When you want to say “even” or “also” in a way that includes something that might be a surprise or the last thing you expected, you can use ~마저. You attach ~마저 to the end of a noun.
Imagine you've lost many things, and then you lose the very last one. You would use ~마저 to emphasize that even that final item is gone. It highlights that everything, or a complete set, is included.
When you use the particle ~마저, it means that something you might not expect to be included, or the very last thing, is also included in a situation. It emphasizes that everything, right down to this last or surprising item, is part of what you're talking about. You attach ~마저 directly to a noun. It often carries a nuance of something being complete or that a situation has reached a certain point because even this unexpected item is involved. Think of it as saying "even this" or "this too" in a more conclusive way.
When used with a noun, ~마저 emphasizes the inclusion of something that was unexpected or was the last remaining item. It's similar to saying "even" or "also" in English, but with a stronger sense of completeness or finality. For example, if you're talking about losing everything, you might say "마지막 희망마저 잃었어요" (I lost even my last hope). This particle often carries a nuance of regret or something being completely used up or gone. It's typically attached directly to the noun without any space.
When attached to a noun, the particle ‘~마저’ emphasizes the inclusion of something that was unexpected or is the last remaining item. It implies that everything else has already been included or affected, and now this final or perhaps undesirable thing is as well. This particle often carries a nuance of regret, disappointment, or a sense of completeness, indicating that a situation has reached its extreme or final point.
The particle '~마저' is used to indicate that even a final, last, or unexpected item is included in a particular situation, often implying a negative or unfortunate turn of events. It conveys the meaning of 'even,' 'also,' or 'to boot,' emphasizing the inclusion of something that might have been thought exempt or beyond expectation. This particle is attached directly to a noun. While similar to '~도' (also, too), '~마저' carries a stronger connotation of completeness, especially when all other possibilities have been exhausted or when something particularly undesirable is included. It often implies a sense of finality or an unexpected addition that pushes a situation to its extreme.
Hello learners! Today, we're diving into a very useful Korean particle: ~마저. This little guy can add a lot of nuance to your sentences, and once you get the hang of it, you'll hear it everywhere. So, what does ~마저 mean and when do people use it?
§ What ~마저 Means
At its core, ~마저 indicates that even a final, unexpected, or undesirable item is included. Think of it like saying "even this, too" or "this as well." It often carries a sense of completeness, or sometimes, a touch of negativity or surprise because something that shouldn't have been included, was.
- DEFINITION
- Indicates that even a final or unexpected item is included; even, also.
Let's break that down. When you use ~마저, you're usually talking about a situation where several things have happened or been included, and then one more thing – often the last one, or one you didn't expect – is also included. It's like a final straw, or the last item on a list that completes a set, often with a slight emotional tone.
§ When to Use ~마저
You attach ~마저 directly to a noun. It highlights that this particular noun is the final element in a series, or an unexpected addition, emphasizing its inclusion.
- To Emphasize "Even the Last One": This is a very common use. Imagine a situation where everything is disappearing or failing. If the last remaining item also goes, you use ~마저.
돈이 다 없어지고 마지막 희망마저 사라졌어요.
(All the money is gone, and even the last hope disappeared.)
- To Indicate "Even This Unexpected Thing": Sometimes, ~마저 is used when something you wouldn't expect to be included, is. It expresses a sense of surprise or often, disappointment.
친한 친구마저 저를 믿지 않았어요.
(Even my close friend didn't believe me.)
- In Negative Contexts: ~마저 often appears in sentences that convey a negative outcome, regret, or a sense of things getting worse. It emphasizes that the situation is so bad that even a certain item or person is affected.
비가 와서 소풍 계획마저 취소되었어요.
(It rained, so even the picnic plan was canceled.)
§ Key Points to Remember
- It attaches directly to a noun.
- It often implies a sense of finality, completion, or unexpected inclusion.
- It frequently appears in contexts that have a slightly negative or regretful tone, or express surprise.
- While it translates to "even" or "also," it's stronger than just adding "too" and carries more emotional weight.
Practice using ~마저 in different sentences, and pay attention to how native speakers use it. You'll quickly develop a feel for its nuances. Keep up the great work, and don't let even the trickiest particles get you down!
§ Understanding ~마저
The Korean particle ~마저 is used to express that 'even' a final, unexpected, or remaining item is included in a situation. It often carries a nuance of something being the 'last straw' or the 'final one' that joins a group or action. Think of it as emphasizing that *everything* or *everyone* up to and including this final item is involved. It can sometimes imply a slightly negative or unfortunate context, suggesting that something that shouldn't have happened also happened, or something that was hoped to be excluded was not.
