At the A1 CEFR level, learners are introduced to basic vocabulary. '생선' is a common noun that fits this level as it relates to everyday life, specifically food. Learners at this stage will be able to recognize and use '생선' in simple sentences, often in the context of eating or buying food. They will learn to associate the word with the visual image of a fish and its role as a food item. The focus is on simple recognition and basic sentence construction, such as '생선 좋아요' (I like fish) or '생선 샀어요' (I bought fish). Understanding its function as a noun and its typical placement in a sentence with basic particles is key. The context is usually very direct and concrete, like pointing to fish in a market or on a plate.
For A2 learners, the understanding of '생선' expands to include slightly more complex sentence structures and contexts. They can now use '생선' in more descriptive sentences, perhaps talking about what kind of fish they ate or where they bought it. For example, '시장에서 신선한 생선을 샀어요' (I bought fresh fish at the market).

생선 30秒了解

  • General term for fish.
  • Used for both living fish and fish as food.
  • Common in food, market, and restaurant contexts.
  • Essential for understanding Korean cuisine.
Literal Meaning
Fish, a cold-blooded aquatic animal with gills, used as food.
Common Usage
This is a very common noun used in everyday Korean. It's used when referring to fish as a general category, whether alive in the water or as a food item. You'll hear it frequently in contexts related to food, markets, restaurants, and even discussions about marine life.
Related Concepts
The word '생선' is fundamental when discussing Korean cuisine, as seafood plays a significant role. It can be found in names of dishes, cooking methods, and descriptions of meals. Understanding '생선' opens the door to comprehending many aspects of Korean food culture.

한국 사람들은 생선을 많이 먹어요. (Korean people eat a lot of fish.)

A common statement about Korean dietary habits.

시장에서 신선한 생선을 샀어요. (I bought fresh fish at the market.)

Context: Food
In a culinary context, '생선' refers to fish as food. Koreans often enjoy grilled fish (생선구이 - saengseon-gui), steamed fish (생선찜 - saengseon-jjim), or fish stew (생선찌개 - saengseon-jjigae). The word is used when ordering at restaurants, grocery shopping, or discussing meal preparations.
Context: Marine Life
While less common in everyday conversation than its food-related use, '생선' can also refer to fish as living creatures. For example, if you're talking about a documentary about marine animals or visiting an aquarium, you might hear or use '생선' in that context. However, for specific types of fish, more precise vocabulary is often used.
Basic Sentence Structure
The word '생선' functions as a noun and can be the subject, object, or part of a noun phrase. It typically appears with particles like 이/가 (subject marker), 을/를 (object marker), or 은/는 (topic marker).
As a Subject
When '생선' is the subject of the sentence, it's often followed by 이/가 or 은/는. This indicates that the fish is performing the action or being described.
As an Object
'생선' commonly acts as the direct object of a verb, meaning it is receiving the action. In this case, it's usually followed by the object particle 을/를.
In Noun Phrases
'생선' can be part of a larger noun phrase, often modified by adjectives or other nouns. For example, '맛있는 생선' (delicious fish) or '구운 생선' (grilled fish).

이 생선은 정말 맛있어요. (This fish is really delicious.)

Here, '생선' is the subject, marked by '은'.

어제 생선을 먹었어요. (I ate fish yesterday.)

In this sentence, '생선' is the object, marked by '을'.

저는 생선 요리를 좋아해요. (I like fish dishes.)

Here, '생선' modifies '요리' (dishes), forming a noun phrase.
At the Market
When you visit a local Korean market or a supermarket's seafood section, vendors will often be calling out about their fresh '생선'. You'll hear phrases like '신선한 생선 있어요!' (We have fresh fish!) or '오늘 들어온 생선입니다.' (This is today's catch of fish.). Customers will also ask about different types of '생선'.
In Restaurants
Restaurants that specialize in seafood or offer fish dishes will prominently feature '생선' on their menus. You might see '생선구이' (grilled fish), '생선조림' (braised fish), or '활어회' (raw fish/sashimi, though specific fish names are more common here). Waitstaff will ask, '어떤 생선으로 드릴까요?' (Which fish would you like?).
In Homes and During Meals
During family meals, if fish is being served, it's common to hear comments about it. '오늘 저녁은 생선이야.' (Tonight's meal is fish.) or '이 생선 정말 부드럽다.' (This fish is really tender.). Children might ask for more '생선'.
In Media
Cooking shows, documentaries about the ocean, or news reports about fishing industries will frequently use the word '생선'. Educational programs for children might also use it when teaching about animals or food.

수산 시장에서 싱싱한 생선을 구경했어요. (I looked at fresh fish at the fish market.)

A typical scene at a Korean fish market.

이 식당은 생선 요리가 유명해요. (This restaurant is famous for its fish dishes.)

