승인받다 30秒で

  • To get official permission or authorization.
  • The process of receiving formal acceptance for a request or plan.
  • Means an action or proposal has been deemed acceptable by an authority.
  • Essential for moving forward in many formal and official situations.

The Korean verb '승인받다' (seung-in-bat-da) is a crucial term for understanding how decisions and permissions are granted in various contexts. It literally translates to 'to receive approval' or 'to get authorization.' This means that an action, request, or plan has been formally accepted and is now permitted to proceed. It's a passive construction, emphasizing that the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the approval, rather than the one granting it.

Usage Contexts
You'll frequently encounter '승인받다' in formal settings such as business, government, and academic institutions. For example, a project proposal needs to be 승인받다 by management before it can begin. A student's thesis topic must be 승인받다 by their advisor. A traveler needs to 승인받다 for a visa to enter a country. It signifies that a necessary step has been completed, allowing for further progress.

Beyond these official capacities, '승인받다' can also be used in slightly less formal, but still serious, situations. For instance, a parent might need to 승인받다 from their child before making a significant decision that affects the child. In a group project, a team member might need to 승인받다 from the rest of the group before implementing a specific idea. It highlights the importance of consensus or formal agreement.

Nuance
The act of receiving approval implies that there was a request or submission made. It's not just a spontaneous granting of permission. There's an inherent process involved: a proposal, an application, a request, and then the decision to approve or deny. '승인받다' focuses on the successful outcome of this process – the positive reception of the submitted item. It's distinct from simply being allowed to do something; it implies a more official or thorough review and agreement.

회사의 새로운 마케팅 전략은 이사회로부터 승인받다.

The company's new marketing strategy received approval from the board of directors.

그는 휴가를 가기 위해 상사에게 승인받다.

He got approval from his boss to go on vacation.

정부 정책 변경은 대중에게 승인받다.

The government policy change was approved by the public.

Using '승인받다' correctly involves understanding its grammatical structure and the typical subjects and objects it interacts with. As a verb, it typically follows the subject it refers to. The subject is usually the entity seeking or receiving the approval. The source of approval, if mentioned, often appears before the verb, sometimes marked with particles like '에게' (ege - to/from someone) or '으로부터' (eurobuteo - from).

Subject-Verb Agreement
The subject of '승인받다' is the one who needs or gets the approval. This could be a person, a group, a project, or a plan. For example, '나는' (I) or '그 프로젝트는' (that project) can be the subject. The verb itself conjugates based on tense and speech level, but the core meaning remains 'to receive approval'.

학생들은 졸업 논문으로 승인받다.

The students received approval for their graduation thesis.
Object of Approval
What is being approved? This is often implied or can be stated. It could be a proposal, a request, a plan, a design, or an application. The context usually makes it clear. For instance, '그 계획은' (that plan) or '이 제안서는' (this proposal) might be the thing that needs approval.

우리의 제안서는 마침내 고객에게 승인받다.

Our proposal was finally approved by the client.
Source of Approval
Who is granting the approval? This is often a superior, an authority, or a decision-making body. Particles like '에게' (to/from) or '으로부터' (from) are commonly used to indicate the source. For example, '부장님께' (to the department head) or '위원회로부터' (from the committee).

이 프로젝트는 정부로부터 승인받다.

This project received approval from the government.

그녀는 승진을 위해 상사에게 승인받다.

She got approval from her boss for the promotion.
Tense and Formality
Like all Korean verbs, '승인받다' can be used in different tenses (past, present, future) and speech levels (formal, informal). The past tense '승인받았다' (seung-in-bat-at-da) is very common, indicating that approval has already been given. The formal polite ending '-습니다/ㅂ니다' (-seumnida/bnida) is used in official reports or formal speeches, while the informal polite ending '-아요/어요' (-ayo/eoyo) is used in everyday conversations.

그들은 새로운 사업 계획에 대해 승인받아야 합니다.

They must receive approval for the new business plan.

You'll encounter '승인받다' most frequently in environments where formal processes and official permissions are paramount. These are the places where decisions are made, and actions are contingent upon prior agreement.

