At the A1 level, the word 조정되다 might seem a bit difficult because it is a formal word. However, you can think of it as a fancy way to say 'changed.' In English, when we say 'the time changed,' it is simple. In Korean, when we want to be polite or talk about a school schedule or a bus time, we use this word. It means something was moved a little bit. For example, if your Korean class was at 10:00 but now it is at 10:30, the time was 'adjusted.' You don't need to use it in your own speaking yet, but you should recognize it when you see it on a sign at a bus stop or a school notice board. Just remember: 조정되다 = a small, planned change for a schedule or a price.

For A2 learners, 조정되다 is a useful word for understanding basic announcements. You will often see it in the past tense: 조정되었습니다. This is the very polite form used in public places. When you see this word, look for words like '시간' (time), '날짜' (date), or '가격' (price) nearby. These are the things that usually get adjusted. For example, '가격이 조정되었습니다' means the price was changed (usually it went up or down slightly). It is important to know that this word is passive—it means 'was adjusted.' Someone else made the change, and you are seeing the result. Try to recognize the pattern: [Thing] + 이/가 + 조정되었습니다.

At the B1 level, you should start using 조정되다 in your writing and formal speaking, especially if you are in a workplace or academic setting. This word is much better than '바뀌다' (to change) when you want to sound professional. If you need to tell your boss that a project deadline has moved, saying '마감일이 조정되었습니다' (The deadline was adjusted) sounds responsible and clear. It implies that the change happened for a logical reason. You should also be able to use it with the particle '-로' to show the new state. For example, '회의가 금요일로 조정되었습니다' (The meeting was adjusted to Friday). This shows you understand how to connect the action to the result.

B2 learners should understand the nuance of 조정되다 as 'mediation' or 'regulation.' It's not just about schedules anymore; it's about resolving differences. You will encounter this word in news articles about the economy or politics. For example, '정부에 의해 세율이 조정되었다' (Tax rates were regulated/adjusted by the government). Here, the word carries a sense of official control. You should also distinguish it from 조절되다 (physical control) and 조율되다 (harmonizing opinions). At this level, your goal is to use 조정되다 to describe systemic changes or the outcome of a negotiation where multiple factors were balanced against each other.

C1 learners need to master the sophisticated applications of 조정되다 in technical, legal, and literary contexts. In legal terms, '조정' refers to a specific type of dispute resolution (mediation) that is different from '소송' (lawsuit). If a case is '조정되다,' it means it was settled through this formal mediation process. In technical writing, you might describe how a system's parameters are 'automatically adjusted' based on real-time data feedback. You should be able to use the word in complex sentence structures, such as '상황의 변화에 따라 유연하게 조정될 수 있는' (something that can be flexibly adjusted according to changes in the situation). This level of mastery allows you to discuss policy, engineering, and legal outcomes with precision.

At the C2 level, 조정되다 is used to discuss abstract philosophical or systemic concepts. You might use it to describe the 'adjustment' of one's worldview after a life-changing event, or the 'readjustment' of global power dynamics in international relations. The word becomes a tool for describing the constant, dynamic recalibration of complex systems. You will see it in academic papers discussing 'structural adjustments' (구조 조정) in the economy, which often refers to large-scale layoffs or company reorganization. At this level, you should be sensitive to the heavy social and political implications the word can carry, especially in the context of labor and management relations, and use it with appropriate gravity and precision in high-level discourse.

조정되다 em 30 segundos

  • A formal passive verb meaning 'to be adjusted' or 'to be mediated,' used for schedules, prices, and systems.
  • Implies a purposeful, logical recalibration rather than a random or chaotic change.
  • Commonly heard in professional settings, news reports, and public transportation announcements.
  • Distinguished from '조절되다' (physical control) and '수정되다' (fixing errors).

The Korean verb 조정되다 (jojeong-doeda) is a passive verb that translates to 'to be adjusted,' 'to be regulated,' or 'to be mediated.' In its essence, it describes a situation where something—be it a schedule, a price, a conflict, or a technical setting—undergoes a process of fine-tuning or modification to better fit a specific requirement or to reach a state of balance. Unlike a simple change (바뀌다), 조정되다 implies a purposeful, often professional or systematic, recalibration. It suggests that someone has looked at the existing state and decided that a slight shift is necessary for the sake of efficiency, fairness, or accuracy.

Business Context
In the corporate world, this word is ubiquitous. Meetings are rarely 'canceled'; they are often 'adjusted' (조정되다) to accommodate a busy CEO's schedule. It carries a nuance of professional flexibility rather than chaotic change.

내년도 예산안이 국회에서 조정되었다.
(The budget proposal for next year was adjusted in the National Assembly.)

When you use 조정되다, you are highlighting the result of a process. It is the passive form of 조정하다 (to adjust/to regulate). Therefore, the focus is on the object that changed rather than the person who did the changing. For example, if a company lowers its prices due to market pressure, you would say the prices 'were adjusted' (조정되었다). This sounds more formal and objective than saying they 'went down' (내려갔다). It implies a deliberate decision-making process was involved in the background.