A common phrase heard when recommending restaurants.
Confusing General vs. Specific
Learners might overuse '생선' when a more specific term for a type of fish (like 고등어 - mackerel, or 갈치 - cutlassfish) is more appropriate. While '생선' is correct for 'fish' in general, in detailed conversations about cuisine or types of seafood, using the specific name is better. For example, saying 'I want to eat mackerel' is better as '고등어를 먹고 싶어요' rather than just '생선을 먹고 싶어요'.
Ignoring Particles
Like any noun in Korean, '생선' needs correct particles (이/가, 은/는, 을/를) to function properly in a sentence. Beginners sometimes forget to attach these particles, leading to grammatically incorrect sentences. For instance, saying '생선 맛있어요' instead of '이 생선 맛있어요' (This fish is delicious) or '생선 먹었어요' instead of '생선을 먹었어요' (I ate fish).
Pronunciation Nuances
While '생선' is a relatively straightforward word, paying attention to the pronunciation of '생' (saeng) and '선' (seon) is important. Ensure the 'ng' sound at the end of '생' is clear and the vowel in '선' is pronounced correctly. Mispronunciations can sometimes lead to confusion with other similar-sounding words.
Overgeneralization
Sometimes learners might use '생선' in contexts where it's not the most natural fit. For example, when referring to seafood in general that isn't strictly fish (like shellfish or squid), specific terms are preferred. While '생선' is the broad term for fish, it doesn't encompass all aquatic food items. For instance, shrimp is 새우 (saeu), and squid is 오징어 (ojingeo).

Incorrect: 저는 생선을 좋아해요. (Correct: 저는 고등어를 좋아해요. - I like mackerel.)

Using the general term '생선' when a specific type is meant.

Incorrect: 생선 먹었어요. (Correct: 생선을 먹었어요. - I ate fish.)

Forgetting the object particle '을'.
Specific Fish Names
While '생선' is the general term for fish, Koreans often use specific names for different types of fish, especially when discussing food. For example:
고등어 (Go-deung-eo)
Mackerel. A very common fish in Korean cuisine, often grilled or braised. Example:

나는 고등어 구이를 좋아해요. (I like grilled mackerel.)

갈치 (Gal-chi)
Cutlassfish (also known as hairtail). Another popular fish, often braised or fried. Example:

엄마가 갈치조림을 해주셨어요. (Mom made braised cutlassfish for me.)

조기 (Jo-gi)
Yellow croaker. Often grilled or salted. Example:

아침으로 조기 구이를 먹었어요. (I ate grilled yellow croaker for breakfast.)

해산물 (Hae-san-mul)
Seafood. This is a broader term that includes fish ('생선') as well as shellfish, squid, octopus, and other marine animals. If you're talking about seafood in general, '해산물' is more appropriate. Example:

저는 해산물을 좋아해요. (I like seafood.)

어류 (Eo-ryu)
Fish (classification). This is a more technical or academic term used to classify fish as a group of animals. You're less likely to hear this in everyday conversation compared to '생선'.

How Formal Is It?

趣味小知识

While '생선' is the most common word for fish, the word '물고기' (mulgogi) is also widely used and often interchangeable. '물' means 'water' and '고기' means 'meat', so '물고기' literally translates to 'water meat'. This makes '생선' a native Korean word, and '물고기' a more descriptive compound word.

Neutral
"물에 빠진 생쥐 꼴"

Informal

容易混淆

생선 vs 물고기

Both '생선' and '물고기' translate to 'fish' and are frequently used. The distinction, if any, is subtle and context-dependent.

'생선' is often preferred when discussing fish as food or in culinary contexts. '물고기' can sometimes emphasize the living creature aspect or be used more generally. However, in many everyday sentences, they are interchangeable. For example, '생선을 좋아해요' (I like fish) and '물고기를 좋아해요' (I like fish) are both natural.

시장에서 신선한 생선을 샀어요. (I bought fresh fish at the market.) 강에서 물고기 떼를 보았어요. (I saw a school of fish in the river.)

생선 vs 어류

Both are related to fish, but '어류' is a technical classification.

'생선' is the common, everyday word for fish, used when referring to it as food or a general creature. '어류' is a formal, scientific term used to categorize fish as a class of animals (e.g., '어류학' - ichthyology). You would say '생선 요리' (fish dish), not '어류 요리'.

이 생선은 맛이 좋아요. (This fish tastes good.) 어류는 척추동물입니다. (Fish are vertebrates.)

생선 vs 해산물

Both refer to things from the sea that are eaten.

'생선' specifically means 'fish'. '해산물' is a broader term for 'seafood', which includes fish, shellfish (like shrimp, oysters, clams), and other edible marine life (like squid, octopus). If you are talking about shrimp, you would use '새우', not '생선'. If you want to talk about all types of edible sea creatures, '해산물' is the correct term.