Business and Corporate Settings
In the corporate world, '승인받다' is a daily occurrence. Think about budget proposals, project initiation requests, new hires, marketing campaigns, or even expense reports. All of these typically require approval from a manager, a department head, or a committee. You'll hear this in meetings, emails, and official documents. For instance, a team leader might say, "이 새로운 프로젝트는 다음 주까지 승인받아야 합니다." (This new project must be approved by next week.) or an employee might report, "제 휴가 신청이 승인받았습니다." (My vacation request has been approved.)

그녀는 새로운 소프트웨어 도입에 대해 IT 부서로부터 승인받았다.

She received approval from the IT department for the new software implementation.
Government and Public Administration
Government agencies are rife with processes requiring approval. Building permits, business licenses, visa applications, and policy changes all need to be formally approved. Official announcements, news reports about government proceedings, and public service announcements will often use '승인받다'. A news anchor might report, "새로운 도로 건설 계획이 시의회로부터 승인받았습니다." (The new road construction plan has been approved by the city council.)

외국인이 한국에서 사업을 하려면 정부의 허가를 승인받아야 합니다.

Foreigners must receive government permission to do business in Korea.
Academic and Research Institutions
In universities and research centers, students and researchers constantly need approvals. This includes thesis proposals, research project plans, funding applications, and even ethical review board submissions. Discussions between students and professors, or between researchers and their supervisors, will often involve this term. A professor might advise a student, "당신의 연구 주제는 반드시 지도 교수님께 승인받아야 합니다." (Your research topic must be approved by your advisor.)

그녀는 박사 학위 논문 초안에 대해 위원회로부터 승인받았다.

She received approval from the committee for her doctoral dissertation draft.
Legal and Contractual Situations
Legal documents and contracts often stipulate conditions that require approval. A contract might state that certain actions can only be taken after written approval is received. Legal professionals discussing case strategies or contract negotiations might use this term. For example, "이 계약 조항은 법무팀의 승인받다.

This contract clause requires approval from the legal team.

Learners of Korean might occasionally misuse '승인받다' or confuse it with similar-sounding or conceptually related words. Understanding these common pitfalls can significantly improve accuracy.

Confusing with '승인하다' (to approve)
The most frequent mistake is confusing the passive '승인받다' (to receive approval) with the active '승인하다' (to approve). '승인하다' is used by the person or entity granting the approval, while '승인받다' is used by the person or entity receiving it.

Incorrect: 나는 그 제안을 승인하다.

(Incorrect: I approve the proposal.) - This implies 'I' am the one granting approval.

Correct: 나는 그 제안을 승인받았다.

Correct: I received approval for the proposal. (Assuming 'I' am the one who submitted it and got it approved.)

Correct: 부장님께서 그 제안을 승인하셨다.

Correct: The department head approved the proposal.
Incorrect Subject-Object Assignment
Sometimes learners might incorrectly assign the subject or object. Remember, the subject is the one *receiving* the approval, and the source of approval is often introduced with particles like '에게' or '으로부터'.

Incorrect: 그 계획은 승인하다.

Incorrect: The plan approves. (Grammatically nonsensical in this context.)

Correct: 그 계획은 승인받아야 한다.

Correct: The plan needs to be approved.
Overuse in Informal Settings
While '승인받다' is a standard verb, it carries a formal tone. In very casual conversations among close friends, you might use simpler expressions like '괜찮다고 했어' (they said it's okay) or '허락받았어' (I got permission), though '승인받다' is still understood. Using it excessively in extremely informal contexts might sound a bit stiff.
Misplacing Particles
Ensuring the correct particles are used when indicating the source of approval is important. For example, using '을/를' (eul/reul) instead of '에게' or '으로부터' when referring to the approver can lead to confusion.

Incorrect: 나는 상사 승인받았다.

Incorrect: I boss received approval. (Missing particle)

Correct: 나는 상사에게 승인받았다.

Correct: I received approval from the boss.

While '승인받다' is the primary term for receiving formal approval, several other words and phrases can convey similar meanings, each with its own nuance and level of formality. Understanding these alternatives helps in choosing the most appropriate expression for a given situation.