- DEFINITION
- Indicates that even a final or unexpected item is included; even, also.
§ Basic Usage with Nouns
You attach ~마저 directly to a noun. This noun is usually the last or an unexpected element that is being included in the action or state described by the sentence.
친구마저 나를 떠났다.
(My friend even left me.)
In this example, the speaker's friend, who might have been a source of support, also left, adding to the unfortunate situation.
마지막 기회마저 놓쳤다.
(I missed even the last chance.)
Here, the 'last chance' was something important, and missing 'even' that emphasizes the complete failure or disappointment.
§ Nuances and Context
While ~마저 means 'even' or 'also,' it often carries a connotation of something being the *final* item or an *unexpected* addition, often in a negative sense. It suggests that a situation has escalated to a point where even this final or unexpected element is included, which might be undesirable or surprising.
Emphasizing Completeness/Finality: When everything is gone, used up, or included.
남아있던 돈마저 다 썼다.
(I spent even the remaining money.)This sentence implies that not only some money was spent, but 'even' the very last of it was used up.
Unexpected or Unfortunate Inclusion: When something that shouldn't or wouldn't normally be included *is* included.
선생님마저 나를 믿지 않았다.
(Even the teacher didn't believe me.)Here, the teacher might be someone who is usually supportive or understanding, so their disbelief is particularly disheartening.
§ Examples for Practice
Let's look at more examples to solidify your understanding:
The rain started, and then the wind even started to blow harder.
비가 오고 바람마저 더 세게 불었다.
Everyone left, and even my pet left me.
모두 떠났고, 내 애완동물마저 나를 떠났다.
I lost my wallet, and even my phone broke.
지갑을 잃어버렸는데, 휴대폰마저 고장났다.
Remember, ~마저 is a useful particle for adding emphasis to the finality or unexpectedness of an item being included, often with a subtle negative or unfortunate undertone. Keep practicing with these examples, and try to make your own sentences!
§ Understanding ~마저: Even the Last One
The Korean particle ~마저 is used when you want to emphasize that something, usually the last remaining item or an unexpected one, is also included in a situation. It often carries a nuance of negativity or regret, implying that because of this inclusion, the situation has become worse or complete in a negative way. Think of it as saying, "even that last thing" or "even that unexpected thing."
- Definition
- Indicates that even a final or unexpected item is included; even, also.
§ Examples of ~마저 in Use
친구마저 나를 떠났다. (Even my friend left me.)
마지막 희망마저 사라졌다. (Even the last hope disappeared.)
가지고 있던 돈마저 다 잃었다. (I lost even the money I had.)
그는 믿었던 사람마저 배신했다. (He betrayed even the person he trusted.)
§ ~마저 vs. Similar Korean Particles
Korean has several particles that can express the idea of "even" or "also." Understanding the subtle differences will help you use them correctly.
- ~도 (also, too, even): This is the most general particle for "also" or "even." It doesn't carry the same strong negative or final nuance as ~마저. It simply adds an item to a list or emphasizes an unexpected inclusion without implying a negative outcome.
나도 갈 거야. (I will go too.)
쉬운 문제도 틀렸다. (I got even the easy question wrong.)
- ~까지 (even, up to, to the extent of): Similar to ~마저, ~까지 can also express "even" with a sense of including something that goes beyond expectations. However, ~까지 often implies a range or limit, suggesting that something extends *up to* a certain point or includes *everything* within a certain scope. While ~마저 focuses on the *final* or *unexpected* item, ~까지 can have a broader scope of inclusion. It can also imply a negative outcome, but not as strongly tied to the 'last straw' feeling as ~마저.
늦잠을 자서 아침밥까지 굶었다. (I overslept, so I even skipped breakfast.)
아이까지 아프다니. (Even the child is sick.)
- ~조차 (even, furthermore): This particle is very close in meaning to ~마저, often interchangeable, especially in negative contexts. It strongly emphasizes the inclusion of something unexpected or extreme, and like ~마저, it typically implies a negative consequence or a regrettable situation. If there's a slight difference, ~조차 might have a stronger sense of 'not even this basic thing' or 'furthermore, not even this.'
그는 한마디조차 하지 않았다. (He didn't even say a word.)
저는 제 이름조차 기억하지 못했어요. (I couldn't even remember my own name.)
