§ What '잘못' Means
Let's talk about the Korean word '잘못' (jalmot). At its core, '잘못' means 'wrongly' or 'badly.' It's a really common word in everyday Korean, so understanding it well will help you in many situations. Think of it as indicating that something isn't quite right, or that an action was performed incorrectly.
- DEFINITION
- 잘못 (jalmot): Badly, wrongly.
When you use '잘못,' you're often pointing out a mistake, an error, or something that went amiss. It can refer to an action, a decision, or even a situation. It's a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts, from simple everyday mistakes to more serious errors. It's less about the 'evil' of something and more about the 'incorrectness' or 'faultiness' of it.
§ When People Use '잘못'
People use '잘못' in several key situations. Here are some of the most common:
- To indicate an error or mistake: This is probably the most frequent use. If you did something incorrectly, you can say you did it '잘못.'
- To describe something that went wrong: If a plan didn't work out, or if something isn't functioning as it should, '잘못' can be used.
- To take responsibility for a mistake: When apologizing, you might use '잘못' to acknowledge your part in an error.
- To ask if something is wrong: You can use it in questions to inquire if there's a problem or if something is incorrect.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer. Notice how '잘못' changes the meaning of the verb it's attached to, indicating that the action was performed incorrectly.
제가 잘못 했어요. (I did it wrongly/It was my fault.)
In this example, '잘못 했어요' means 'I made a mistake' or 'I did it wrong.' It's a common way to apologize or admit fault.
길을 잘못 들었어요. (I took the wrong road.)
Here, '길을 잘못 들었어요' indicates that the action of 'taking the road' (들었어요) was done incorrectly, leading to taking the wrong path.
무엇이 잘못 되었나요? (What went wrong?)
This question is asking about what the problem is or what isn't right. '잘못 되었나요' means 'did it go wrong?'
Understanding '잘못' is crucial for expressing mistakes, apologies, and issues in Korean. It's a foundational word for communicating when things aren't perfect, which, let's be honest, happens to all of us! Practice using it with different verbs to get a feel for how it modifies their meaning. You'll find yourself using it a lot in conversations as you progress in your Korean studies.

Como usar
When 잘못 is used before a verb, it means 'wrongly' or 'mistakenly.' For example, 잘못 생각했어요 means 'I thought wrongly' or 'I made a mistake in thinking.' It can also mean 'badly' in the sense of something being done incorrectly or poorly. For example, 잘못 만들었어요 means 'I made it badly' or 'I made it wrong.'
A common mistake is confusing 잘못 with other adverbs that express negativity. While 잘못 specifically refers to doing something 'wrongly' or 'mistakenly,' adverbs like 나쁘게 ('badly' in a general sense of quality or morality) or 안 좋게 ('not well') have different nuances. For instance, if you say 밥을 나쁘게 만들었어요, it implies the food was bad in quality, whereas 밥을 잘못 만들었어요 implies you made a mistake in the cooking process. Another common error is using it as an adjective; remember, 잘못 is an adverb and modifies verbs.

10 perguntas잘못 generally means badly or wrongly. You use it to describe an action that wasn't done correctly or a mistake that was made.
Yes, 잘못 can also be a noun meaning a mistake or a fault. For example, '제 잘못이에요' means 'It's my fault.'
You can put 잘못 before a verb to show the action was done wrongly. For example, '제가 잘못 말했어요' means 'I spoke wrongly' or 'I said it wrong.'
They are related! While 잘못 means 'badly' or 'wrongly' (adverb) or 'mistake' (noun), 틀리다 is a verb meaning 'to be wrong' or 'to be incorrect.' So, you might say '이 답은 틀렸어요' (This answer is wrong) but '제가 답을 잘못 썼어요' (I wrote the answer wrongly).
Absolutely! A common way to apologize is to say '제 잘못이에요' (It's my fault) or '제가 잘못했어요' (I made a mistake / I did wrong).
잘못하다 means 'to do something wrongly' or 'to make a mistake,' often with a sense of fault. 실수하다 simply means 'to make a mistake,' focusing on the action itself without necessarily implying fault. For instance, '제가 잘못했어요' often implies 'I am at fault,' while '제가 실수했어요' just means 'I made an error.'
Not necessarily. 잘못 can be used for both intentional and unintentional errors. It just indicates that something was done incorrectly or that there was a mistake.
Yes, a very common one is '잘못했습니다' (I made a mistake / I was wrong), which is a formal way to apologize. Another is '잘못 알았어요' (I misunderstood / I was wrong).
It's pronounced jal-mot. The 'ot' at the end is like the 'ot' in 'hot,' but without the 'h' sound.
Not directly in that way. While it means 'badly' in terms of an action being done poorly, you wouldn't use 잘못 to say 'This food is bad.' For quality, you'd use words like 맛없다 (tasteless) or 나쁘다 (bad).
