standard word for 'stamp' in Korean, specifically referring to a postage stamp. It's a common word you'll encounter when dealing with mail.

सामान्य गलतियाँ

English speakers sometimes confuse 'stamp' (우표) with 'seal' or 'chop' (도장, dojang). Remember that 우표 is only for postage stamps. 도장 is for personal or official seals.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

10 सवाल

Think of '우' like the 'woo' in 'wood' and '표' like 'pyo' (rhymes with 'show'). You might imagine a 'woo-pyo' as something you 'woo' onto an envelope! Or, think of a 'post office' (우체국 - ucheguk) and how '우표' (upyo) shares the first sound. Repetition and association are key.

You can say:

  • 편지에 우표를 붙이다. (pyeonjie upyo-reul butida.) - To stick a stamp on a letter.
  • 이 편지에 우표가 필요해요. (i pyeonjie upyo-ga piryohaeyo.) - This letter needs a stamp.

Primarily, '우표' refers to postage stamps for mail. While the word itself specifically means 'stamp' in the context of postage, you wouldn't use it for, say, a rubber stamp or a date stamp. For those, you'd use different words like '도장' (dojang) for a seal/stamp.

우표 (upyo) is a postage stamp you put on mail. 도장 (dojang) is a personal seal or a rubber stamp often used for official documents or identification in Korea. They are completely different.

Yes, absolutely! You can say: '우표 하나 주세요.' (upyo hana juseyo.) - 'Please give me one stamp.' or '우표 두 장 주세요.' (upyo du jang juseyo.) - 'Please give me two stamps.' (장 (jang) is a counter for flat objects like stamps.)

Like in other countries, Korea has various types of postage stamps, including those for different postal rates, commemorative stamps, and definitive stamps. However, the word '우표' itself is general and just means 'stamp'.

The pronunciation is 'oo-pyo'. The '우' (oo) is like the 'oo' in 'moon'. The '표' (pyo) is a strong 'p' sound followed by a 'yo' sound. Listen to native speakers if you can!

If you forget '우표', you could try pointing and saying '이것 주세요.' (igeot juseyo.) - 'Please give me this.' or '편지에 붙이는 것.' (pyeonjie butineun geot.) - 'The thing you stick on a letter.' However, '우표' is a common and useful word to know!

Yes, '우표' is definitely an A1-level word. It's a basic vocabulary item you'll likely encounter when learning about mail, travel, or everyday errands. It's very practical.

Related words include:

  • 편지 (pyeonji) - letter
  • 우체국 (ucheguk) - post office
  • 봉투 (bongtu) - envelope
  • 보내다 (bonaeda) - to send
These all go hand-in-hand with '우표' when talking about mailing things.
