When something happens without you expecting it, you can use 뜻밖에. This word is an adverb, so it describes a verb or an adjective. You might use it when something good or bad happens by chance. It's similar to saying "surprisingly" or "unexpectedly" in English. For example, if you ran into a friend you hadn't seen in a long time, you could say it happened 뜻밖에.

You can think of it as meaning 'out of the blue' or 'contrary to expectations'. It emphasizes the unforeseen nature of an event or outcome, making it a useful word for describing surprising occurrences in a narrative.
When using 뜻밖에, it's important to remember it expresses an unexpected occurrence that often brings a sense of surprise, either positive or negative.

Consider the nuance of 'by chance' which implies a less controlled or foreseen event, aligning well with the unexpected nature of 뜻밖에.
For example, you might use it to describe an unexpected gift or a surprising turn of events in a story.
It can often be interchanged with expressions like '예상외로' (unexpectedly) or '갑자기' (suddenly) depending on the specific nuance you want to convey, but 뜻밖에 carries a stronger emphasis on the element of surprise.

§ Understanding 뜻밖에 (tteutbakke)
Hello learners! Today we're looking at the Korean word 뜻밖에 (tteutbakke). It's an adverb that you'll hear and use quite a bit once you get comfortable with it. Essentially, it means 'unexpectedly,' 'surprisingly,' or 'by chance.'
- Korean Word
- 뜻밖에 (tteutbakke)
- Part of Speech
- Adverb
- CEFR Level
- B1
- Definition
- Unexpectedly; surprisingly; by chance.
So, when something happens that you didn't anticipate, or something that catches you off guard, 뜻밖에 is the word you'll want to reach for. It modifies a verb, telling you how that action occurred.
§ How to Use 뜻밖에 in Sentences
The beauty of 뜻밖에 is its simplicity in sentence structure. As an adverb, it generally comes before the verb it modifies. You don't need any special particles or complex grammar rules to attach it. Just place it where it makes sense to describe the unexpected nature of an action.
Let's look at some examples to get a better feel for it:
그는 뜻밖에 일찍 도착했어요.
- English hint: He unexpectedly arrived early.
Here, 뜻밖에 tells us that his early arrival was a surprise.
뜻밖에 좋은 소식을 들었어요.
- English hint: I heard unexpectedly good news.
In this case, the news was good, and it came as a surprise.
시험이 뜻밖에 쉬웠어요.
- English hint: The exam was surprisingly easy.
This sentence shows that the ease of the exam was contrary to expectations.
그녀는 뜻밖에 나타났어요.
- English hint: She unexpectedly appeared.
Here, her appearance was sudden and unforeseen.
우리는 길에서 뜻밖에 옛 친구를 만났어요.
- English hint: We by chance met an old friend on the street.
This example highlights the 'by chance' meaning, where the meeting was not planned.
§ Common Mistakes to Avoid
A common mistake might be to confuse 뜻밖에 with words that express surprise about a noun, like 'unexpected gift' (뜻밖의 선물). While similar in meaning, 뜻밖에 specifically modifies verbs or adjectives. 뜻밖의 (tteutbakkeui) is an adjective form that would be used before a noun.
- Correct Usage (Adverb)
- 비가 뜻밖에 왔어요. (The rain unexpectedly came.)
- Related Usage (Adjective form)
- 뜻밖의 비였어요. (It was unexpected rain.)
Notice the difference? 뜻밖에 (adverb) describes *how* the rain came, while 뜻밖의 (adjective) describes *what kind* of rain it was. For now, focus on using 뜻밖에 as an adverb to keep things simple.
§ Practice Makes Perfect
The best way to master 뜻밖에 is to use it. Try making your own sentences. Think about moments in your day that were unexpected or surprising and try to describe them using this word. The more you use it, the more natural it will feel.

시험이 뜻밖에 쉬웠어요.
우리는 길에서 뜻밖에 만났어요.
- 의외로 (uiwoero): This also means "unexpectedly" or "contrary to expectation." While very similar to 뜻밖에, 의외로 often emphasizes the unexpectedness of a *result* or *outcome*. 뜻밖에 can be a bit more general, referring to the unexpectedness of an event itself, not just its outcome.
그는 의외로 똑똑하다.
- 갑자기 (gapjagi): This means "suddenly." While something sudden can also be unexpected, 갑자기 focuses more on the abruptness and lack of warning rather than the non-conformity to expectation.
갑자기 비가 내리기 시작했어요.
- 예상치 못하게 (yesangchi mothage): This literally means "without being able to expect" or "unforeseeably." This phrase is very close in meaning to 뜻밖에 and can often be used interchangeably. It's a bit more formal or descriptive than 뜻밖에.
예상치 못하게 선물을 받았어요.
How Formal Is It?
"뜻밖에 귀한 손님이 방문하여 놀랐습니다."
"뜻밖에 좋은 기회가 찾아왔어요."
"뜻밖에 네가 와서 진짜 놀랐어!"
需要掌握的语法
Adverbs typically come before the verb or adjective they modify.