허락받다 (heorak-bat-da) - To receive permission
Meaning: To receive permission or consent.
Comparison: '허락받다' is generally less formal than '승인받다'. It often implies permission for a personal action or a less official request. '승인받다' suggests a more structured, often bureaucratic or corporate, process.
Example:

아이들이 밤늦게까지 놀아도 되는지 부모님께 허락받았다.

The children received permission from their parents to play until late at night.

이 프로젝트는 이미 승인받았다.

This project has already received approval.
인정받다 (in-jeong-bat-da) - To be recognized; to be acknowledged
Meaning: To be recognized for one's efforts, skills, or achievements.
Comparison: '인정받다' is about receiving validation and acknowledgment of worth or competence, rather than formal authorization for an action. You can '승인받다' to start a project, and then later '인정받다' for your successful completion of it.
Example:

그녀는 뛰어난 성과로 동료들에게 인정받았다.

She was recognized by her colleagues for her outstanding performance.
동의받다 (dong-ui-bat-da) - To receive agreement
Meaning: To receive agreement or consent from others.
Comparison: '동의받다' focuses on obtaining consensus or shared agreement, often from a group. While approval ('승인') is a decision made by an authority, agreement ('동의') implies a more collective acceptance.
Example:

새로운 규칙은 모든 회원들의 동의를 받았다.

The new rule received agreement from all members.
인가받다 (in-ga-bat-da) - To receive official approval/license
Meaning: To receive official recognition or a license from a government or authorized body.
Comparison: '인가받다' is very similar to '승인받다' but often implies a more official, governmental, or legal license or certification. For example, a new school or a medical facility needs to '인가받다'.
Example:

그 회사는 새로운 백신에 대한 정부의 인가를 받았다.

That company received government approval/license for the new vaccine.

The company received a license to operate. (그 회사는 사업 운영 인가를 받았습니다.) This is a specific type of approval, more formal than just any '승인'.

승인받다 vs 재가하다 / 재가받다

Both are formal terms for approval, often used in official contexts.

'재가하다' (to sanction/approve) and '재가받다' (to receive sanction/approval) are very high-level, formal terms, often used for approvals from supreme authorities like presidents, kings, or high-ranking officials. They are less common in everyday business than '승인받다'.

The president gave his final approval. (대통령이 최종 재가를 했다.) This is a much higher level of approval than a typical business '승인'.

よくある間違い
  • Using '승인하다' when '승인받다' is needed. Subject + (Source) + Object + 을/를 + 승인받다.

    Learners often confuse the active and passive forms. If the subject is the one *receiving* approval, '승인받다' must be used. For example, 'My application was approved' is '제 신청이 승인받았습니다,' not '제 신청이 승인했습니다.'

  • Omitting particles like '에게' or '으로부터'. Subject + Source + 에게/으로부터 + 승인받다.

    When mentioning who granted the approval, the correct particle is essential. Omitting it can make the sentence grammatically incorrect or unclear. For instance, '나는 상사 승인받았다' is wrong; it should be '나는 상사에게 승인받았다.'

  • Using '승인받다' in very informal contexts. Use more casual expressions like '허락받다' or '해도 돼?' in informal settings.

    '승인받다' carries a formal tone. Using it with close friends for casual requests can sound stiff or overly bureaucratic. For example, asking a friend '내 아이디어 승인받을 수 있을까?' sounds unnatural; '내 아이디어 괜찮을까?' or '내 아이디어에 동의해줘?' would be better.

  • Confusing '승인받다' with '인정받다'. '승인받다' is for formal authorization; '인정받다' is for recognition of merit or achievement.

    While both involve receiving something positive, they are different. You '승인받다' to start a project, but you '인정받다' for completing it successfully. They are not interchangeable.

  • Incorrectly translating 'approval' as '승인받다'. 'Approval' as a noun is '승인'. '승인받다' is the verb 'to receive approval'.

    Learners might mistakenly use the verb form when they intend to use the noun. For example, saying 'The approval is important' should be '승인이 중요합니다,' not '승인받다가 중요합니다.'

ヒント

Active vs. Passive

Always remember the distinction between '승인하다' (to approve - active) and '승인받다' (to receive approval - passive). The subject of the sentence determines which verb to use. If the subject is the one granting permission, use '승인하다'. If the subject is the one getting permission, use '승인받다'.

