충돌하다
충돌하다 30秒で
- 충돌하다 means to physically crash or metaphorically clash.
- It is a formal Sino-Korean verb (Hanja: 衝突).
- Commonly used for traffic accidents and opinion disagreements.
- Requires particles like -와/과 for 'with' or -이/가 for subjects.
The Korean verb 충돌하다 (Chung-dol-ha-da) is a multifaceted term that bridges the gap between physical reality and abstract conceptualization. At its most basic level, it describes the physical act of two objects striking each other with force. However, as learners progress to the B2 level, they must grasp its significant usage in describing conflicts of interest, clashing opinions, and logistical overlaps. The word is composed of the Hanja characters 衝 (충 - to rush or dash) and 突 (돌 - sudden or abrupt), perfectly capturing the essence of a sudden, forceful encounter.
- Physical Collision
- This refers to accidents involving vehicles, people, or celestial bodies. For instance, when two cars hit each other at an intersection, '충돌하다' is the standard term used in news reports and police documentation.
빙판길에서 버스와 트럭이 충돌하다.
(A bus and a truck collided on the icy road.)
- Conflict of Opinions
- In professional and social settings, this verb describes the friction that occurs when two parties hold irreconcilable views. It is more formal than '싸우다' (to fight) and suggests a structural or ideological disagreement.
In a social context, you might hear this word when discussing why a project failed or why a couple broke up. It implies that the underlying principles or goals were moving in opposite directions, leading to an inevitable 'crash'. For example, '가치관의 충돌' (clash of values) is a very common phrase used to describe deep-seated differences between generations or cultures. The verb can also be applied to scheduling, where two appointments '충돌' because they are set for the same time, necessitating a change in plans.
의견이 서로 충돌하여 결론을 내지 못했다.
(Opinions clashed with each other, so we couldn't reach a conclusion.)
Grammatically, 충돌하다 acts as an intransitive verb, though it often takes a partner marked by the particles -와/과 (with) or -이/가 (subject marker) depending on the sentence structure. Understanding the nuance of these particles is key to mastering the word's application across different CEFR levels.
- Subject-Verb Construction
- When two entities are both subjects performing the action together, use 'A와 B가 충돌하다'. Example: '기차와 자동차가 충돌했다' (The train and the car collided).
두 나라의 이해관계가 충돌하고 있습니다.
(The interests of the two countries are in conflict.)
When using the word metaphorically, the 'objects' crashing are usually nouns like '의견' (opinion), '이익' (interest), '가치관' (values), or '일정' (schedule). In these cases, the verb often appears in the present progressive form '충돌하고 있다' to describe an ongoing state of tension or the past tense '충돌했다' to describe a specific event of disagreement. It is also frequently transformed into the noun form '충돌' to act as the subject or object of other verbs like '일어나다' (to occur) or '피하다' (to avoid).
개인의 자유와 공공의 이익이 충돌하는 지점입니다.
(This is the point where individual freedom and public interest clash.)
- Temporal Usage
- In the context of time, '충돌하다' is used when two events are scheduled simultaneously. '회의 시간이 수업 시간과 충돌해요' (The meeting time clashes with the class time).
You will encounter 충돌하다 in a variety of high-stakes environments. It is a staple of Korean news broadcasts, particularly in segments covering traffic accidents, international relations, or domestic political strife. Reporters use it to maintain an objective, formal tone while describing serious incidents.
시위대와 경찰이 정면으로 충돌했습니다.
(The protesters and the police clashed head-on.)
In the corporate world, managers and team leads use this word during project planning and evaluation. If two departments have different priorities, the resulting '충돌' must be resolved through negotiation. You might hear: '부서 간의 이익이 충돌하지 않도록 조정해 주세요' (Please coordinate so that the interests between departments do not conflict). It is also very common in academic discussions regarding history or sociology, where different cultures or ideologies are said to have 'collided' throughout time.
- Media & Entertainment
- In K-Dramas, especially legal or medical dramas, '충돌하다' is used to describe the tension between characters with opposing moral codes. A doctor's ethics might clash with a hospital's profit-driven policy.
신구 세대의 문화가 충돌하는 현상을 분석하다.
