Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntasYou can attach ~쯤 to a time word to say 'around that time'. For example, 두 시쯤 means 'around two o'clock'. Or 점심때쯤 means 'around lunchtime'.
Yes, absolutely! If you want to say 'about three apples', you can say 사과 세 개쯤. It's very common to use it this way.
They are quite similar and often interchangeable when talking about approximations. However, ~정도 can sometimes imply a 'degree' or 'level' more strongly than ~쯤. For example, 이 정도면 괜찮아요 (This level/amount is okay) uses 정도, but ~쯤 wouldn't fit there.
~쯤 usually comes after the noun, number, or time expression it's modifying. Think of it as directly attached to the thing it's approximating.
Yes, you can! For example, 얼마쯤 걸려요? means 'How long does it take (approximately)?' or 몇 명쯤 와요? means 'About how many people are coming?'
~쯤 is mainly for approximations of quantity, time, or degree. It wouldn't be used with abstract concepts or things that don't have a numerical or measurable aspect. For example, you wouldn't say '사랑쯤' (love approximately).
No, that's the nice thing about it! ~쯤 is a particle and it doesn't change its form. You just attach it directly.
No, ~쯤 is strictly for numerical or temporal approximation. If you want to say 'about a topic', you would use different particles like ~에 대해(서) or ~에 관한. For example, 한국 문화에 대해 이야기해요 (Let's talk about Korean culture).
A common mistake is trying to translate 'about' literally from English into Korean in all contexts. Remember that ~쯤 is for approximations of countable or measurable things. Don't use it for general 'about' topics.
Yes, it can appear at the end, especially if the approximation is the focus. For example, 몇 시간쯤? (About how many hours?) or 이 정도면 충분할까요? 네, 이 정도면 충분할 것 같아요. (Will this be enough? Yes, about this much should be enough).