저는 생선구이를 좋아해요. (I like grilled fish.) 해산물 뷔페에 갔어요. (I went to a seafood buffet.)

생선 vs 회 (hoe)

Both are related to eating fish.

'생선' is the general term for fish. '회' specifically refers to raw fish or seafood, often served as sashimi. You eat '생선' prepared in various ways, one of which is raw, as '회'. So, '생선회' means raw fish dish.

저는 구운 생선을 더 좋아해요. (I prefer grilled fish.) 신선한 회를 먹고 싶어요. (I want to eat fresh sashimi.)

생선 vs 고등어 (godeungeo)

Both refer to fish.

'생선' is the general term for 'fish'. '고등어' is the specific name for 'mackerel'. When you know the specific type of fish, it's more natural to use its name. Saying 'I want to eat mackerel' is better as '고등어를 먹고 싶어요' than just '생선을 먹고 싶어요'.

이 생선은 정말 맛있어요. (This fish is really delicious.) 고등어 구이가 먹고 싶어요. (I want to eat grilled mackerel.)

如何使用

frequency

Very High. '생선' is a common, everyday word.

常见错误
  • Forgetting particles after '생선'. → 생선이 맛있어요. (This fish is delicious.)

    The subject particle '이' is needed after '생선' when it is the subject of the sentence. Saying '생선 맛있어요' is grammatically incomplete.

  • Using '생선' when a specific fish name is more appropriate. → 저는 고등어구이를 좋아해요. (I like grilled mackerel.)

    While '생선' means fish in general, if you know the specific type of fish (like '고등어' - mackerel), using its name makes the sentence more precise and natural.

  • Confusing '생선' with '해산물'. → 새우는 해산물이에요. (Shrimp are seafood.)

    '생선' specifically means fish. '해산물' is a broader term for seafood, including fish, shellfish, and other marine creatures. Shrimp ('새우') are seafood but not fish.

  • Incorrect pronunciation of '생선'. → Pronounce '생' with a clear 'ng' sound and '선' with a vowel similar to 'u' in 'sun'.

    Mispronouncing the 'ng' sound or the vowel in '선' can lead to the word not being understood or sounding unnatural.

  • Overusing '물고기' in culinary contexts. → 저는 생선 요리를 좋아해요. (I like fish dishes.)

    While '물고기' is a synonym for fish, '생선' is generally preferred when discussing fish as food. Using '물고기 요리' might sound slightly less natural in a culinary context.

小贴士

Master the 'ng' Sound

The 'ng' sound at the end of '생' (saeng) is crucial. Practice saying 'sing' and focus on the nasal sound without closing your mouth. Then, combine it with '선' (seon) to get '생선'. Listen to native speakers to get the pronunciation just right.

Learn Related Dishes

Once you know '생선', learn common fish dishes like '생선구이' (grilled fish), '생선찌개' (fish stew), and '생선조림' (braised fish). This will help you use '생선' in more practical and common contexts.

Practice Particles

Remember that '생선' is a noun and needs particles. Practice sentences using '생선이', '생선은', and '생선을' to understand its role as a subject, topic, or object. This is fundamental for building correct Korean sentences.

Visualize Markets and Meals

When you hear or see '생선', imagine yourself at a bustling Korean fish market or enjoying a delicious fish meal. This mental imagery can help you associate the word with its common usage scenarios.

Use Mnemonics

Create a vivid mnemonic. For example, imagine a fisherman named 'Sang' who uses a special net called 'Seon' to catch fish. 'Sang' + 'Seon' = '생선'. The more personal and visual your mnemonic, the easier it will be to remember.

Distinguish from General Seafood

While '생선' means fish, '해산물' (haesanmul) means seafood in general. Be mindful of this distinction. If you're talking about shrimp or squid, use their specific names or the broader term '해산물', not just '생선'.

Appreciate its Role in Cuisine

Understand that fish is a very important part of Korean cuisine. Learning about popular Korean fish dishes will give you a deeper appreciation for the word '생선' and its cultural significance.

Listen Actively

When watching Korean dramas, listening to Korean music, or interacting with native speakers, actively listen for the word '생선'. Try to understand its meaning from the context of the conversation or media.

Compare with Synonyms

Understand the subtle differences between '생선', '물고기', and '어류'. Knowing when to use each word will enhance your fluency and accuracy.

Write Simple Sentences

Try writing your own sentences using '생선'. Start with simple ones like '저는 생선을 좋아해요' (I like fish) and gradually build up to more complex sentences describing fish dishes or market experiences.

记住它

记忆技巧

Imagine a 'sang' (sang-hee, a common Korean name) who loves to eat 'sun'shine... but wait, that doesn't make sense! Let's try again. Imagine a 'sang' (sang) who is so good at fishing, he always catches 'sun'fish (sun-fish). So, 'sang' + 'sun' = 생선! Or, think of 'saeng' (sounds like 'sang') as in 'sang-hee' the singer, and 'seon' (sounds like 'sun') as in the sun. Sang-hee loves singing under the sun, and she loves eating fish!

