§ How to Use '조금' in a Sentence
The Korean word 조금 is an adverb that means "a little" or "a bit." It's incredibly useful for expressing small quantities, slight degrees, or brief durations. You'll hear it all the time in everyday Korean conversations. Since it's an adverb, it primarily modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
§ Modifying Verbs
When 조금 modifies a verb, it indicates that the action is done to a small extent or for a short time. It usually comes before the verb it modifies.
저는 한국어를 조금 할 수 있어요. (I can speak Korean a little.)
밥을 조금 더 주세요. (Please give me a little more rice.)
기다려 주세요. 조금 있다가 갈게요. (Please wait. I'll go in a bit.)
§ Modifying Adjectives
When 조금 modifies an adjective, it means "a little bit" or "slightly." It expresses a slight degree of the quality described by the adjective.
날씨가 조금 추워요. (The weather is a little cold.)
이 옷은 저에게 조금 커요. (These clothes are a little big for me.)
저는 피곤해요. 조금 쉬고 싶어요. (I'm tired. I want to rest a bit.)
§ Using '조금' with Nouns (Implied Meaning)
While 조금 is an adverb, you'll often see it used with nouns in contexts where a verb like "to have" or "to give" is implied. In these cases, it functions similarly to "some" or "a little bit of."
물 조금 주세요. (Please give me a little water. / Please give me some water.)
시간이 조금 있어요. (I have a little time.)
§ Common Phrases with '조금'
Here are some common and useful phrases where 조금 is used:
조금만요. (Just a little bit, please. / Just a moment, please.) - Useful when asking someone to wait or for a small amount of something.
잠시만요, 조금만요. (Just a moment, just a little bit more.)
조금 있다가. (In a little while.) - Used to indicate something will happen soon.
조금 있다가 전화할게요. (I'll call in a little while.)
§ Comparing '조금' with '좀'
You might also hear the word 좀. This is a shortened, more casual version of 조금. They mean essentially the same thing, but 좀 is used more frequently in casual conversation. As a beginner, using 조금 is perfectly fine and always polite. You can gradually introduce 좀 as you become more comfortable.
조금 기다려 주세요. (Please wait a little.)
좀 기다려 주세요. (Please wait a little.) - More casual.
Both sentences are correct and understood. Just be aware of the slight nuance in formality.
§ Why is '조금' important?
Learning 조금 early on is very practical because it allows you to:
Express mild preferences or conditions. Instead of saying "I can't speak Korean," you can say "I can speak Korean a little."
Make polite requests. Asking for "a little more" of something is a common situation.
Describe things with nuance, avoiding absolutes.

Often Confused With
'아주' means 'very' or 'extremely', the opposite of 'a little'.
'많이' means 'a lot' or 'much', contrasting with 'a little'.
'전혀' means 'not at all' and is always used with negative expressions, similar to '별로' but indicating a complete lack.
Easily Confused
Both '조금' and '약간' mean 'a little' or 'a bit'. They are often interchangeable, but '약간' can sometimes sound a bit more formal or literary.
'조금' is more common in everyday spoken Korean. '약간' can be used similarly but might feel slightly more formal or when emphasizing a slight degree.
이 음료는 약간 씁쓸한 맛이 있어요. (This drink has a *slightly* bitter taste.)
'좀' is a shortened, more casual version of '조금'. This can be confusing because it looks very different but has the same core meaning.
'좀' is almost exclusively used in spoken Korean and adds a nuance of politeness or a gentle request. Think of it as softening a request or statement.
좀 도와주세요. (Please help *a little*.)
'별로' also conveys a small amount or degree, but it is almost always used with negative expressions, meaning 'not very' or 'not really'.
While '조금' indicates a small positive amount, '별로' indicates a small negative amount or lack of something significant. It always needs a negative verb or adjective after it.
저는 커피를 별로 안 좋아해요. (I *don't really* like coffee.)
'거의' means 'almost' or 'nearly', which can be confused with 'a little' if you're thinking about a small remaining amount.
'조금' describes a small existing amount. '거의' describes something that is close to completion or a certain state, often implying that only a small amount is left or needed.
숙제를 거의 다 했어요. (I've *almost* finished my homework.)
This is '조금' with the '-씩' suffix, which means 'each' or 'at a time'. It might seem like just 'a little', but the suffix changes the nuance.
'조금' means 'a little'. '조금씩' means 'little by little' or 'a little at a time', emphasizing a gradual or distributive action.
물을 조금씩 마시세요. (Drink water *little by little*.)
Memorize It
Mnemonic
Think of 'jogging a little bit.' The 'jo-geum' sound is like 'jog' and it helps you remember 'a little/a bit.'

This sentence means 'I can speak a little Korean.' The particles are correctly placed after the nouns, and the verb comes at the end.
This sentence means 'This food is a little spicy.' '이' is a demonstrative, '음식' is the noun, '은' is the topic marker, '조금' modifies the adjective '매워요'.
This sentence means 'I'm tired, so I want to rest a little.' '피곤해서' (because I'm tired) is followed by '조금' (a little) and then the desire to rest, '쉬고 싶어요'.
저는 오늘 숙제를 ___ 했습니다. (I did ___ of my homework today.)
The sentence implies that only a small portion of the homework was completed, so '조금' (a little/a bit) is the most suitable adverb.
이 음식은 매운데, 저는 ___ 매운 것을 좋아해요. (This food is spicy, but I like it ___ spicy.)
The speaker likes spicy food, but the context suggests they prefer it 'a little' spicy, not extremely so. '조금' fits this nuance.

'이 음식은' (This food) '조금' (a little) '매워서' (because it's spicy) '아이들이' (children) '먹기' (to eat) '힘들 것 같아요' (it seems difficult). The structure describes the food's characteristic and its effect.

그는 자신의 연구에 ____ 투입하여 놀라운 성과를 이뤄냈다.

'회의적인 반응을 보였다'는 것은 전반적으로 회의적이었다는 의미입니다. '대체로'는 'mostly' 또는 'generally'라는 의미로, 많은 사람들이 그렇게 반응했음을 나타내어 가장 적합합니다.
그는 자신의 실수에 대해 ____ 뉘우치는 기색이 역력했다.
'뉘우치는 기색이 역력했다'는 것은 매우 강하게 뉘우쳤다는 의미입니다. '몹시'는 'very much' 또는 'extremely'라는 의미로, 뉘우치는 정도가 강함을 나타내어 가장 적합합니다.
