붙다
The Korean verb 붙다 (butda) has a couple of useful meanings for learners at the A1 level.
First, it means "to stick to" or "to be attached." You can use it when one thing is physically joined to another.
For example, if a stamp is on an envelope, you could say it "sticks to" the envelope.
Another common meaning is "to pass" an exam or test. So if you hear someone say they passed their test, they might use 붙다.
When you're learning Korean at an A2 level, you'll encounter verbs with multiple meanings, and 붙다 (butda) is a great example. One common use is to describe something that sticks or adheres to another surface, like a sticker on a book or glue on paper.
Another important meaning, especially for students, is to pass an exam or test. So, if you hear someone say 그 시험에 붙었어요 (geu siheome buteosseoyo), it means they passed that exam. Understanding these different contexts will really help you sound more natural in Korean!
When 붙다 (butda) is used in the context of things physically attaching, it means 'to stick to' or 'to adhere'. Imagine a sticker on a notebook – it 붙다s to the page. You can use it for things like dust sticking to a surface or even people sticking close together.
Beyond the literal meaning, 붙다 also means 'to pass' an exam or a test. If you've studied hard and done well on your exams, you might say you '붙었어' (passed). This meaning is quite common, so it's good to remember both uses.
When 붙다 means 'to stick to', think of things adhering to a surface. For instance, a stamp 붙다s to an envelope. You can also use it for more abstract ideas, like someone being 붙다 to another person because they admire them. But 붙다 can also mean 'to pass an exam', which is often used with tests or applications. So you can say someone 붙다 to an exam. This is very important for students to know.
The verb 붙다 (but-da) is incredibly versatile in Korean, making it a valuable word to master beyond its basic A2 meaning. While it certainly means 'to stick to' or 'to pass (an exam)', its nuances extend much further.
For instance, it can describe things literally adhering, like a stamp to an envelope, but also figuratively, such as a habit sticking with someone. When used in the context of competitions or exams, '붙다' signifies success, meaning to get accepted or pass. Consider also its use when referring to a fire 'catching' or 'igniting', indicating something beginning to burn. Furthermore, it can imply two things coming into close proximity or even engaging in a fight, highlighting its dynamic range.

§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The Korean verb "붙다" (pronounced 'boot-da') is a versatile word that you'll encounter frequently. At its core, it means 'to stick to' or 'to be attached'. Think of something physically sticking to another object. However, like many Korean verbs, it has several extended meanings that are important to learn for natural conversation.
- DEFINITION
- To stick to; to pass (an exam)
Let's break down its common uses. The most literal meaning is about physical adhesion. Imagine a sticker on a wall, glue bonding two pieces of paper, or even dust clinging to a surface. In all these cases, "붙다" is the verb you'd use.
벽에 그림이 붙어 있어요. (A picture is sticking to the wall.)
이 풀은 잘 붙지 않아요. (This glue doesn't stick well.)
Beyond physical sticking, "붙다" is very commonly used to mean 'to pass' an exam or test. This might seem like a jump in meaning, but think of it as successfully 'attaching' yourself to the desired outcome – passing. It's an idiomatic usage you absolutely need to know.
시험에 붙었어요! (I passed the exam!)
대학에 붙고 싶어요. (I want to get into university / pass the university entrance exam.)
"붙다" can also describe things being physically close or adjacent to each other. For example, two buildings that are right next to each other, or someone standing very close to another person. It implies a lack of space between them.
두 건물이 서로 붙어 있어요. (The two buildings are attached to each other / right next to each other.)
Another use is in the context of a fight or competition, meaning 'to engage in' or 'to get into' a fight/match. It indicates that two parties are clashing or competing directly.
싸움이 붙었어요. (A fight broke out / started.)
내일 시합에 붙어요. (We're competing in the match tomorrow.)
Understanding these various contexts will help you use "붙다" naturally. Pay attention to the particles used with it, as they often give clues to the specific meaning. For instance, ~에 붙다 (e butda) is common for 'sticking to something' or 'passing an exam'.
- Physical adhesion: Use for stickers, glue, dust, etc.
- Passing an exam/test: A very common idiomatic use.
- Being close/adjacent: Describes physical proximity.
- Engaging in a fight/competition: Implies direct confrontation.