视觉联想

Picture a lively fish jumping out of the water under a bright yellow sun. The 'sun' part of 'seon' can be linked to the sun, and the jumping fish represents 'saeng'. Alternatively, visualize a fisherman named 'Sang' holding up a large 'Seon' (a type of fishing line or net) full of fish.

词源

The word '생선' is believed to have originated from Old Korean. It is a native Korean word, not a Sino-Korean word derived from Chinese characters. The exact etymological breakdown is not definitively known, but it likely refers to a creature that lives in water and is consumed.

原始含义： The original meaning is directly 'fish'. Unlike some words that have evolved significantly in meaning, '생선' has consistently referred to fish.

Koreanic language family.

文化背景

While '생선' itself is neutral, discussions about sustainability, overfishing, or the ethical treatment of marine life can be sensitive topics globally. In Korea, the freshness and origin of seafood are highly valued, and consumers are often discerning about these aspects.

In English-speaking cultures, 'fish' is also a staple, but the specific types and preparation methods can vary greatly. While grilling and frying are common, dishes like sashimi are more niche compared to their popularity in Korea. The cultural significance might be less pronounced in everyday meals compared to its role in Korean traditions and festivals.

The phrase '생선 가게 고양이' (cat in a fish store) is a well-known Korean idiom representing someone in a tempting or precarious situation. Many Korean folk tales and proverbs feature fish, reflecting their importance in daily life and belief systems. Korean dramas and movies often depict scenes in fish markets or restaurants serving fish, showcasing its everyday presence in Korean society.

常见问题

10 个问题

Both '생선' (saengseon) and '물고기' (mulgogi) translate to 'fish' in English. They are often used interchangeably. However, '생선' is more commonly used when referring to fish as food, especially in culinary contexts like '생선구이' (grilled fish). '물고기' can sometimes be used more broadly to refer to fish as living creatures, as in '물고기가 헤엄친다' (fish are swimming). In many everyday conversations, either word is acceptable.

'생선' can function as both a count noun and a non-count noun depending on the context. When referring to fish as a food item in general, it's often treated as uncountable (e.g., '생선은 건강에 좋아요' - Fish is good for health). When referring to individual fish or specific types, it can be countable, often using counters like '마리' (mari) for living fish (e.g., '물고기 세 마리' - three fish) or '토막' (tomak) for pieces of fish (e.g., '생선 두 토막' - two pieces of fish).

The phrase for 'fishy smell' is '생선 비린내' (saengseon birinnae). '비린내' (birinnae) specifically refers to the unpleasant smell associated with fish or seafood. You might hear sentences like '이 생선에서 비린내가 나요' (This fish smells fishy).

Use '생선' when you are referring to fish in a general sense, or when the specific type of fish is not important or unknown. Use specific names like '고등어' (mackerel), '갈치' (cutlassfish), or '조기' (yellow croaker) when you know the type of fish and it's relevant to the conversation, especially when discussing recipes or ordering food.

Yes, there are a few. A common idiom is '생선 가게 고양이' (saengseon gage goyangi), which means 'a cat in a fish store', referring to someone in a tempting or precarious situation. Another idiom is '죽은 생선도 떠내려온다' (jugeun saengseondo tteonaeryeonda), meaning 'even a dead fish can float downstream', implying that even the inept can succeed by chance.

The pronunciation is 'saeng-seon'. The first syllable '생' has a nasal 'ng' sound at the end, similar to the 'ng' in 'sing'. The second syllable '선' has a vowel sound similar to the 'u' in 'sun' or 'bun'. The stress is generally even on both syllables.

Korean nouns do not typically have distinct plural forms. The plurality of '생선' is understood from the context or by using quantifiers. For example, if you are talking about buying fish at the market, it's understood you might buy more than one, or if you say '생선 요리를 많이 먹었어요' (I ate many fish dishes), the plural is implied.

Yes, '생선' can refer to fish as living creatures in the ocean. However, '물고기' is also very common in this context. For example, '바다에 생선이 많아요' (There are many fish in the sea) or '바다에 물고기가 많아요' (There are many fish in the sea) are both natural.

Popular Korean dishes made with fish include '생선구이' (grilled fish), '생선조림' (braised fish, often with soy sauce and chili paste), '생선찌개' (fish stew, typically spicy), and '생선회' (raw fish, sashimi). Many different types of fish are used for these dishes.

No, '생선' is considered a basic and relatively easy word to learn. It's a high-frequency word that learners will encounter early on. The main challenge for beginners is usually mastering the correct pronunciation and the use of grammatical particles that follow it.