Technical Settings
When working with machinery or software, you might see this word in manuals. If a sensor detects an error, the output might be 'automatically adjusted' (자동으로 조정되다) to prevent a system failure.

화면의 밝기가 주변 환경에 따라 조정됩니다.
(The screen brightness is adjusted according to the surrounding environment.)

Finally, it is worth noting that 조정되다 is frequently used in legal and social mediation. When two parties are in conflict, a mediator helps their opinions to be 'adjusted' (조정되다) so they can find common ground. This usage emphasizes the harmony and balance that the word implies. It is not about one side winning, but about both sides shifting slightly to reach a consensus. This makes it a very 'polite' and 'constructive' word in Korean discourse.

Social Harmony
In Korean culture, avoiding direct confrontation is often valued. Using 조정되다 allows speakers to describe changes in plans or opinions without assigning blame, focusing instead on the state of resolution.

서로의 의견 차이가 원만하게 조정되었습니다.
(The differences in opinion were smoothly adjusted/mediated.)

Using 조정되다 correctly involves understanding its passive nature. In Korean, the subject of the sentence is the thing that is being changed. Common subjects include '시간' (time), '일정' (schedule), '가격' (price), '의견' (opinion), and '위치' (position). Because it is a passive verb, it often appears with particles like -이/가 for the subject and -로 to indicate the result of the adjustment.

Resultative Usage
When you want to say 'X was adjusted to Y,' you use the structure: [Subject]이/가 [Result]로 조정되다.

회의 시간이 오후 2시에서 3시로 조정되었습니다.
(The meeting time was adjusted from 2 PM to 3 PM.)

Another common pattern is using adverbs to describe *how* the adjustment occurred. Words like '불가피하게' (unavoidably), '긴급하게' (urgently), or '합리적으로' (rationally) often precede 조정되다. This adds context to the necessity of the change. In a professional email, for example, you might explain that a deadline 'unavoidably had to be adjusted' to maintain politeness while delivering news of a delay.

Conditional Contexts
It is frequently used with conditional structures like '-면' (if) or '-ㄹ 경우' (in case). This is common in contracts or terms of service.

물가 상승에 따라 임금이 조정될 수 있습니다.
(Wages can be adjusted according to inflation.)

In more complex sentences, 조정되다 can be part of a relative clause modifying a noun. For instance, '조정된 가격' (the adjusted price) or '조정된 일정' (the adjusted schedule). This is a very efficient way to refer to something that has already undergone a change. It implies that the current state is the final, corrected version after some deliberation.

Noun Modification
Structure: [Verb Stem] + ㄴ/은 [Noun]. Example: '조정된 계획' (the adjusted plan).

조정된 예산에 맞춰서 프로젝트를 진행하세요.
(Please proceed with the project according to the adjusted budget.)

If you live in Korea or work in a Korean environment, you will hear 조정되다 in several specific locations. The most common is the subway or bus station. When there is a change in the timetable due to holidays, construction, or a strike, the announcements will frequently use this word to inform passengers that the 'running times have been adjusted.'

Public Transportation
Announcements often use the phrase '운행 시간이 조정되었으니' (since the operating hours have been adjusted) to warn commuters to check the new schedule.

열차 운행 간격이 일시적으로 조정되었습니다.
(The train intervals have been temporarily adjusted.)

Another place is the news, especially the economic section. When the central bank changes interest rates, or when the government modifies tax laws, the word 조정되다 is the standard term. In this context, it carries a weight of authority and systemic regulation. If you hear '금리가 조정되었다' (interest rates were adjusted), it is a major piece of economic news that affects everyone's loans and savings.

At the Office
Managers use this word to talk about workloads. If a team is overwhelmed, a manager might say the 'workload needs to be adjusted' (업무량이 조정되어야 합니다).

팀원들의 업무 분담이 새롭게 조정될 예정입니다.
(The distribution of work among team members is scheduled to be newly adjusted.)

Finally, you will encounter this word in legal settings or HR departments. In Korea, labor disputes are often settled through 'mediation' (조정). When a legal settlement is reached, the parties might say that their 'interests were adjusted' (이해관계가 조정되었다). This implies a fair compromise was reached through a structured process. It is a very formal way of saying they 'worked things out.'

Legal Mediation
The term '민사 조정' refers to civil mediation. If the case is settled, we say it was '조정되었다'.

법원의 중재로 양측의 합의안이 조정되었습니다.
(With the court's mediation, the agreement between both sides was adjusted/settled.)

One of the most frequent mistakes learners make is confusing 조정되다 with 조절되다 (jojeol-doeda). While both mean 'to be adjusted' in English, they are used in very different contexts. 조절되다 is used for physical or biological control, like volume, temperature, speed, or appetite. 조정되다, on the other hand, is for systems, schedules, prices, and opinions. You 'adjust' the volume of a radio with 조절, but you 'adjust' the meeting time with 조정.

