전망하다
전망하다 30秒で
- 전망하다 is a formal Korean verb meaning to forecast or predict the future based on analysis, data, or a broad view of current trends.
- It is primarily used in professional contexts like news reports, economic forecasts, and academic discussions, rather than in casual, everyday conversation.
- The word can also literally mean to look out over a wide area or landscape from a high point, like an observatory.
- Grammatically, it often pairs with the -(으)ㄹ 것으로 structure and is frequently used in its passive form, 전망되다, for objectivity.
The Korean verb 전망하다 (jeonmanghada) is a multifaceted term that primarily translates to 'to forecast,' 'to predict,' or 'to look forward' into the future. It is derived from the Hanja characters 展 (jeon), meaning 'to unfold' or 'to spread out,' and 望 (mang), meaning 'to look' or 'to hope.' Together, they create a concept of spreading out the possibilities of the future and looking at them systematically. Unlike simple guesses, this word implies a level of professional, academic, or data-driven analysis. You will most frequently encounter this word in news broadcasts, economic reports, and academic papers where experts are discussing trends in the stock market, climate change, or social shifts. However, it is also used in a literal sense to describe the act of looking out over a wide landscape from a high vantage point, though the metaphorical 'future outlook' meaning is far more common in daily professional life.
- Economic Forecasts
- In the world of finance, analysts use this word to describe the expected growth or decline of industries. For example, 'The semiconductor market is forecasted to grow' uses this verb to show a data-backed prediction.
많은 전문가들이 내년 경제 성장률이 낮아질 것으로 전망하다.
When using this word, the speaker is often positioning themselves as an observer who is synthesizing current information to project a future state. It carries a sense of objectivity. If you say '전망해요' (I forecast), it sounds much more formal and serious than saying '생각해요' (I think). This is why it is the preferred term for CEOs during annual meetings or for meteorologists discussing long-term weather patterns. It is also used in the passive form, 전망되다, which means 'to be forecasted,' and is incredibly common in written Korean reports to maintain a neutral, objective tone.
- Literal Usage
- While less common in modern slang, you can still use it to describe looking out from a mountain top: '산 정상에서 마을을 전망하다' (To look out over the village from the mountain top).
우리는 미래를 긍정적으로 전망하고
In summary, use 전망하다 when you want to sound professional, analytical, or when you are discussing broad trends. It is a 'big picture' word. Whether you are a student discussing your career path or a news anchor discussing international relations, this word provides the necessary weight to your predictions. It bridges the gap between seeing with your eyes and seeing with your mind's eye.
Mastering the sentence patterns of 전망하다 requires understanding its relationship with the future tense and the quoting particle. Because it is a verb of prediction, it is almost always paired with the -(으)ㄹ 것으로 construction. This structure translates to 'as the thing that will...' and acts as the object of the forecasting. For example, 'It is forecasted that prices will rise' becomes '물가가 오를 것으로 전망됩니다.' Note the use of the passive 전망되다 here, which is the standard way to report news objectively without identifying a specific person doing the forecasting.
- The Passive Pattern
- [Subject] + [Verb]-(으)ㄹ 것으로 전망되다. This is the gold standard for news reports. Example: '비가 올 것으로 전망됩니다' (It is forecasted that it will rain).
정부는 내년 물가 상승률을 2%대로 전망했다.
Another common pattern involves the use of adverbs like 밝게 (brightly/positively) or 어둡게 (darkly/negatively). Since '전망' also means 'view,' you can 'view' the future as bright or dark. '앞날을 밝게 전망하다' means to have a bright outlook for the future. This adds a descriptive layer to your prediction, indicating the mood or the quality of the expected outcome. In business contexts, you might hear '시장 전망이 밝다' (The market outlook is bright), where the noun form is used, but the verb form '시장을 밝게 전망하다' is equally valid when describing an analyst's action.
전문가들은 이번 선거 결과를 조심스럽게 전망하고
- Direct Object Usage
- [Noun] + 을/를 전망하다. This is used when forecasting a specific metric. Example: '미래를 전망하다' (To forecast the future).
Finally, consider the tense. While the prediction is about the future, the act of forecasting often happens in the present (전망합니다) or happened in the past (전망했습니다). If a report came out yesterday, you use the past tense. If you are currently looking at data, use the progressive form (전망하고 있다). This verb is a cornerstone of professional communication in Korea, and mastering its patterns will significantly elevate your formal Korean proficiency.
If you turn on the Korean news, specifically KBS, MBC, or SBS, you will hear 전망하다 within the first ten minutes. It is the lifeblood of the 'Economy' and 'Society' segments. The word is ubiquitous in discussions about the housing market, which is a major topic of interest in South Korea. Real estate experts are constantly asked to '전망' the price of apartments in Seoul for the coming quarter. In these contexts, the word carries the weight of authority. It is not just an opinion; it is a professional assessment based on interest rates, government policy, and supply-demand cycles.
- The Evening News
- Anchors often start segments with: '올해 하반기 수출이 늘어날 것으로 전망됩니다' (It is forecasted that exports will increase in the second half of this year).
기상청은 이번 주말에 태풍이 올 것으로 전망했습니다.
Beyond the news, you will hear this word in corporate environments. During a '주간 회의' (weekly meeting) or '분기 보고' (quarterly report), a team leader might say, '우리 팀의 실적을 긍정적으로 전망합니다' (I forecast our team's performance positively). It is a way to show leadership and strategic thinking. In academic settings, professors use it when discussing the future of technology, such as how AI will change the job market. They might say, '인공지능이 일자리에 큰 변화를 가져올 것으로 전망됩니다.' This usage highlights the word's role in serious, intellectual discourse.