§ When to Choose ~마저
Choose ~마저 when you want to highlight that *even the last remaining item*, or *an unexpected and crucial item*, is involved, often leading to a negative or complete (in a bad way) situation. It's about that 'final straw' or 'everything is gone/bad' feeling. It emphasizes a sense of culmination, often with regret or despair.
While ~도 is general, and ~까지 can show a range, ~마저 and ~조차 are more specific to highlighting an extreme or final inclusion, usually in a context of loss, failure, or regret. The distinction between ~마저 and ~조차 can be subtle, but generally, ~마저 leans slightly more towards the 'last one' or 'final element' aspect, making a situation entirely negative.
How Formal Is It?
"그의 마지막 희망마저 사라졌다."
"친구마저 나를 떠났다."
"너마저 날 배신했어?"
"엄마까지도 내 편이 아니야."
"야, 너까지 왜 그래?"

저는 모든 숙제를 마쳤지만, 마지막 문제___ 틀렸어요.
In this context, '마저' emphasizes that even the very last problem was wrong, indicating an unexpected or final item. The sentence means, 'I finished all the homework, but even the last problem was wrong.'
그는 모든 희망을 잃었고, 건강___ 나빠지기 시작했다.
'마저' highlights that even his health, an additional negative aspect, started to worsen after he lost all hope. The sentence means, 'He lost all hope, and even his health began to deteriorate.'
바쁜 일정 때문에 잠___ 제대로 잘 수 없었다.
Here, '마저' emphasizes that even sleep, a basic necessity, was not possible due to the busy schedule. The sentence means, 'Because of the busy schedule, I couldn't even sleep properly.'
모든 친구들이 떠났고, 나___ 그를 외면했다.
'마저' indicates that even 'I', as a final or unexpected person, turned away from him. The sentence means, 'All his friends left, and even I turned away from him.'
그는 돈을 모두 잃었고, 집___ 경매에 넘어갔다.
The particle '마저' emphasizes that even his house, as a final possession, went to auction. The sentence means, 'He lost all his money, and even his house went to auction.'
어제는 날씨가 너무 좋지 않아서 운동___ 못했다.
'마저' highlights that even exercise, which might have been a small possibility, was not done due to the bad weather. The sentence means, 'Yesterday the weather was so bad that I couldn't even exercise.'
다음 문장에서 '~마저'의 올바른 사용은 무엇입니까? (What is the correct usage of '~마저' in the following sentence?)
'~마저'는 예상치 못한 마지막 항목이 포함됨을 나타내므로, '친구마저 오지 않았다'는 친구까지도 오지 않았다는 의미가 됩니다. ( '~마저' indicates that even a final or unexpected item is included. So, '친구마저 오지 않았다' means even the friend didn't come.)
빈칸에 들어갈 가장 적절한 표현은 무엇입니까? (What is the most appropriate expression to fill in the blank?) 돈 _____ 잃고 건강 _____ 잃었다. (I lost money, and I lost health ____.)
이 문맥에서는 돈과 건강 모두를 잃었다는 의미를 강조하므로, '~마저'를 사용하여 마지막까지 잃었다는 느낌을 주는 것이 자연스럽습니다. (In this context, it emphasizes losing both money and health, so using '~마저' to convey the feeling of losing even the last thing is natural.)
다음 문장 중 '~마저'를 잘못 사용한 것은 무엇입니까? (Which of the following sentences uses '~마저' incorrectly?)
'숙제마저 다 끝냈다'는 문맥상 어색합니다. 숙제는 일반적으로 해야 할 일의 일부이지, 예상치 못한 마지막 항목으로 간주되지 않습니다. (The sentence '숙제마저 다 끝냈다' is awkward in context. Homework is generally part of what needs to be done, not an unexpected final item.)
그는 모든 것을 잃고 가족마저 떠났다. (He lost everything, and even his family left.) 이 문장은 '~마저'의 사용이 적절하다. (The usage of '~마저' in this sentence is appropriate.)
가족이 떠나는 것은 예상치 못한 마지막 상황을 나타내므로 '~마저'의 사용이 적절합니다. (His family leaving indicates an unexpected final situation, so the use of '~마저' is appropriate.)
시간마저 부족해서 일을 다 못했다. (I couldn't finish the work because I ran out of time.) 이 문장은 '~마저'의 사용이 적절하다. (The usage of '~마저' in this sentence is appropriate.)