조정 vs. 조절
조정 (Adjustment): Schedules, Prices, Opinions, Legal matters. (Abstract/Systemic)
조절 (Control): Volume, Temperature, Speed, Strength, Emotion. (Physical/Personal)

❌ 볼륨이 조정되었습니다. (Incorrect)
✅ 볼륨이 조절되었습니다. (Correct - Volume is physical control.)

Another mistake is using 조정되다 when a much simpler word like 바뀌다 (to change) or 수정되다 (to be corrected/revised) would be more appropriate. 조정되다 is quite formal. If you are just telling a friend that you changed your mind about what to eat for dinner, using 조정되다 would sound strangely stiff and 'robotic.' Use 바뀌다 for casual, everyday changes.

조정 vs. 수정
수정 (Revision): Fixing a mistake or making a correction in a document.
조정 (Adjustment): Changing a value or schedule to fit a new situation.

❌ 오타가 조정되었습니다. (Incorrect - Typos are fixed/revised.)
✅ 오타가 수정되었습니다. (Correct - Typos are corrected.)

Lastly, learners often forget that 조정되다 is passive. You cannot say 'I adjusted the time' using 조정되다. You must use the active form 조정하다. If you say '내가 시간을 조정되었다,' it sounds like 'I was adjusted by the time,' which makes no sense in Korean. Always check if the subject of your sentence is the 'thing being adjusted' (use 되다) or the 'person doing the adjusting' (use 하다).

Active vs. Passive
내가 일정을 조정했다 (Active: I adjusted the schedule).
일정이 조정되었다 (Passive: The schedule was adjusted).

❌ 사장님이 월급을 조정되었다. (Incorrect)
✅ 사장님이 월급을 조정했다. (Correct - The boss did the action.)

To truly master 조정되다, it helps to know its 'siblings' in the Korean vocabulary. These words share similar meanings but have distinct flavors that change based on the context. Understanding these differences will help you sound more like a native speaker who chooses the exact right word for the situation.

조율되다 (Jo-yul-doeda)
This word literally means 'to be tuned' (like a piano). It is used metaphorically for harmonizing different opinions or interests between people. It sounds softer and more collaborative than 조정되다.

양측의 이해관계가 원만하게 조율되었습니다.
(The interests of both sides were smoothly harmonized/tuned.)

Next is 변경되다 (byeon-gyeong-doeda). This is a general word for 'to be changed.' It is less about 'fine-tuning' and more about the simple fact of substitution. If a flight is changed from Flight A to Flight B, that is 변경. If the flight *time* is shifted by 10 minutes for better traffic flow, that is 조정.

개정되다 (Gae-jeong-doeda)
This is specifically for laws, rules, or constitutions. When a law is 'adjusted' or 'revised,' the term 개정되다 is used. It is much more formal and restricted to legal/official documents.

새로운 도로교통법이 개정되었습니다.
(The new Road Traffic Act has been revised/amended.)

Finally, consider 정리되다 (jeong-ri-doeda). While it often means 'to be organized,' in some contexts, it can mean a situation was 'sorted out' or 'settled.' If a chaotic schedule is finally fixed, you might say it was 정리되었다. However, 조정되다 is still better for describing the specific act of moving parts around to find a fit.

수정되다 (Su-jeong-doeda)
Used when something is 'wrong' and needs to be 'fixed.' 조정되다 doesn't necessarily imply the previous state was wrong, just that it needed to be different for the current circumstances.

기사의 내용이 일부 수정되었습니다.
(Some of the content of the article has been corrected/revised.)

Desafio

Try to write three sentences today about your daily schedule using '조정되었습니다' whenever something changes.

Origem da palavra

The word comes from the Hanja (Sino-Korean) characters '調' (조 - jo) and '整' (정 - jeong). The character '調' means to harmonize, tune, or adjust. The character '整' means to put in order, arrange, or make neat. Together, they create the concept of 'making things orderly by harmonizing or tuning them.'

Significado original: To arrange something into a harmonious and orderly state.

Sino-Korean

Contexto cultural

Be careful when using '구조 조정' (structural adjustment) in a workplace, as it is a common euphemism for layoffs and can cause anxiety among employees.

In English, 'adjusted' can sound technical. In Korean, '조정되다' is the standard way to be polite about changes in plans, whereas English speakers might just say 'the plan changed' or 'we moved the meeting.'

Found frequently in Korean news headlines regarding 'Interest Rate Adjustments' (금리 조정) by the Bank of Korea. Commonly used in 'Corporate Restructuring' (구조 조정), a term that became very famous/infamous during the 1997 IMF crisis. Used in the title of the 'Family Mediation' (가사 조정) system in Korean family courts.