§ Understanding Basic Meanings of 붙다
The Korean verb '붙다' (pronounced 'boot-da') has a couple of core meanings that are really useful to know. At its most basic, it means 'to stick to' or 'to be attached to'. But it also commonly means 'to pass (an exam or test)'. We'll look at both, starting with 'to stick'.
§ 붙다: To Stick To / To Be Attached
When '붙다' means 'to stick to', it describes something being physically attached to another object. Think of a sticker on a wall or a magnet on a fridge.
- Grammar Note
- When using '붙다' in this sense, you'll often see the particle 에 (e) or 에다가 (edaga) attached to the noun that something is sticking to. 에 is more common and means 'to' or 'on'. 에다가 adds a nuance of 'in addition to' or 'on top of', but in practice, you can often use 에.
벽에 그림이 붙어 있어요. (The picture is stuck on the wall.)
테이프가 책상에 붙었어요. (The tape stuck to the desk.)
You can also use '붙다' to describe things like people sticking close together or even for things that adhere naturally, like glue.
아이들이 엄마 옆에 붙어 다녀요. (The children stick close to their mom.)
§ 붙다: To Pass (an Exam)
This is another very common and useful meaning. When you '붙다' an exam or test, it means you successfully passed it.
- Grammar Note
- When '붙다' means 'to pass', the exam or test usually takes the object marker 에 (e) or 에 합격하다 (e hapgyeokhada) meaning to be accepted into or pass an exam for something. For '붙다', you just need 에.
시험에 붙었어요! (I passed the exam!)
대학교에 붙고 싶어요. (I want to get into university. / I want to pass the university entrance exam.)
§ Common Phrases with 붙다
Here are a few more common ways you might encounter '붙다' in everyday Korean.
- 눈을 붙이다 (nun-eul bu-chi-da)
- Literally 'to stick eyes', this idiom means 'to catch some sleep' or 'to nap'. It uses a related verb, 붙이다, which means 'to attach' or 'to make something stick'.
점심시간에 잠깐 눈을 붙였어요. (I caught a short nap during lunch break.)
- 불이 붙다 (bul-i but-da)
- Literally 'fire sticks', this means 'to catch fire' or 'to ignite'.
나무에 불이 붙었어요. (The wood caught fire.)
As you can see, '붙다' is a versatile verb with practical uses in both literal and figurative senses. Keep practicing with these examples, and you'll get the hang of it!

§ Understanding '붙다'
Hello learners! Today we're diving into some common traps English speakers fall into when using the Korean verb '붙다' (to stick to; to pass an exam). While it seems simple, its various meanings can sometimes cause confusion. Let's clear those up!
§ Mistake 1: Not knowing when to use '붙다' for 'to pass'
Many learners know '붙다' means 'to stick,' but forget its important meaning of 'to pass' an exam or test. This is a very common usage in Korean, so it's crucial to remember it.
- Correct Usage
- When talking about passing an exam, '붙다' is the go-to verb. You attach '에' (to/at) to the exam name.
시험에 붙었어요. (I passed the exam.)
면접에 붙고 싶어요. (I want to pass the interview.)
§ Mistake 2: Confusing '붙다' with other verbs for 'sticking'
While '붙다' means 'to stick to,' it's not always interchangeable with other verbs like '붙이다' (to attach/stick something). The key difference is agency.
- '붙다' is typically intransitive, meaning something sticks by itself or without direct action from the subject (e.g., a sticker sticking to a wall).
- '붙이다' is transitive, meaning someone or something actively sticks something else (e.g., I stick a sticker on the wall).
- '붙다' (Intransitive)
- The subject is sticking or adhering. The action happens to the subject.
벽에 포스터가 붙어 있어요. (A poster is stuck on the wall.)
- '붙이다' (Transitive)
- The subject sticks something else. The subject performs the action on an object.
제가 벽에 포스터를 붙였어요. (I stuck a poster on the wall.)
§ Mistake 3: Overlooking idiomatic expressions
Like many verbs, '붙다' appears in various idiomatic expressions that don't always translate directly. Not knowing these can lead to misunderstandings.
- 불이 붙다 (to catch fire): Here, '불' (fire) '붙다' (sticks/catches).
- 싸움이 붙다 (a fight breaks out): '싸움' (fight) '붙다' (sticks/starts).
