Explicação 집다 in your Level:
At the A1 level, you should learn '집다' as a basic action verb related to eating. Since Korean food is often eaten with chopsticks, knowing how to say 'pick up food' is very useful. At this stage, focus on the simple present tense: '집어요'. You can use it to describe picking up a piece of fruit, a side dish, or a toy. It is one of the first verbs you will use when learning about Korean table manners. Think of it as the 'chopstick verb'. Don't worry about metaphorical meanings yet; just focus on the physical act of picking up small things with your fingers or chopsticks. Remember that it is a regular verb, so it conjugates easily compared to other verbs ending in 'ㅂ'.

At the A2 level, you begin to use '집다' in more varied contexts beyond just eating. You will learn to use it with different tools like tongs (집게) or tweezers (핀셋). You should also be able to distinguish '집다' from '줍다' (to pick up from the ground). A2 learners should practice using the instrumental particle '-(으)로' to say what they are using to pick something up, such as '젓가락으로' (with chopsticks). You might also encounter the word in simple instructions, like 'Pick up the card' or 'Pick up the pen'. This level also introduces the idea of 'pointing' to something on a map or in a book, which is a common classroom use of the word.
At the B1 level, you should be comfortable with both the physical and the simple metaphorical uses of '집다'. You will start to see the compound verb '집어내다' (to pick out/identify), which is used when finding a specific item in a group or identifying a mistake. You should also learn the common adverb '콕' (specifically/exactly), which is frequently used with '집다' to mean 'to pinpoint'. For example, '콕 집어서 말해 주세요' (Please tell me by pinpointing it exactly). At this level, you can use '집다' to describe more complex actions, like a crane picking up a container or a doctor using surgical tools. Your understanding of the word's regularity in conjugation should be solid by now.

At the B2 level, you will encounter '집다' in more idiomatic and professional contexts. It is often used in news reports or articles to describe 'pinpointing' a cause or 'selecting' a key issue. You should understand the nuance between '집다' and more formal synonyms like '지적하다' (to point out) or '선정하다' (to select). B2 learners should be able to use '집다' in passive or causative structures if necessary, though it is primarily used in the active voice. You will also see it in literature to describe subtle movements, such as a character picking up a fallen petal or a specific letter from a stack. The focus here is on the precision and intent behind the action.

At the C1 level, you are expected to understand the subtle nuances of '집다' in various registers. This includes its use in psychological or analytical contexts, where it refers to identifying a specific feeling or a hidden motive. You will notice how authors use '집다' to create vivid imagery of delicate actions. You should also be aware of the word's role in traditional cultural contexts, such as the 'Doljabi' ceremony, and be able to explain its significance. At this level, you can use the word fluently in debates to 'pinpoint' an opponent's logical flaw. Your mastery includes knowing exactly when '집다' is more appropriate than more academic terms like '포착하다' (to capture/detect) or '명시하다' (to specify).

At the C2 level, you have a native-like grasp of '집다'. You can appreciate its use in high-level poetry or complex legal/technical documents where the exact method of 'picking' or 'identifying' is crucial. You understand the historical evolution of the word and how it relates to other verbs in the Altaic language family if relevant. You can use '집다' to describe the most abstract concepts, such as 'pinpointing the zeitgeist' of an era. You are also sensitive to the rhythmic properties of the word in speech and can use it with various intensifiers to convey exact shades of meaning. For a C2 learner, '집다' is not just a verb but a tool for extreme precision in both thought and physical description.

집다 em 30 segundos

  • 집다 means to pick up small objects using a pincer motion with fingers or tools like chopsticks.
  • It is a regular verb, unlike the irregular 줍다 (to pick up from the ground).
  • Commonly used in dining contexts and for pointing out specific details or mistakes.
  • Essential for describing the use of chopsticks, tongs, and other grasping tools.

The Korean verb 집다 (jip-da) is a fundamental action verb primarily used to describe the act of picking something up using one's fingers, chopsticks, tongs, or a similar tool. Unlike the general English 'pick up,' which can apply to lifting a heavy box or fetching someone from the airport, 집다 is much more specific to the physical mechanics of grasping a small object between two points. This makes it an essential word for daily life in Korea, especially when discussing dining etiquette or handling small items.

Physical Grasping
Using the thumb and index finger to lift a coin, a needle, or a piece of paper.
Tool Usage
The most common context is using chopsticks (젓가락) to pick up side dishes (반찬) or using tongs (집게) at a Korean BBQ restaurant.
Metaphorical Pointing
It can also mean to point out a specific fact, error, or person, as if 'picking' them out of a group.

젓가락으로 김치를 집으세요. (Please pick up the kimchi with your chopsticks.)

