Often Confused With
Use '스스로' when a person or animal actively does something by their own effort. Use '저절로' when something happens without active effort or external cause.
Use '자동으로' for mechanical or programmed automation. Use '저절로' for more general spontaneous or natural occurrences.
Use '자연스럽게' to describe something happening or appearing in a natural, unforced manner. Use '저절로' to describe an action or event that occurs by itself.
Easily Confused
Both '저절로' and '스스로' can imply something happening without external help. '스스로' often refers to a conscious agent doing something by themselves.
'저절로' emphasizes an event or process happening spontaneously or automatically without deliberate action. '스스로' emphasizes an individual's own effort or initiation.
아이가 스스로 옷을 입었어요. (The child dressed themselves [by their own effort].)
Both mean 'automatically'. However, '자동으로' specifically implies a mechanical or programmed automation, whereas '저절로' can be more general.
'저절로' can describe natural occurrences or things that happen without human intervention in a broader sense. '자동으로' is almost exclusively used for machines or systems that operate without human input.
문이 자동으로 열립니다. (The door opens automatically [by a system].)
Both can mean 'naturally'. '자연스럽게' often describes a manner or state that is unforced or smooth, while '저절로' refers to the action itself happening naturally.
'저절로' focuses on the cause of something happening (it happened on its own). '자연스럽게' describes how something looks or feels (in a natural way, unforced).
그녀는 자연스럽게 웃었어요. (She smiled naturally [in an unforced way].)
Both can sometimes imply something being inherent or original. However, '본래' focuses on the original state or nature.
'저절로' focuses on the spontaneous or automatic action. '본래' refers to something being fundamentally or originally a certain way.
본래 계획은 달랐어요. (The original plan was different.)
In some contexts, '그냥' can imply something happening without a specific reason, similar to '저절로' implying a lack of external cause.
'저절로' means 'by itself' or 'automatically'. '그냥' means 'just' or 'simply', often indicating a lack of a special reason or purpose.
그냥 집에 있었어요. (I just stayed home [without any particular reason].)
How to Use It
저절로 is used to describe something happening without conscious effort, human intervention, or external cause. Think of it as 'all by itself' or 'spontaneously.'
Examples:
물고기가 저절로 헤엄쳐요. (The fish swims by itself.)
문이 저절로 열렸어요. (The door opened automatically/by itself.)
아기가 저절로 잠들었어요. (The baby fell asleep naturally/on its own.)
A common mistake is confusing 저절로 with other adverbs like '스스로' (by oneself/on one's own, implying self-initiation or conscious effort) or '자동으로' (automatically, often referring to a mechanical or programmed action).
While there's overlap, 저절로 emphasizes the lack of external influence or effort, more like 'naturally' or 'spontaneously.'
For example:
나는 스스로 숙제를 했어요. (I did my homework by myself - implying effort/initiative.)
이 기계는 자동으로 작동해요. (This machine operates automatically - implying a programmed function.)
vs.
꽃이 저절로 피었어요. (The flower bloomed by itself/naturally - implying no human intervention.)
Tips
저절로 has a natural feel
저절로 (jeojeollo) implies something happens without external effort or intervention. Think of a process that unfolds naturally.
Use for self-moving things
You can use 저절로 when things happen on their own accord. For example, a door that closes by itself.
Often with verbs of change
저절로 frequently pairs with verbs that describe a state changing or something appearing/disappearing. For instance, 'it opened by itself,' 'it grew by itself'.
Don't confuse with 'automatically' (기계적)
While 저절로 can mean 'automatically,' it's more about natural occurrence than a mechanical or programmed action. For mechanical automation, other words might be more precise.
Think of plants growing naturally
A great mental image for 저절로 is how plants grow by themselves without constant human intervention.
Common in everyday speech
This word is very common in daily conversations. You'll hear it often when Koreans describe spontaneous events.
저절로 + 되다 (to become)
A very common construction is 저절로 되다 (jeojeollo doeda), meaning 'to happen by itself' or 'to become natural'.
Can imply ease or effortlessness
When something happens 저절로, it often suggests a sense of ease or lack of struggle. It just... happens.
Practice with simple sentences
Try creating simple sentences like 'The door closed by itself' (문이 저절로 닫혔어요) to internalize its usage. Focus on natural events.
Listen for it in media
Pay attention to how native speakers use 저절로 in Korean dramas, songs, or podcasts. You'll quickly get a feel for its contextual nuances.

Frequently Asked Questions
10 questionsBoth '저절로' and '스스로' mean 'by oneself' or 'automatically,' but there's a subtle distinction. '저절로' implies something happening naturally, without conscious effort or external influence. Think of a flower blooming '저절로.' '스스로' often suggests a conscious, independent action, like someone learning '스스로' (by themselves).
Yes, you can! When used with people, it often means something happens without them trying or intending it. For example, '눈물이 저절로 났다' means 'tears came out by themselves' (without me trying to cry).
Not necessarily. While it often implies a natural, sometimes positive outcome, it can also be neutral or even negative depending on the context. For instance, '문이 저절로 닫혔다' (the door closed by itself) is neutral. '문제가 저절로 해결될 리가 없다' (the problem won't solve itself) implies a negative outcome if no action is taken.
'저절로' is generally neutral in terms of formality. You can use it in both formal and informal settings without sounding out of place.
'저절로' often pairs with verbs that describe a state of being or an action that occurs without external force. Common examples include verbs like 되다 (to become), 열리다 (to open), 닫히다 (to close), 녹다 (to melt), 사라지다 (to disappear), 나다 (to appear/come out).
Not typically. '저절로' is an adverb, so it needs to modify a verb or an adjective to make sense. You wouldn't just say '저절로' by itself as a complete thought.
While not a fixed idiom, you'll often hear phrases like 저절로 해결되다 (to solve by itself), 저절로 없어지다 (to disappear by itself), or 저절로 알게 되다 (to naturally come to know/find out). These are very natural ways to express something happening automatically.
'저절로' emphasizes a natural, unforced occurrence, while '자동으로' specifically refers to something happening automatically due to a system or mechanism. For example, a flower blooms '저절로,' but an automatic door opens '자동으로.'
Sure!
시간이 지나면 상처는 저절로 아물 거야.
(As time passes, the wound will heal by itself.)
This shows something happening naturally over time.
The best way to practice is to try using it in your own sentences. Think of things that happen naturally around you. For example, '잎이 저절로 떨어졌어요' (The leaves fell by themselves). Also, pay attention to how native speakers use it in dramas, songs, or conversations.

Summary
저절로 describes actions or events that happen naturally or automatically, without outside help.
- spontaneously
- automatically
- on its own
저절로 has a natural feel
저절로 (jeojeollo) implies something happens without external effort or intervention. Think of a process that unfolds naturally.
Use for self-moving things
You can use 저절로 when things happen on their own accord. For example, a door that closes by itself.
Often with verbs of change
저절로 frequently pairs with verbs that describe a state changing or something appearing/disappearing. For instance, 'it opened by itself,' 'it grew by itself'.
Don't confuse with 'automatically' (기계적)
While 저절로 can mean 'automatically,' it's more about natural occurrence than a mechanical or programmed action. For mechanical automation, other words might be more precise.