- 맛이 붙다 (to get into the taste of something, to develop a taste for something): '맛' (taste) '붙다' (sticks/develops).
나무에 불이 붙었어요. (The tree caught fire.)
갑자기 싸움이 붙었다. (A fight suddenly broke out.)
By keeping these points in mind, you'll use '붙다' more accurately and naturally. Practice these different usages, and you'll master it in no time!
§ What does 붙다 mean?
The Korean verb 붙다 (pronounced 'boot-da') is a versatile word with a couple of key meanings you'll encounter frequently. At its core, it means 'to stick to' or 'to be attached'. Think of something physically adhering to another object. However, it also commonly means 'to pass (an exam)' or 'to succeed' in a competitive situation. The specific meaning depends on the context, which we'll explore with examples.
§ Meanings of 붙다
- Meaning 1
- To stick to; to adhere; to be attached to.
This is the most literal meaning of 붙다. You can use it for things like a stamp sticking to an envelope, a label on a bottle, or even dust sticking to a surface.
우표가 편지에 잘 붙었어요.
Hint: The stamp stuck well to the letter.
벽에 포스터를 붙였어요.
Hint: I stuck the poster to the wall. (Note: The causative form 붙이다 is used when *you* make something stick.)
- Meaning 2
- To pass (an exam); to succeed (in a competition/application).
This meaning is also very common. When you talk about passing a test, getting accepted into a school, or winning a competition, 붙다 is the word to use.
시험에 붙었어요!
Hint: I passed the exam!
그는 대학교에 붙었습니다.
Hint: He got into university.
§ Similar words and when to use 붙다 vs alternatives
While 붙다 is quite versatile, there are other words that can sometimes be used in similar contexts, but with subtle differences. Understanding these nuances will help you sound more natural.
- For 'to stick/adhere':
Sometimes, you might see 달라붙다 (dal-la-boot-da). This word emphasizes a stronger, more persistent sticking. Imagine something being glued on tightly, or a child clinging to their parent. 붙다 is more general and can simply mean 'to be attached'.
풀로 종이를 붙였다.
Hint: I stuck the paper with glue (general sticking).
아이들이 엄마에게 달라붙었다.
Hint: The children clung to their mom (stronger attachment).
- For 'to pass an exam':
While 붙다 is perfect for 'passing' an exam or application, you might also hear 합격하다 (hap-gyeok-ha-da). 합격하다 specifically means 'to pass (an examination/screening)' and is often used in more formal contexts or when results are officially announced. 붙다 is more colloquial and personal.
저는 토픽 시험에 붙고 싶어요.
Hint: I want to pass the TOPIK exam (colloquial, common usage).
그는 최종 면접에 합격했습니다.
Hint: He passed the final interview (formal, official result).
In summary, 붙다 is a foundational verb with two main meanings: physical attachment and success in a competitive context. Pay attention to the surrounding words and the overall situation to correctly interpret which meaning is being used. Consistent exposure and practice with examples will solidify your understanding!

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
When 붙다 means 'to stick to', it's often used with objects that physically adhere to something else. For example, a stamp sticking to an envelope. When it means 'to pass an exam', it implies successfully adhering to the requirements of the test. It's an intransitive verb, meaning it doesn't take a direct object.
A common mistake is confusing 붙다 with '붙이다' (to attach/make something stick). 붙다 is something sticking by itself, while '붙이다' is actively making something stick. Another mistake is using it for general success in other areas; it's quite specific to exams or competitions. For example, you wouldn't say '나는 프로젝트에 붙었다' (I passed the project) but rather '나는 프로젝트에 성공했다' (I succeeded in the project).
सुझाव
Basic Meaning
The most common meaning of 붙다 is 'to stick to' or 'to be attached to'. Think of glue sticking things together.
Physical Attachment Examples
You can use 붙다 for things like '포스터가 벽에 붙어 있어요' (The poster is stuck to the wall) or '테이프가 손에 붙었어요' (The tape stuck to my hand).
Figurative Attachment
It can also mean to stick close to someone or something, like '아이가 엄마한테 붙어 있어요' (The child is sticking to their mom).
Passing an Exam
A very important, but less literal meaning is 'to pass an exam or test'. This is common in academic contexts.
Exam Example
When you hear '시험에 붙었어요!', it means 'I passed the exam!'. This is a common phrase to celebrate success.