Understanding the nuance of 집다 requires distinguishing it from its close cousins. While 줍다 (jup-da) means to pick something up from the ground (like litter), and 잡다 (jap-da) means to catch or hold something (like a hand or a ball), 집다 is strictly about the 'pincer' motion. In a Korean household, you will hear parents telling children to use their chopsticks correctly to 집다 their food, emphasizing the dexterity required in Korean culture.

Furthermore, the verb is often used in the compound form 집어내다, which emphasizes the result of picking something out or identifying it. For example, a teacher might 'pick out' a mistake in a student's essay. This transition from physical to abstract shows how deeply the concept of 'selective picking' is embedded in the word. Whether you are picking up a fallen pencil from a desk or selecting the best piece of meat from a grill, 집다 is your go-to verb for precision and selection.

Using 집다 correctly involves understanding its regular conjugation and its relationship with object particles. In most cases, the sentence follows the standard [Subject] + [Object] + [Instrumental] + [Verb] structure. The instrumental particle (으)로 is frequently paired with this verb to specify what tool is being used to perform the picking action.

With Chopsticks
젓가락으로 콩을 집는 것은 어려워요. (Picking up beans with chopsticks is difficult.)
With Fingers
손가락으로 과자를 집어 먹었어요. (I picked up and ate the snack with my fingers.)

이것 좀 집어 주실래요? (Could you pick this up for me? - referring to something on a table)

One of the most important grammatical points for learners is that 집다 is a regular verb. Unlike 줍다 (to pick up from the ground), which follows the ㅂ-irregular rule (주워요), 집다 remains stable. You simply add the endings: 집어요 (present), 집었다 (past), 집을 거예요 (future). This regularity makes it easier to master once you distinguish it from its irregular counterparts.

In more advanced contexts, you might see 집다 used with the auxiliary verb -내다 to form 집어내다. This implies a sense of finding something difficult or hidden and successfully picking it out. For example, '범인을 집어내다' (to pick out/identify the criminal). This demonstrates the verb's versatility in moving from a simple dining action to a complex cognitive process of identification and selection.

You will encounter 집다 in a variety of real-world settings in Korea. The most common is undoubtedly the dining table. Whether it is a casual meal at home or a formal dinner, the mechanics of eating Korean food revolve around this verb. You'll hear it in cooking shows when chefs explain how to handle delicate ingredients, or in restaurants when a waiter offers you tongs to pick up meat.

At the Restaurant
집게로 고기를 집어서 불판 위에 올리세요. (Pick up the meat with the tongs and put it on the grill.)
In a Retail Store
손님, 물건을 함부로 집지 마세요. (Customer, please do not pick up the items carelessly.)

그는 잡지에서 한 페이지를 집어 넘겼다. (He picked up a page in the magazine and turned it.)

Beyond the physical, the word appears frequently in educational and professional environments. Teachers use it when asking students to 'pick' a certain answer or 'point out' a specific word in a text. In business meetings, a leader might 'pinpoint' (콕 집다) the reason for a project's failure. This metaphorical use is very common in news headlines and analytical discussions, where precision is valued.

Finally, you'll hear this word in the context of fortune-telling or traditional ceremonies like 'Doljabi' (돌잡이). During a child's first birthday, various items are placed in front of them, and the child is encouraged to 집다 one. The item they pick up is thought to predict their future career or lifestyle. In this cultural context, the act of picking up is not just a physical movement but a significant choice that carries weight and meaning.

The most frequent mistake English speakers make with 집다 is confusing it with other Korean verbs that translate to 'pick up' in English. Because English uses 'pick up' for everything from lifting a car to answering a phone, learners often over-apply 집다 where it doesn't belong. The key is to remember the 'pincer' or 'chopstick' motion.

Confusing with 줍다 (Jup-da)
Use '줍다' when something is on the ground or floor. Use '집다' when something is on a table or in a container. If you dropped your keys on the street, you '줍다' them. If they are on the desk, you '집다' them.
Confusing with 잡다 (Jap-da)
'잡다' means to catch or hold. If you are holding someone's hand, it's '잡다'. If you are picking up a single grape to eat, it's '집다'.

❌ 바닥에 떨어진 돈을 집었어요.
✅ 바닥에 떨어진 돈을 주웠어요.

Another common error is conjugation. As mentioned, 집다 is regular. Many students mistakenly apply the ㅂ-irregular rule because so many other verbs ending in ㅂ (like 춥다, 덥다, 줍다) are irregular. They might say '지워요' instead of the correct '집어요'. This mistake can lead to confusion with the verb '지우다' (to erase). Always remember: 집다 -> 집어, 집으니, 집어서.

Lastly, learners sometimes use 집다 for picking up people. In English, you 'pick up' a friend from the station. In Korean, you must use '데리러 가다' (to go to get someone) or '마중 나가다' (to go out to meet someone). Using 집다 in this context would sound like you are physically lifting your friend with giant chopsticks!

