승낙하다 30秒で
- 승낙하다 means to formally consent or approve a request.
- It is commonly used for marriage proposals and business deals.
- It is more formal than '허락하다' (to permit).
- The noun form '승낙' means consent or approval.
The Korean verb 승낙하다 (seung-nak-ha-da) is a formal and precise term used to describe the act of granting a request, giving consent, or approving a proposal. Rooted in Hanja—承 (seung - to receive/undertake) and 諾 (nak - to promise/agree)—the word literally implies receiving a request and responding with a promise to fulfill it. Unlike casual agreement, 승낙하다 carries a weight of responsibility and formal acknowledgment. It is most commonly used when one party asks for something—be it a hand in marriage, a business deal, or a favor—and the other party formally says 'yes'.
- Etymological Nuance
- The character 承 suggests a vertical relationship or a formal reception of a message, while 諾 focuses on the verbal commitment. Together, they form a 'formal acceptance'.
- Social Context
- In Korean society, where hierarchy and formality are paramount, using '승낙하다' instead of '좋다고 하다' (to say it's good) elevates the tone of the conversation to a professional or respectful level.
“그는 마침내 그녀의 청혼을 승낙했다.” (He finally accepted her proposal.)
To understand 승낙하다, one must differentiate it from '허락하다' (to permit). While '허락하다' often implies a superior giving permission to an inferior (like a parent to a child), 승낙하다 is more about the mutual alignment of will following a specific request. It is the 'seal of approval' on a proposed idea or action. In modern business, it is the verbal or written 'yes' that precedes a contract. It is the bridge between a request and its execution.
“제안서를 검토한 후 사장님께서 승낙하셨습니다.” (After reviewing the proposal, the CEO gave his approval.)
- Grammatical Pattern
- Usually follows the pattern [Noun] + 을/를 + 승낙하다. For example, '요청을 승낙하다' (to approve a request).
Using 승낙하다 correctly requires an understanding of the level of formality and the nature of the 'request' being accepted. It is not used for simple things like 'agreeing that the weather is nice.' Instead, it is reserved for situations where a specific petition or proposal has been made. For instance, if a friend asks to borrow your car, you might '허락' (permit) them, but if a business partner proposes a merger, you '승낙' (approve/consent) the deal.
“부모님의 승낙 없이는 여행을 갈 수 없어요.” (I cannot go on the trip without my parents' consent.)
In this context, '승낙' is the noun form. The verb 승낙하다 is often conjugated in the past tense (승낙했다) because the act of consenting is usually a completed event that allows the next action to take place. In honorific settings, you must use 승낙하시다 to show respect to the person granting the consent. For example, '선생님께서 승낙하셨습니다' (The teacher has consented).
- Common Object Pairings
- 1. 요청을 승낙하다 (Accept a request)
2. 제안을 승낙하다 (Accept a proposal)
3. 부탁을 승낙하다 (Accept a favor/request)
Furthermore, 승낙하다 is frequently found in legal and administrative documents. When you click 'I agree' on a website's terms of service in a Korean interface, you are effectively performing a '승낙'. It is the formal manifestation of 'Yes, I will comply' or 'Yes, I accept this offer'.
You are likely to encounter 승낙하다 in three primary environments: professional workplaces, formal family discussions, and legal/literary texts. In a Korean office, a manager might use this word when officially signing off on a project. It provides a sense of finality and authority that the word 'okay' lacks.
“거래처에서 우리의 조건을 승낙했습니다.” (The client has accepted our terms.)
In dramas and literature, 승낙하다 is the standard verb for accepting a marriage proposal. This is because marriage is seen as a formal contract between families, requiring a 'solemn consent.' If a character asks, 'Will you marry me?' the response in the third person would be '그녀가 승낙했다' (She consented).
- Frequency of Use
- High in written news, legal contracts, and formal speeches. Medium in daily spoken conversation (usually replaced by '알겠어' or '그래' in casual settings).
Additionally, in the digital age, '이용 약관 승낙' (Acceptance of Terms of Use) is a phrase every Korean speaker sees daily. It appears on every app sign-up screen, making the noun form '승낙' ubiquitous in the tech world.
The most frequent mistake learners make is confusing 승낙하다 with 허락하다 (to permit) or 동의하다 (to agree). While they overlap, their usage is distinct. 허락하다 is about power dynamics—giving someone permission to do something they couldn't do otherwise. 승낙하다 is about accepting an offer or request.
Wrong: 친구의 의견에 승낙해요. (I consent to my friend's opinion.)
Right: 친구의 의견에 동의해요. (I agree with my friend's opinion.)
Another mistake is using 승낙하다 in overly casual situations. If your friend asks, 'Want to grab coffee?' and you say '승낙한다,' it sounds like you are a king granting a royal decree. It’s grammatically correct but socially awkward. In casual settings, use '좋아' or '그래'.
- Comparison Table
- 승낙: Acceptance of a proposal (Formal).
허락: Permission from authority.
동의: Agreement on a thought or fact.
To truly master 승낙하다, you must understand its synonyms and how they vary in intensity and context. The most common similar word is 수락하다 (su-rak-ha-da). While '승낙' is broad, '수락' is often used for accepting positions, awards, or international treaties. For example, '대통령 후보직을 수락하다' (To accept the presidential candidacy).
“그는 위원장 자리를 수락했다.” (He accepted the position of chairman.)
Another related word is 찬성하다 (chan-seong-ha-da), which means 'to be in favor of.' This is used in voting or debating. If a group proposes a new rule, you '찬성' (vote for/favor) it. 응낙하다 (eung-nak-ha-da) is a slightly more literary version of '승낙하다', often found in older texts or very formal writing.
