30 सेकंड में शब्द

  • A formal word for a task or mission.
  • Commonly used in business and academic settings.
  • Often paired with '수행하다' (to perform) or '완수하다' (to complete).
  • Not suitable for casual conversation.

When you hear the word 과업 (gwa-eop), think of it as more than just a simple to-do list item. It represents a significant task or a mission that carries weight.

In a professional setting, a manager might assign you a 과업 that is central to the team's success. It implies that you are not just doing busy work, but fulfilling a necessary step toward a larger goal.

The word 과업 is a Sino-Korean word. It is composed of 과 (課), meaning 'duty' or 'lesson,' and 업 (業), meaning 'work' or 'business.'

Historically, this term was used to describe official duties assigned by the state or academic requirements for scholars. Over time, it evolved into a standard term for any structured assignment or professional responsibility in modern Korean society.

You will mostly encounter 과업 in formal, business, or academic environments. It is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation between friends.

Common collocations include 과업을 수행하다 (to carry out a task) or 과업을 완수하다 (to complete a task). Use this word when you want to sound professional and emphasize the importance of the work being done.

While 과업 itself is a formal noun, it appears in several professional expressions.

  • 과업 수행: Execution of tasks.
  • 과업 지향적: Task-oriented.
  • 과업 완수: Completion of a mission.
  • 과업 목표: Task objective.
  • 핵심 과업: Core task or primary responsibility.

과업 is a noun and does not have plural forms in Korean. It is often paired with verbs like 하다 (to do) or 수행하다 (to perform).

Pronunciation tip: The 'gwa' is pronounced like 'gwah' and 'eop' sounds like 'up' with a soft 'p' ending. It is a standard noun used without specific articles.

Fun Fact

It was historically used to describe the curriculum of scholars.