Don't Confuse
Don't confuse 붙다 with 붙이다. 붙다 means 'to stick' (intransitive), while 붙이다 means 'to make something stick' or 'to attach something' (transitive).
Winning a Fight/Game
Another less common but useful meaning is 'to win' in a fight or competition, implying you 'stuck it to' your opponent.
Winning Example
In a sports context, '우리 팀이 이겨서 붙었어요' could mean 'Our team won (stuck it to them) and won'.
Practice Phrases
Try making your own sentences using both meanings: '스티커가 책상에 붙었어요' (The sticker stuck to the desk) and '운전면허 시험에 붙고 싶어요' (I want to pass the driver's license test).
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Think of 'BOOT' - if you kick a 'boot' at something, it might 'stick' to it. Or, if you're trying to 'pass' a difficult course, you might 'stick' with your studies like glue.
दृश्य संबंध
Picture a sticky boot, perhaps a muddy one, that's literally 'stuck' to the ground or a wall. For the 'pass' meaning, imagine a student joyfully leaping over a giant '붙다' sign at a graduation ceremony.
Word Web
चैलेंज
Try to describe five things around you that are 'stuck' or 'attached' using '붙다'. For example, '내 가방에 스티커가 붙어 있어요.' (A sticker is stuck on my bag.) Then, imagine you just passed a big exam and exclaim, '저 시험에 붙었어요!'

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe two main meanings of 붙다 are 'to stick to' and 'to pass (an exam).' It's important to understand both because they are used in very different contexts.
When something 'sticks,' you often use it with a noun and the particle 에 or 에다가. For example, '벽에 붙다' means 'to stick to the wall.'
Examples:
종이가 벽에 붙어 있어요. (The paper is stuck on the wall.)
우표를 편지에 붙여 주세요. (Please stick the stamp on the letter.)
Yes, it can! You can use 붙다 to describe people being very close together, like in a crowded place. For example, '사람들이 서로에게 붙어 있었다' means 'people were sticking to each other.'
When you use 붙다 for 'to pass an exam,' it's usually with the name of the exam. For example, '시험에 붙다' means 'to pass the exam.'
Examples:
그는 운전면허 시험에 붙었어요. (He passed the driver's license exam.)
대학교에 붙고 싶어요. (I want to get into / pass the university entrance exam.)
Yes, when talking about passing an exam or getting into a school, you almost always use the particle 에 with 붙다. For instance, '시험에 붙다' or '학교에 붙다'.
Yes, there are a few! For example, '불이 붙다' means 'for a fire to start' or 'to catch fire.' Also, '말다툼이 붙다' means 'to start an argument.' These are more idiomatic uses.
This is a great question! 붙다 is an intransitive verb, meaning something sticks by itself or gets stuck (e.g., '종이가 벽에 붙다' - the paper sticks to the wall). 붙이다 is a transitive verb, meaning someone sticks something (e.g., '제가 종이를 벽에 붙이다' - I stick the paper to the wall). So, 붙이다 is the causative form of 붙다.
Yes, it can. While '말다툼이 붙다' means 'to start an argument,' you can also use '싸움이 붙다' to mean 'a fight breaks out' or 'a quarrel starts.' It implies that a conflict has begun.
The past tense of 붙다 is 붙었다. For example, '종이가 벽에 붙었어요' (The paper stuck to the wall) or '그는 시험에 붙었어요' (He passed the exam).
Generally, 붙다 itself doesn't have strong negative connotations. Its meaning depends entirely on the context. 'Sticking to' can be neutral or positive (like a sticker on a letter), and 'passing an exam' is definitely positive. However, if used with words like '빚' (debt), as in '빚이 붙다' (debt accumulates), then the context makes it negative.

'붙다'는 시험에 합격하거나, 사물끼리 달라붙거나, 논쟁에서 이기는 등의 의미로 사용됩니다. '나란히 서다'는 '줄 서다'나 '나란하다'와 같은 표현이 더 적절합니다.

화자가 '밤늦게까지 책에 붙어 있었다'는 것은 어떤 의미로 해석할 수 있습니까?
문맥상 '밤늦게까지 책에 붙어 있었다'는 것은 책을 매우 집중해서 오랫동안 읽었다는 의미로 해석됩니다. 이 습관이 좋은 성적으로 이어졌다고 언급됩니다.