To truly master 집다, you need to see how it fits into the broader family of Korean verbs related to 'taking' and 'holding'. Each word has a specific physical nuance that dictates when it should be used.

줍다 (Jup-da) vs. 집다
'줍다' is for items on the ground, often implying they were lost or discarded. '집다' is for items on a surface or in a container, usually for immediate use.
잡다 (Jap-da) vs. 집다
'잡다' is to grab, catch, or maintain a hold. You '잡다' a taxi or a criminal. You '집다' a piece of sushi.
들다 (Deul-da) vs. 집다
'들다' means to lift or carry. It is used for larger objects where the weight is significant. You '들다' a heavy bag. You '집다' a light pen.

그는 펜을 집어 들었다. (He picked up the pen and lifted it.) - Here, both verbs are used to show the sequence of picking and lifting.

For more specific actions, consider 쥐다 (jwi-da), which means to clutch or squeeze something in your palm, like a fist or a small ball. There is also 고르다 (go-reu-da), which means to choose or select. While 집다 involves the physical act of picking, 고르다 focuses on the mental decision-making process. If you are picking out a shirt from a pile, you are 고르다-ing the style but 집다-ing the fabric with your fingers to feel it.

In formal settings, the word 지적하다 (ji-jeok-ha-da) is often used instead of the metaphorical 집다. While '콕 집다' is common in speech to mean 'point out,' '지적하다' is the standard professional term for pointing out a mistake or a specific point in a document. Knowing these alternatives allows you to adjust your register from the kitchen table to the boardroom.

How Formal Is It?

Curiosidade

The noun '집게' (tongs) is directly derived from the verb '집다'. In Korean, adding '-게' to a verb stem often creates a noun for a tool that performs that action.

Guia de pronúncia

UK /tɕip̚.t͈a/
US /tɕip̚.t͈a/
The stress is balanced, but the second syllable 'da' is pronounced more forcefully (as 'tta') because of the reinforcement from the final 'p' in the first syllable.
Rima com
입다 (ip-da - to wear) 씹다 (ssip-da - to chew) 깁다 (gip-da - to sew/patch) 밉다 (mip-da - to be hateful) 쉽다 (swip-da - to be easy) 굽다 (gup-da - to bake) 줍다 (jup-da - to pick up from ground) 잡다 (jap-da - to catch)
Erros comuns
  • Pronouncing it as 'jib-da' with a voiced 'b'. It must be an unreleased 'p'.
  • Confusing the pronunciation with 'jup-da' (줍다), which has a 'u' sound.
  • Not tensing the 'd' in 'da' to 'tta'.
  • Pronouncing the 'j' too harshly like the English 'j' in 'jump'.
  • Forgetting the batchim 'p' sound entirely.

Metaphorical Precision

Use '콕 집어서' when you want to tell someone to 'be specific' or 'get to the point'.

Doljabi Tradition

Knowing this word helps you understand the most important event of a Korean child's first birthday.

Tense the 'da'

Make sure the second syllable sounds like 'tta'. The 'p' batchim makes the following 'd' sound strong.

Floor vs. Table

If it's on the floor, use 줍다. If it's on the table, use 집다. This simple rule prevents 90% of mistakes.

Compound Verbs

Try using '집어 들다' (pick up and lift) instead of just '집다' to sound more descriptive in your writing.

Context Clues

If you hear '집게' (tongs), '젓가락' (chopsticks), or '핀셋' (tweezers), the verb will be 집다.

Polite Requests

Always add '-아/어 주세요' when asking someone to pick something up for you: '집어 주세요'.

Pincer Motion

Whenever you see the word 집다, physically make a pincer motion with your thumb and index finger. This physical anchor helps memory.

Mnemônico

Think of a 'Jip' (Zip) or a 'Clip'. Both 'Jip' and 'Clip' are used to pinch things together. 'Jip-da' is the action of pinching something to pick it up.

Associação visual

Imagine a pair of metal tongs (집게) picking up a small, slippery bean. The precision required for that 'Jip' action is the essence of '집다'.

Origem da palavra

The word is a pure Korean (Native) verb. It has existed in the Korean language for centuries, appearing in Middle Korean texts with a similar meaning of grasping small objects.

Significado original: To grasp or pinch between two points (fingers or tools).

Koreanic

Contexto cultural

Be careful when 'pointing out' (콕 집다) someone's mistakes in public, as it can cause 'losing face' in Korean culture. Use it gently.

English speakers often confuse 'pick up' with 'fetch' or 'lift'. In Korean, '집다' is strictly the 'pincer' action. You can't '집다' a person from the airport.

Doljabi (돌잡이) - The traditional first birthday ceremony. Claw Machine (인형뽑기) - Extremely popular in Korea, where the claw '집다' the doll. Korean BBQ - Where everyone uses tongs (집게) to '집다' the meat.
