§ What 걷히다 Means
The Korean verb 걷히다 (geothida) is typically used when clouds, fog, mist, or smoke clear away. It describes a situation where something that was covering or obscuring the view disperses, allowing for a clearer sight. Think of it as 'clearing up' for weather phenomena.
- DEFINITION
- For clouds or fog to clear away; to clear up.
안개가 걷히고 햇살이 비쳤어요.
The fog cleared and the sunlight shone.
구름이 걷히면 별이 보일 거예요.
If the clouds clear, you'll see the stars.
§ Similar Words and When to Use 걷히다
While 걷히다 is quite specific, there are other Korean verbs that might seem similar but are used in different contexts. Understanding these distinctions will help you use 걷히다 correctly.
- 사라지다 (sarajida): To disappear
사라지다 is a more general verb for something vanishing completely. While fog might 'disappear,' 걷히다 specifically implies it clears up to reveal what was beneath or behind it.
안개가 완전히 사라졌어요.
The fog completely disappeared.
- 개다 (gaeda): To clear up (weather)
개다 is also used for weather clearing up, often referring to a rainy or cloudy day becoming sunny. While similar, 걷히다 focuses more on the *act* of the clouds/fog moving away, whereas 개다 describes the *state* of the weather becoming clear.
날씨가 갰어요.
The weather cleared up.
- 없어지다 (eopseojida): To cease to exist, to vanish
없어지다 is a very broad term for something disappearing or ceasing to exist. It can be used for physical objects, problems, or feelings. While fog can 'disappear' (없어지다), 걷히다 is much more precise for atmospheric conditions.
걱정이 없어졌어요.
My worries disappeared.
In summary, use 걷히다 specifically when talking about clouds, fog, mist, or smoke moving away and clearing the view. It's the perfect word for describing those moments when the sky becomes visible again after being hidden.
知っておくべき文法
Passive voice with '-이/히/리/기-' attached to a verb stem. This makes the verb act upon the subject rather than the subject performing the action. For '걷다' (to collect, to clear), '걷히다' is its passive form.
안개가 걷히다 (The fog clears up.)
Usage with weather phenomena like '안개' (fog), '구름' (clouds), '연기' (smoke). It describes these things disappearing or clearing away.
먹구름이 걷히고 해가 나왔어요. (The dark clouds cleared and the sun came out.)
Can be used metaphorically to describe worries or difficulties disappearing. In this context, it often implies a sense of relief.
걱정이 걷히다 (Worries clear away.)
Often paired with adverbs of time or manner to specify when or how the clearing happens. For example, '점점' (gradually) or '빨리' (quickly).
안개가 점점 걷히고 있어요. (The fog is gradually clearing up.)
When used in past tense, '걷혔다' or '걷혔어요', it indicates that the clearing has already occurred.
어제 아침에 안개가 다 걷혔어요. (Yesterday morning, all the fog cleared.)
