小贴士

Basic Usage

The phrase 전화를 걸다 literally translates to 'to hang a call' or 'to place a call'. It's the standard way to say to make a phone call in Korean.

Particles with '전화'

When you want to specify who you're calling, you can use the particles -에게 or -한테 after the person's name or pronoun. For example, 친구에게 전화를 걸다 means to call a friend.

Past Tense

To say I made a phone call, you would conjugate 걸다 to its past tense form: 걸었어요. So, 전화를 걸었어요.

Future Tense

To express will make a phone call, use 걸 거예요. For instance, 내일 전화를 걸 거예요 means I will call tomorrow.

Informal Usage

In casual conversation, you might hear just 전화 걸다 without -를. While technically less grammatically complete, it's common among friends. However, for correct grammar, always include -를.

Politeness Levels

When talking to someone older or of higher status, you might use more formal language. While 전화를 걸다 itself is neutral, remember to adjust other parts of your sentence (like verb endings) for appropriate politeness levels.

Answering the Phone

The opposite of 전화를 걸다 (to make a call) is 전화를 받다 (to receive a call or to answer the phone). It's useful to learn these together.

Using '하다' with '전화'

While 전화를 걸다 is common, you can also use 전화하다 as a verb meaning to call someone. It's a slightly different grammatical structure, but often conveys the same meaning. For example, 친구에게 전화했어요 means I called my friend.

Practice Sentences

Try forming simple sentences: 엄마한테 전화 걸었어요. (I called my mom.) 언제 전화 걸 거예요? (When will you call?)

Don't Confuse with '끊다'

Don't confuse 전화를 걸다 (to make a call) with 전화를 끊다 (to hang up the phone). They are distinct actions.