Interestingly, you also hear it in sports commentary. Before a big match like the World Cup or a K-League final, commentators will '전망하다' the outcome of the game based on the players' current form and past statistics. While '예상하다' (to expect) is also used here, '전망하다' makes the analysis sound more in-depth and comprehensive. Whether it is the '날씨 전망' (weather outlook) or the '미래 전망' (future outlook), this word is your gateway to understanding how Koreans discuss what lies ahead.
One of the most common mistakes English speakers make with 전망하다 is confusing it with 예측하다 (predict) or 예상하다 (expect). While they are similar, 전망하다 is much more formal and usually involves a broader scope. You wouldn't use 전망하다 for a small, personal guess, like 'I forecast I will eat bread for lunch.' That sounds unnaturally stiff and robotic. For personal, everyday guesses, stick to 생각하다 or -을 것 같다. Using 전망하다 in a casual context can make you sound like a news anchor in a coffee shop, which can be unintentionally funny.
- Mistake: Over-Formality
- Incorrect: '친구를 만날 것으로 전망해요' (I forecast I will meet a friend). Correct: '친구를 만날 것 같아요' (I think I'll meet a friend).
❌ 저는 내일 비가 올 것으로 전망해요.
Another common error involves the grammar particles. Learners often forget the -(으)ㄹ 것으로 bridge. They might try to say '비가 전망해요' which is grammatically incorrect because 'rain' isn't doing the forecasting, and the structure is incomplete. You must use the 'as the thing that will' construction to link the future event to the verb. Also, be careful with the passive voice. '전망되다' is often used when the subject is the situation itself. If you say '경제가 전망해요,' you are saying 'The economy is forecasting,' which makes no sense. It should be '경제가 ... 전망됩니다' (The economy is forecasted to...).
❌ 시장이 성장을 전망합니다.
Lastly, don't confuse the literal 'view' meaning with the metaphorical 'forecast' meaning in the same sentence. If you are at a viewpoint (전망대), you are 'looking' (viewing), but you aren't necessarily 'forecasting' the weather unless you are an expert. While the word covers both, the context usually dictates which one is intended. In exams like TOPIK, this word frequently appears in the writing section (Task 53, the graph description), and using it correctly without these common mistakes is key to getting a high score.
To truly understand 전망하다, you must compare it to its cousins: 예측하다, 예상하다, and 내다보다. These words all deal with the future, but they have different 'flavors' and registers. 예측하다 (ye-cheuk-hada) is the most direct translation of 'to predict.' It often involves specific data or logic to determine a specific result. For example, predicting the exact score of a game or the exact number of sales. It feels more scientific and precise than '전망하다,' which is more about the 'outlook' or the general direction of things.
- 전망하다 vs. 예측하다
- 전망하다 is 'outlook/forecast' (broad, trend-based). 예측하다 is 'predict' (specific, data-point based).
전문가들은 내년 경기를 전망하고, 구체적인 수치를 예측합니다.
예상하다 (ye-sang-hada) is 'to expect' or 'to anticipate.' This is the most common word for daily life. If you think your friend will be late, you use '예상하다.' It doesn't require a professional report or deep analysis; it can just be based on your intuition or past experience. On the other hand, 내다보다 (naeda-boda) is a native Korean word (pure Korean, not Hanja-based) that literally means 'to look out.' Metaphorically, it means to look into the future. It is a bit more poetic and less formal than '전망하다,' often used in literature or when talking about a person's foresight.
그는 멀리 미래를 내다보는
- 추측하다 (Chucheukhada)
- This means 'to guess' or 'to surmise.' It is much weaker than '전망하다' and implies you don't have much evidence for your claim.
Finally, consider 가늠하다 (ganeumhada), which means 'to gauge' or 'to estimate.' This is used when you are trying to measure the scale or degree of something in the future, like gauging the impact of a new law. While '전망하다' gives you the view, '가늠하다' tries to measure the size of what you see. Understanding these nuances will help you choose the right word for the right situation, making your Korean sound more natural and sophisticated.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The Hanja character 展 (jeon) is the same one used in '전시회' (exhibition), implying that the future is being 'exhibited' or 'laid out' for analysis.
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing 'jeon' like 'john' with a heavy English 'j'. It should be lighter.
- Missing the 'ng' sound at the end of 'mang'.
- Slurring 'hada' so it sounds like 'ada'. Ensure the 'h' is audible.
- Putting too much stress on the first syllable.
- Failing to aspirate the 'h' in 'hada' correctly.
難易度
Common in news and signs, making it essential for intermediate readers.
Requires correct usage of the -(으)ㄹ 것으로 pattern, which can be tricky.
Used in formal speeches or presentations; rare in casual talk.
Very frequent in news broadcasts; easy to recognize once you know the sound.