Can be used with the particle '-도' (even) to emphasize the unexpectedness.
뜻밖에도 선물을 받았어요. (Even unexpectedly, I received a gift.)

뜻밖의 사고 (an unexpected accident)
Often used to express a sense of surprise or fortunate coincidence.
뜻밖에 좋은 기회를 얻었어요. (I unexpectedly got a good opportunity.)
Can be replaced by similar adverbs like '갑자기' (suddenly) or '우연히' (by chance), but '뜻밖에' specifically emphasizes the unexpected nature of the event.
갑자기 비가 왔어요. (Suddenly, it rained.) vs. 뜻밖에 비가 왔어요. (It unexpectedly rained.)

neutral容易混淆
Many learners confuse '뜻밖에' with other adverbs that express unexpectedness or surprise, but it has a nuance of something happening without prior expectation or planning.
뜻밖에 specifically means 'unexpectedly' or 'by chance' in the sense that something happened outside of what was anticipated. It's often used when the outcome is somewhat positive or neutral, rather than a negative surprise. Other words like '갑자기' (갑자기) mean 'suddenly' and refer to the speed of an event, not necessarily its unexpectedness. '의외로' (의외로) also means 'unexpectedly', but it often implies that the outcome is contrary to what one would typically expect, often with a hint of irony or a comparison to typical situations.
그가 뜻밖에 나타나서 모두 놀랐어요. (He appeared unexpectedly, and everyone was surprised.)
Often used interchangeably with '뜻밖에' because both can describe unexpected events, but '갑자기' focuses on the suddenness of the occurrence.
While '뜻밖에' emphasizes the lack of expectation, '갑자기' emphasizes the speed and abruptness of an event. Something can happen '갑자기' but still be somewhat expected, or it can be both sudden and unexpected. '뜻밖에' doesn't necessarily imply suddenness, just the lack of anticipation.
비가 갑자기 내리기 시작했어요. (It suddenly started raining.)
Also translates to 'unexpectedly' but carries a different nuance of being contrary to what's usually expected or assumed.
'의외로' is used when the reality is different from what one would typically think or assume. It often implies a contrast or a surprising deviation from the norm. '뜻밖에' simply means it wasn't expected, without necessarily implying a contrast to a general expectation.
그 영화는 의외로 재미있었어요. (That movie was unexpectedly interesting [contrary to my assumption/what people said]).
Can be confused because it deals with possibilities, and unexpected things are often possibilities, but '어쩌면' is about 'maybe' or 'perhaps'.
'어쩌면' expresses possibility or conjecture, meaning 'perhaps' or 'maybe'. It doesn't describe something that has already happened unexpectedly, but rather something that *might* happen or *could* be the case. '뜻밖에' describes an event that *did* happen unexpectedly.
어쩌면 내일 비가 올지도 몰라요. (Perhaps it might rain tomorrow.)
Similar to '뜻밖에' in that both can imply something happened by chance, but '우연히' focuses purely on serendipity or coincidence.
'우연히' means 'by chance' or 'coincidentally' and strictly refers to something happening without intention or planning, often implying a lucky or unplanned encounter. '뜻밖에' also means 'by chance' but it more broadly covers anything that wasn't anticipated, not necessarily a lucky coincidence.
오래된 친구를 우연히 만났어요. (I coincidentally met an old friend.)
如何使用
When something happens out of the blue or against expectations, you can use 뜻밖에. It emphasizes the element of surprise. It can be used with both positive and negative unexpected events.
Many learners confuse 뜻밖에 with 갑자기 (gapjagi). While both relate to something sudden, 갑자기 simply means 'suddenly' or 'all of a sudden' without necessarily implying surprise or going against expectations. 뜻밖에 specifically carries the nuance of 'unexpectedly' or 'surprisingly'.
Another mistake is using it interchangeably with 놀랍게도 (nollapgedo). While 놀랍게도 also means 'surprisingly', it tends to focus more on the feeling of surprise, whereas 뜻밖에 focuses on the unexpected nature of the event itself.
小贴士
Meaning of 뜻밖에
뜻밖에 is an adverb that means unexpectedly, surprisingly, or by chance. It's used when something happens that was not anticipated.
뜻밖에 in sentences
You'll often see 뜻밖에 modifying a verb or an adjective, describing how an action or state occurred. It adds a sense of surprise to the event.
뜻밖의 vs. 뜻밖에