시간이 부족한 것이 최종적인 장애물임을 강조하므로, '~마저'의 사용이 적절합니다. (It emphasizes that lack of time was the final obstacle, so the use of '~마저' is appropriate.)
그는 사과마저 좋아한다. (He even likes apples.) 이 문장은 '~마저'의 사용이 적절하다. (The usage of '~마저' in this sentence is appropriate.)
'~마저'는 주로 부정적인 상황이나 예상치 못한 마지막 항목을 강조할 때 사용됩니다. 단순히 사과를 좋아한다는 긍정적인 상황에는 적합하지 않습니다. 이 경우에는 '~도'나 '~까지'가 더 자연스럽습니다. ( '~마저' is primarily used to emphasize negative situations or unexpected final items. It is not suitable for a simple positive situation like liking apples. In this case, '~도' or '~까지' would be more natural.)
The last remaining hope disappeared.
He even turned his back on his friends.
To make matters worse, it even started to rain.

그는 모든 것을 잃고 친구들___ 떠나버렸다.

오랜만에 만난 친구는 내 이름___ 기억하지 못했다.
In this context, '마저' highlights the unexpected and disappointing fact that the friend couldn't remember even the speaker's name, which is a basic thing to remember. '밖에' implies 'only' or 'nothing but'. '까지' and '부터' don't fit the nuance of 'even the basic/last item'.
힘들 때 기댈 수 있는 가족___ 나를 외면했다.
Here, '마저' emphasizes the surprising and disheartening fact that even family, who are typically a source of support, turned away. '부터' means 'from'. '까지' means 'up to' or 'even', but '마저' has a stronger nuance of 'even the last/unexpected one'. '밖에' means 'only' or 'nothing but'.
시험이 너무 어려워서 포기할까 생각하는 순간, 연필___ 부러졌다.
This sentence uses '마저' to emphasize the unexpected and frustrating event of the pencil breaking at a critical moment, adding to the feeling of giving up. '이나' suggests 'or' or 'about'. '밖에' means 'only' or 'nothing but'. '도' means 'also' but '마저' captures the 'even the last straw' feeling better.
아침 일찍부터 서둘렀지만, 결국 지하철___ 놓쳤다.
'마저' here emphasizes that despite all the effort, even the last opportunity (the subway) was missed, adding to the sense of misfortune. '이나' means 'or' or 'about'. '부터' means 'from'. '까지' means 'up to' or 'even', but '마저' better conveys the 'even the last one' nuance in this context.
그는 모든 희망을 잃고, 마지막 남은 돈___ 도박으로 탕진했다.
In this sentence, '마저' highlights the complete and utter loss, as even the last remaining money was squandered. '도' means 'also'. '이나' means 'or' or 'about'. '밖에' means 'only' or 'nothing but'. '마저' is the most suitable choice to convey the sense of 'even the final thing'.
모든 희망마저 사라졌다.
The particle '~마저' emphasizes that even the last remaining hope has vanished, implying a complete disappearance of hope.
그는 마지막 기회마저 놓쳤다.
'~마저' here means that even the final opportunity was lost, highlighting the totality of the loss.
지갑마저 잃어버려서 돈이 하나도 없다.

'~마저' is used to emphasize that something, often negative or unexpected, is included, especially when it's the last or a significant item.
The particle '~마저' indeed adds emphasis to the inclusion of an item, particularly when it's the final one or something surprising, often with a negative connotation.
When you say '친구마저 떠났다', it means 'Only my friend left.'
'친구마저 떠났다' means 'Even my friend left.', implying that not only others, but also the friend, left. It emphasizes the unexpected or final departure of the friend.
If you say '건강마저 나빠졌다', it suggests that other things were already bad, and now even health has worsened.
'건강마저 나빠졌다' implies that other aspects were already negative, and 'even' health, which might have been stable, has now also deteriorated, highlighting a worsening overall situation.
Think about what '마지막 희망' means in this context.
The speaker is feeling abandoned. Consider the nuance of '너마저'.
Despite difficulties, what did he not lose?

위 글에서 '면역력마저 약화된다'는 표현이 의미하는 바는 무엇입니까?
Read this passage:
최근 한 연구에 따르면, 극심한 스트레스는 사람의 인지 능력뿐만 아니라 신체 건강에도 치명적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 수면 부족이 장기화되면 면역력마저 약화되어 각종 질병에 노출될 위험이 커진다. 전문가들은 이러한 악순환을 끊기 위해 스트레스 관리와 충분한 휴식이 필수적이라고 강조한다.