Formal Settings

'승인받다' is most commonly used in formal or official contexts such as business, government, or academic institutions. Be mindful of the register when using this word.

Indicating the Source

When you want to specify who granted the approval, use the particles '에게' (for people) or '으로부터' (from) after the noun representing the approver. For example, '상사에게 승인받다' (receive approval from the boss).

Synonym Nuances

While '허락받다' also means to receive permission, '승인받다' implies a more formal, often bureaucratic or procedural, authorization. Choose the word that best fits the level of formality and the nature of the request.

Syllable Stress

Pay attention to the stress pattern, which typically falls on the first syllable '승' (seung). Practicing pronunciation can help you sound more natural.

Mnemonic Device

Use the mnemonic '승인' (sign) + '받다' (bat) = 'to bat the sign to receive approval' to help remember the meaning and usage.

語源

The word '승인받다' is derived from the Sino-Korean words '승인' (seungin) and the verb suffix '-받다' (-batda). '승인' itself is composed of '승' (seung), meaning 'to ascend' or 'to permit,' and '인' (in), meaning 'to make' or 'to do.' Together, '승인' means 'to permit and make,' essentially 'to approve.' The addition of '-받다' makes it a passive verb, meaning 'to receive approval.'

元の意味: '승인' originally meant 'to permit and make,' implying an action that is allowed and then carried out. The passive form '-받다' emphasizes the recipient of this permission.

文化的な背景

When discussing '승인받다,' it's important to be aware of the power dynamics involved. The person seeking approval is often in a subordinate position to the approver. Using the correct honorifics and polite speech levels is crucial in formal settings to show respect.

In English-speaking cultures, while approval is also important, there might be more emphasis on initiative and less formal channels for getting things done, especially in startup environments or less hierarchical organizations. Phrases like 'getting the green light' or 'getting the go-ahead' are common, but '승인받다' often carries a heavier, more official weight.

The rigorous approval process for government projects in South Korea. The need for parental approval for major life decisions in some traditional Korean families. The academic approval process for theses and dissertations in Korean universities.

'승인받다' is the passive form, meaning 'to receive approval.' The subject of the sentence is the one getting the approval. '승인하다' is the active form, meaning 'to approve,' used by the person or entity that grants the approval. For example, 'I received approval' is '나는 승인받았다,' while 'The boss approved it' is '상사가 승인했다.'

'승인받다' carries a formal tone because it relates to official processes and authorization. While you might hear it in slightly less formal business discussions, it's generally not used in very casual conversations among close friends. For informal permission, '허락받다' is more common.

Yes, but it's less common than for official matters. For personal requests, like asking a friend for a favor, '허락받다' (to receive permission) or simply asking '해도 돼?' (Can I do it?) is more natural. However, if a personal request involves a formal procedure or decision by an authority, '승인받다' might be used.

Many things require approval in official settings. Common examples include project proposals, budget requests, vacation applications, business plans, new product developments, research proposals, and legal documents.

The source of approval is usually indicated by particles like '에게' (to/from, for people) or '으로부터' (from). For example, '상사에게 승인받다' means 'to receive approval from the boss,' and '정부로부터 승인받다' means 'to receive approval from the government.'

If something is not approved, it is usually '거절당하다' (to be rejected) or '반려되다' (to be returned/rejected, often with a chance to resubmit). This means the request or plan cannot proceed as intended.

Yes, it can be used for abstract concepts that require formal validation. For instance, a new theory might need to '승인받다' from the scientific community, or a new policy might need to '승인받다' from the public or a legislative body.

'승인받다' is a general term for receiving approval. '인가받다' is a more specific type of approval that refers to receiving an official license or certification, usually from a government or regulatory body, granting legal permission to operate or perform a certain function.

Like other Korean verbs, you conjugate the stem '승인받-'. For example, past tense is '승인받았다' (received approval), present tense is '승인받아요' (receive approval, informal polite) or '승인받습니다' (receive approval, formal polite), and future tense can be expressed with '승인받을 거예요' (will receive approval).

Yes, that verb is '승인하다' (seung-in-ha-da), which means 'to approve.' It's the active counterpart to '승인받다.' So, the boss '승인하다' (approves), and the employee '승인받다' (receives approval).