그는 어려운 시험에도 불구하고 결국 합격증을 ___ 얻었다. (He finally obtained the certificate of passing the difficult exam.)
In this context, '붙어서' (meaning 'having passed') is the most natural and grammatically correct form to connect the act of passing the exam with obtaining the certificate. '붙는' is a descriptive form, '붙여서' means 'having attached', and '붙는다고' means 'saying it sticks'.
오랜 시간 공들여 준비한 프로젝트가 마침내 빛을 ___ 순간이었다. (It was the moment when the long-prepared project finally saw the light.)
Here, '붙는' describes the project 'sticking' or being 'attached' to success/light, implying it came to fruition. '붙어' is a command or simple descriptive, '붙여' means 'attach it', and '붙인다' is a declarative statement. The gerund '붙는' functions as an adjective here.
소문은 걷잡을 수 없이 퍼져 나갔고, 결국 그의 명예에 큰 오점이 ___ 되었다. (The rumor spread uncontrollably, eventually becoming a great blemish on his reputation.)
'붙게 되다' means 'to come to stick' or 'to end up sticking', which perfectly conveys the idea of the blemish attaching to his reputation. '붙여' means 'attach it', '붙고' means 'and sticks', and '붙으며' means 'while sticking'.
새로운 환경에 적응하기 위해 애썼지만, 여전히 문화적 차이에 ___ 어려움을 겪고 있다. (I tried hard to adapt to the new environment, but I'm still having difficulty getting accustomed to cultural differences.)
In this context, '문화적 차이에 붙어' translates to 'sticking to cultural differences' or 'getting used to cultural differences', indicating an ongoing struggle with assimilation. '붙는데' is a general descriptive, '붙음에' is formal and less common in this context, and '붙이면서' means 'while attaching'.
그의 말은 논리적으로 타당하여 청중의 마음에 깊이 ___ 들었다. (His words were logically sound and deeply resonated with the audience.)
'마음에 붙어 들다' is a common idiom meaning 'to stick to one's heart' or 'to resonate deeply'. '붙게' means 'to come to stick', '붙이게' means 'to make stick', and '붙이는' is a descriptive form.
아무리 노력해도 이 방정식의 해답이 머릿속에 ___ 않는다고 푸념했다. (He complained that no matter how hard he tried, the answer to this equation wouldn't stick in his head.)
'붙지 않다' means 'does not stick' or 'does not adhere', which perfectly conveys the idea of not being able to grasp or remember the answer. '붙어서' means 'having stuck', '붙으며' means 'while sticking', and '붙을지' means 'whether it will stick'.
Choose the most appropriate meaning of '붙다' in the following sentence: '그의 노력 덕분에 시험에 붙을 수 있었다.'
In the context of '시험에 붙다', it means to pass an exam. The sentence translates to 'Thanks to his effort, he was able to pass the exam.'
Which of the following sentences uses '붙다' to mean 'to stick to'?
The sentence '벽에 포스터가 잘 붙어 있어요' means 'The poster is well-stuck to the wall,' directly using '붙다' in the sense of 'to stick to.'
In the phrase '서로에게 꼭 붙어 있다,' what does '붙어 있다' imply?
'서로에게 꼭 붙어 있다' translates to 'They are sticking closely to each other,' implying they are in close proximity or attached.
'그는 항상 내 옆에 붙어 다녀.' (He always follows me around.) In this sentence, '붙어 다녀' exclusively refers to physical attachment.
While '붙어 다녀' can imply physical proximity, in this context, it often suggests someone is constantly with another person, almost like 'shadowing' them, which is a more metaphorical sticking than just physical attachment.
If you say '소문에 불이 붙다,' it means 'the rumor is being extinguished.'
'소문에 불이 붙다' literally means 'fire catches to the rumor,' which idiomatically means 'the rumor spreads rapidly' or 'the rumor catches fire.' It does not mean the rumor is being extinguished.
The sentence '시험에 붙으면 좋겠다.' (I hope I pass the exam.) correctly uses '붙다' to express hope for passing an examination.
Yes, '시험에 붙다' is a common and correct expression in Korean for 'to pass an exam.'
The speaker is talking about someone passing an exam after persistent effort.
The speaker is describing a poster on a wall that has faded.
The speaker is explaining their approach to achieving goals.