(Analyzing the phenomenon where the cultures of the new and old generations clash.)
One of the most frequent errors for English speakers is confusing 충돌하다 with its synonym 부딪치다. While both can mean 'to hit' or 'to bump', they are not always interchangeable. '부딪치다' is a native Korean word and is generally more informal and used for smaller, personal physical bumps. '충돌하다' is a Sino-Korean word (Hanja) and carries a heavier, more formal, and often more violent weight.
- Mistake 1: Using it for minor bumps
- If you accidentally walk into a person on the street, saying '충돌했습니다' sounds like you are reporting a major accident. Instead, use '부딪혔어요'.
길에서 사람과 부딪쳤다 (Correct) / 충돌했다 (Too formal/dramatic).
(I bumped into someone on the street.)
Another mistake involves the incorrect use of particles. Because '충돌하다' often involves two things, learners sometimes forget that it is an intransitive verb and try to use the object marker -을/를. You cannot '충돌' something; rather, you '충돌' *with* something or two things '충돌' together.
- Mistake 2: Incorrect Particles
- Incorrect: 차를 충돌했다. Correct: 차와 충돌했다 or 차가 충돌했다.
내 생각은 너와 충돌해.
(My thoughts clash with yours.)
To truly master Korean at a B2 level, you need to know when to swap 충돌하다 for a more specific synonym. Depending on whether you are talking about physics, social friction, or logical inconsistency, different words apply.
- 부딪치다 (Bu-dit-chi-da)
- The native Korean equivalent. Used for physical bumps, meeting obstacles, or facing difficulties. It is more common in daily speech than '충돌하다'.
- 마찰하다 (Ma-chal-ha-da)
- Literally 'to rub' or 'to cause friction'. Used metaphorically for social tension or 'rubbing people the wrong way'. It suggests ongoing irritation rather than a one-time crash.
- 대립하다 (Dae-rip-ha-da)
- Used when two parties are in direct opposition or a standoff. This is common in politics and debates where two sides 'stand against' each other.
- 상충하다 (Sang-chung-ha-da)
- A highly formal term used when laws, data, or theories contradict each other. It translates well to 'to be contradictory' or 'to be at odds'.
두 법안이 서로 상충하여 혼란을 빚고 있다.
(The two bills are contradictory, causing confusion.)
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The character 衝 is also used in '충동' (impulse), suggesting a sudden inner rush of emotion, similar to a physical collision.
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing '충' as 'chung' in 'hung' (should be 'choong').
- Over-aspirating the 'h' in 'hada' making it sound like 'ha-ta'.
- Confusing the 'o' in 'dol' with 'u' (making it sound like 'dul').
- Not connecting 'dol' and 'ha' smoothly (it should flow as one verb).
- Pronouncing the 'ng' as a separate 'n' and 'g' sound.
難易度
Easy to recognize in news and formal texts.
Requires correct particle usage (-와/과 vs -에).
Needs practice to use metaphorically in natural conversation.
Very distinct sound in news reports.

Summary
충돌하다 is your go-to verb for serious impacts, whether it's a car accident (교통사고) or a professional disagreement (의견 충돌). Use it to sound more formal and precise than the native '부딪치다'. Example: '두 계획이 충돌해서 하나를 취소해야 해요' (The two plans clash, so I have to cancel one).
- 충돌하다 means to physically crash or metaphorically clash.
- It is a formal Sino-Korean verb (Hanja: 衝突).
- Commonly used for traffic accidents and opinion disagreements.
- Requires particles like -와/과 for 'with' or -이/가 for subjects.
Particle Choice
Use '-와/과' when two things are both moving/acting. Use '-에' when one thing hits a stationary object.
Formal vs Informal
In news and essays, always prefer '충돌' over '부딪침' to maintain a professional tone.
Avoiding Conflict
Koreans often use '의견이 조금 달라요' (Opinions are a bit different) instead of '충돌해요' to be more polite.
Business Scheduling
If you have two meetings at once, say '회의 일정이 충돌해서 조정이 필요합니다' to your boss.
例文
두 데이터의 결과가 서로 충돌하고 있다.