ヒント
The '-ㄹ 것으로' bridge
Always remember that '전망하다' needs a way to link to the future action. Using '-(으)ㄹ 것으로' is the most natural and standard way to do this in formal Korean.
Check the Hanja
Remembering 展 (to spread) and 望 (to look) helps you realize that this word is about looking at the 'big picture' that is spread out before you.
Keep it Professional
Use this word in interviews, essays, and presentations. It instantly elevates your Korean and makes you sound more educated and analytical.
Watch the News
The best way to learn how to use '전망하다' is to watch a 5-minute economic news clip. You will hear it used with various trends and data points.
Passive for Objectivity
If you are writing a report, use '전망됩니다'. It sounds less like a personal opinion and more like a factual forecast based on evidence.
Imagine an Observatory
Whenever you see '전망', think of an 'observatory' (전망대). It helps you connect the literal meaning of 'seeing far' with the metaphorical meaning of 'forecasting'.
Pair with Adverbs
Don't just say '전망하다'. Add flavor with adverbs like '낙관적으로' (optimistically), '신중하게' (cautiously), or '불투명하게' (opaquely).
Big Picture Only
Reserve '전망하다' for large-scale events like the economy, climate, or career paths. Don't use it for small things like what you'll buy at the store.

語源
Derived from Sino-Korean (Hanja). 展 (전) + 望 (망).
元の意味: To spread out (展) and look (望). It originally referred to looking out over a wide landscape that had 'unfolded' before one's eyes.
Sino-Korean roots, common in East Asian languages (Chinese: 展望 zhǎnwàng, Japanese: 展望 tenbō).文化的な背景
When forecasting social trends, be careful not to sound too deterministic or fatalistic. Using '조심스럽게' (cautiously) helps maintain a polite and professional distance.
In English, we distinguish between 'viewing a landscape' and 'forecasting the economy.' In Korean, '전망하다' elegantly covers both, reflecting a holistic view of 'seeing' as both physical and intellectual.

よくある質問
10 問No, it's too formal. It would sound like you are giving a news report about your own life. Instead, use '생각 중이에요' (I'm thinking) or '할 거예요' (I will do).
'전망' is the noun meaning 'view' or 'outlook.' '전망대' is the specific place (like a tower or platform) where you go to see that view. For example, '전망대에서 전망을 봐요' (I see the view from the observatory).
In news headlines and formal writing, yes. '전망되다' (to be forecasted) is preferred because it sounds more objective and doesn't always need to mention who is doing the forecasting.
You can use it to describe a forecast that *was made* in the past. For example, '작년에 전문가들이 올해 경기를 좋게 전망했습니다' (Last year, experts forecasted this year's economy would be good).
No, it can be used for both. You can have a '밝은 전망' (bright outlook) or an '어두운 전망' (dark outlook). The word itself is neutral.
You can say '제 미래를 밝게 전망합니다' (I forecast my future brightly) or '제 미래 전망은 밝습니다' (My future outlook is bright).
Yes, the Hanja 'Mang' (望) means to look or to hope. While '전망하다' is analytical, it often carries an underlying tone of what people hope or fear will happen.
When forecasting a noun, use 을/를. When forecasting an action, use -(으)ㄹ 것으로. For example: '미래를 전망하다' or '성공할 것으로 전망하다'.
Yes, sports analysts often '전망' the outcome of a season or a big match based on player statistics and team condition.
In news headlines, they often just use the noun form '전망' at the end of a sentence, like '물가 상승 전망' (Inflation expected).

Summary
Use '전망하다' when you want to sound professional and analytical about the future. It conveys a 'big picture' outlook backed by evidence, making it the perfect choice for business meetings, news reporting, or formal essays. For example: '내년 경제를 밝게 전망합니다' (I forecast a bright economy for next year).
- 전망하다 is a formal Korean verb meaning to forecast or predict the future based on analysis, data, or a broad view of current trends.
- It is primarily used in professional contexts like news reports, economic forecasts, and academic discussions, rather than in casual, everyday conversation.
- The word can also literally mean to look out over a wide area or landscape from a high point, like an observatory.
- Grammatically, it often pairs with the -(으)ㄹ 것으로 structure and is frequently used in its passive form, 전망되다, for objectivity.
The '-ㄹ 것으로' bridge
Always remember that '전망하다' needs a way to link to the future action. Using '-(으)ㄹ 것으로' is the most natural and standard way to do this in formal Korean.
Check the Hanja
Remembering 展 (to spread) and 望 (to look) helps you realize that this word is about looking at the 'big picture' that is spread out before you.
Keep it Professional
Use this word in interviews, essays, and presentations. It instantly elevates your Korean and makes you sound more educated and analytical.
Watch the News
The best way to learn how to use '전망하다' is to watch a 5-minute economic news clip. You will hear it used with various trends and data points.
