When talking about time in Korean, 이번 (i-beon) is often paired with words like 주 (ju) for week, 달 (dal) for month, and 년 (nyeon) for year. So, 이번 주 literally means 'this week'.
It's a very common and essential phrase for everyday conversation, especially when making plans or discussing recent events.
You'll hear it frequently in phrases like 이번 주말 (i-beon jumal) which means 'this weekend', or 이번 주에 뭐 할 거예요? (i-beon ju-e mwo hal geo-ye-yo?) meaning 'What are you going to do this week?'
Understanding 이번 (i-beon) as 'this [current]' will help you quickly grasp other time-related expressions.
When talking about time in Korean, you'll often encounter words that combine a demonstrative like '이' (this) with a unit of time. '이번주' is a perfect example of this. It literally means 'this week.' You can use it in many contexts, just like you would use 'this week' in English, to refer to the current week you are in. It's a fundamental word for scheduling and discussing current events.

Choose the most natural way to say 'This week's meeting has been postponed' in Korean.
'이번 주' is the standard and most natural way to say 'this week' in everyday Korean. While '금주 (今週)' also means 'this week,' it's slightly more formal or used in written contexts. '이 주' and '본주' are not typically used in this context.
Which of the following sentences correctly uses '이번 주' to indicate a plan for the current week?
'이번 주에 여행을 갈 거예요' clearly states a plan to travel within the current week. '다음 주' means next week, '지난 주' means last week, and '어제' means yesterday, none of which fit the context of the current week's plan.
Select the sentence that implies a recurring event happening within 'this week's' timeframe, rather than a single instance.
'이번 주 내내' (all throughout this week) suggests a continuous or recurring event. The other options describe single past events or refer to other timeframes.
You can always substitute '금주' for '이번 주' in any sentence without changing the nuance or formality.
While '금주' also means 'this week,' it carries a slightly more formal or official tone compared to '이번 주,' which is common in everyday conversation. Substituting them interchangeably might subtly alter the nuance of the sentence.
If someone says '이번 주에 만나요!', it means they want to meet sometime between Sunday and Saturday of the current week.
'이번 주에 만나요!' literally translates to 'Let's meet this week!' which refers to any day within the current calendar week (usually Sunday to Saturday, but sometimes Monday to Sunday depending on cultural context, though the general idea of 'current week' holds).
The phrase '이번 주말' specifically refers to the upcoming weekend, not any weekend within the current week.
'이번 주말' means 'this weekend,' unequivocally referring to the Saturday and Sunday immediately following the current day within the same week. It doesn't refer to a general 'weekend' within the current week if that week has already passed its weekend.