While 뜻밖에 is an adverb, you might also encounter 뜻밖의. 뜻밖의 is an adjective form meaning unexpected or surprising and directly modifies a noun (e.g., 뜻밖의 선물 – an unexpected gift).
Using 뜻밖에: example 1
Ex: 뜻밖에 좋은 소식이 들렸어요. (Unexpectedly, good news was heard.) This shows something good happened that wasn't foreseen.
Using 뜻밖에: example 2
Ex: 뜻밖에 비가 왔어요. (It rained unexpectedly.) Here, the rain was a surprise.
Using 뜻밖에: example 3
Ex: 저는 그를 뜻밖에 만났어요. (I met him by chance/unexpectedly.) This implies a coincidental meeting.
Synonym: 의외로 (의외로)
A close synonym is 의외로 (eui-oe-ro), which also means unexpectedly or contrary to expectation. Sometimes they can be used interchangeably, but 뜻밖에 often has a slightly stronger sense of surprise.
Differences from 갑자기 (gap-ja-gi)
Don't confuse 뜻밖에 with 갑자기 (gap-ja-gi), which means suddenly. While both relate to things happening quickly, 갑자기 focuses on the abruptness, whereas 뜻밖에 emphasizes the unanticipated nature of the event.
Practice with various verbs
Try using 뜻밖에 with different verbs to describe various unexpected situations. For example, 뜻밖에 성공했어요 (succeeded unexpectedly), 뜻밖에 합격했어요 (passed unexpectedly).
Listen for 뜻밖에
Pay attention to how native speakers use 뜻밖에 in conversations, dramas, or songs. This will help you get a feel for its natural usage and when it's most appropriate to express surprise or chance.
常见问题
10 个问题While both can translate to 'suddenly' or 'unexpectedly', there's a nuance. 뜻밖에 emphasizes the unexpectedness or surprise of an event, often with a neutral or positive connotation. 갑자기 simply means 'suddenly' and can be used for any sudden event, without necessarily implying surprise. Think of it this way: a friend showing up at your door without telling you is 뜻밖에 (unexpectedly). A car braking abruptly in front of you is 갑자기 (suddenly).
Yes, you can. While it often has a neutral or positive feel, it can also describe an unexpectedly negative situation. For example, '뜻밖에 나쁜 소식이 들려왔어요' (Unexpectedly, bad news arrived). The key is the 'unexpected' element.
It's quite neutral. You can use it in both formal and informal settings without sounding out of place. It's a commonly used adverb in everyday Korean.
뜻밖에 functions as an adverb, so it typically modifies a verb or an adjective. It usually comes before the verb or adjective it's describing. For example:
• 뜻밖에 선물을 받았어요. (I unexpectedly received a gift.)
• 뜻밖에 날씨가 좋았어요. (The weather was unexpectedly good.)
Not really a fixed phrase, but you'll often hear it in sentences like '뜻밖에 좋은 소식' (unexpectedly good news) or '뜻밖에 결과' (unexpected result). The adverb itself is very versatile.
Break it down: 뜻 means 'meaning' or 'intention'. 밖에 means 'outside of' or 'other than'. So, literally, it's something 'outside of one's intention' or 'beyond expectation'. Thinking of it this way can help you remember the 'unexpectedly' meaning.
While 'by chance' is a part of its definition, '뜻밖에' usually implies an unexpected outcome or event, not necessarily an accident caused by carelessness. For 'by accident' in the sense of a mistake, you'd typically use '실수로' (by mistake) or '우연히' (coincidentally/by chance) in a slightly different context. '뜻밖에' focuses more on the surprising nature of the event rather than the unintentional action that led to it.
Yes, 'surprisingly' and 'by chance' are good equivalents, depending on the context. Sometimes, 'out of the blue' can also capture the feeling of something happening without warning.
Not directly. 뜻밖에 describes *how* something happens or *how* something is. You wouldn't say 'He is 뜻밖에'. You might say '그는 뜻밖에 친절했어요' (He was unexpectedly kind), where it describes his kindness, not him as a person.
뜻밖에 is an adverb, so it doesn't have a direct noun form. However, if you want to express 'the unexpectedness', you might use a phrase like '뜻밖의 일' (an unexpected matter/thing) where '뜻밖의' acts as an adjective modifying '일'.

그는 나에게 ___ 선물을 주었다. (He ___ gave me a gift.)

우리는 여행지에서 ___ 유명한 배우를 만났다. (We ___ met a famous actor at the travel destination.)
Meeting a famous actor while traveling is typically an unexpected event, making '뜻밖에' (unexpectedly, by chance) the best fit. '처음' (for the first time), '마지막으로' (for the last time), and '항상' (always) do not convey the unexpected nature.
