When you eat something bad or feel sick, sometimes your body needs to get rid of it. In Korean, the verb for this action is 토하다.
Think of it like when you have food poisoning or get seasick – your stomach might feel upset, and then you 토하다. This word is really useful for describing feeling unwell.
It's an important word to know for talking about health and what happens when someone is ill. For example, if a child eats too much candy and feels sick, they might 토하다.
So, 토하다 means to vomit or throw up what's in your stomach. It's a direct and practical word for this common experience.
When you feel unwell and your body needs to get rid of something from your stomach, the Korean word for this action is 토하다. This verb describes the act of vomiting or throwing up. It's used in situations where someone is sick, has eaten something bad, or is experiencing nausea. You might hear people say, "속이 안 좋아서 토했어요" which means "My stomach wasn't feeling well, so I vomited." Understanding 토하다 is practical for discussing health and physical reactions in Korean.
When discussing bodily functions in Korean, 토하다 (toh-ha-da) is the verb used to describe the act of vomiting or throwing up. It's a direct and common term used in everyday conversation.
For example, if someone feels nauseous and throws up, you would say 그 사람이 토했어요 (geu sa-ram-i toh-haet-seo-yo), meaning "That person vomited." It can also be used in situations where something is forcefully expelled, though its primary meaning relates to stomach contents.
When discussing the verb "토하다" at a C2 level, it's beneficial to consider its nuances and broader applications beyond the literal act of vomiting. While its primary meaning is indeed to expel stomach contents, its usage can extend metaphorically, especially in literature or more expressive contexts.
For instance, one might encounter expressions where "토하다" is used to describe the forceful expulsion of words, emotions, or even light, suggesting a release that is sudden and perhaps involuntary, much like vomiting. This metaphorical extension allows for a richer understanding of the verb's potential when encountering it in advanced texts.
Consider how the intensity implied by "토하다" can differentiate it from more neutral verbs of expelling or releasing, highlighting a more visceral or impactful action. Understanding these subtle differences is key to mastering the full breadth of Korean vocabulary at an advanced level.
§ What Does 토하다 Mean?
The Korean verb 토하다 (pronounced toh-ha-da) literally means 'to vomit' or 'to throw up stomach contents'. It's a direct and common word used to describe the act of expelling food or liquid from the stomach through the mouth. You'll hear and see this word used in everyday conversations, in medical contexts, and in descriptions of various situations where someone feels nauseous and then vomits.
- DEFINITION
- To vomit or throw up stomach contents.
This verb is straightforward. There aren't many hidden meanings or nuances beyond its primary definition. If someone says they '토했어요' (toh-haet-sseo-yo), it means they vomited. If you hear a doctor ask if a patient '토하는지' (toh-ha-neun-ji), they are asking if the patient is vomiting.
§ When Do People Use 토하다?
People use 토하다 in a variety of situations. Here are some common scenarios:
- When someone is sick: This is probably the most frequent use. If someone has the flu, food poisoning, or motion sickness, they might 토하다.
- After drinking too much alcohol: It's common for people to 토하다 if they've consumed an excessive amount of alcohol.
- During pregnancy: Many pregnant individuals experience morning sickness, which can involve 토하는 (vomiting).
- Due to an unpleasant smell or sight: Sometimes, a very strong and offensive smell or a disturbing sight can cause someone to feel nauseous and 토하다.
- In medical contexts: Doctors and nurses will use this term when discussing symptoms with patients or describing a patient's condition.
It's important to understand that while the act itself isn't pleasant, the word 토하다 is a neutral and factual way to describe it. It's not considered rude or overly graphic in typical conversation, although you might use more indirect phrasing depending on the social context and who you are speaking with (e.g., saying '속이 안 좋아서 다 게워냈어요' - My stomach wasn't good so I threw it all up, though 토하다 is still perfectly fine). Think of it as the Korean equivalent of 'to vomit' or 'to throw up'.
§ Examples of 토하다 in Sentences
Let's look at some examples to help you see how 토하다 is used in real sentences.
어제 너무 많이 마셔서 토했어요.
(I drank too much yesterday, so I vomited.)
아이가 감기에 걸려서 계속 토하고 열이 나요.
(The child caught a cold and keeps vomiting and has a fever.)
배멀미 때문에 토할 것 같아요.
(I feel like I'm going to vomit because of seasickness.)
임신 중이라서 아침에 자주 토해요.
(Because I'm pregnant, I often vomit in the morning.)
그는 너무 놀라서 먹었던 것을 다 토했다.
(He was so surprised that he threw up everything he had eaten.)
As you can see, 토하다 is a versatile verb used in many contexts to describe the act of vomiting. Understanding its direct meaning and common usage will greatly help you when encountering it in Korean. Don't be afraid to use it when the situation calls for it; it's the most natural and clear way to express this action.
§ Understanding 토하다
The Korean verb 토하다 (to-ha-da) means 'to vomit' or 'to throw up'. It's a common and practical word to know, especially if you ever need to describe feeling sick or witnessing someone else being sick. It's a straightforward action verb, so its usage in sentences is generally quite clear.
- DEFINITION
- To vomit or throw up stomach contents.
§ Basic Sentence Structure with 토하다
When using 토하다, you'll typically see it used with a subject who is doing the vomiting. The verb itself is pretty direct. Here are some basic examples:
아기가 토했어요. (The baby vomited.)
술을 너무 많이 마셔서 토할 것 같아요. (I drank too much alcohol, so I think I'm going to vomit.)
Notice how 토하다 changes its ending based on the tense and formality. The dictionary form is 토하다, but in everyday conversation, you'll hear forms like 토했어요 (past tense, polite) or 토할 것 같아요 (future/conjecture, polite).
§ Common Phrases and Contexts
You might also see 토하다 used in specific contexts. For example, if someone is describing food poisoning or motion sickness.
음식을 잘못 먹어서 토했어요. (I ate something bad and vomited.)
배가 너무 아파서 토하고 설사했어요. (My stomach hurt so much that I vomited and had diarrhea.)
§ Grammar with 토하다
Since 토하다 is an action verb, it commonly pairs with the subject marker 이/가 (i/ga) or 은/는 (eun/neun) to indicate who is performing the action.
- Subject + 이/가 + 토하다: This is the most direct way to say someone vomited.
그 아이가 토했어요. (That child vomited.)
- Subject + 은/는 + 토하다: This can be used to emphasize the subject or contrast them with others.
저는 멀미 때문에 자주 토해요. (As for me, I often vomit due to motion sickness.)
You won't typically use object markers (을/를) directly with 토하다 to indicate what was vomited in the same way you would with, say, 'eat food'. Instead, you might describe the *reason* for vomiting or *what* was vomited using other sentence structures or context.
그는 저녁 식사를 전부 토했다. (He vomited all of his dinner.)
In this case, '저녁 식사' (dinner) is treated as the direct object of '토하다' to specify what was vomited. This usage is perfectly natural.
§ Related Expressions
While 토하다 is the main verb, it's good to know other words that might come up in similar situations:
- 구토하다 (gu-to-ha-da): This is a more formal or medical term for 'to vomit'. You might see this in news reports or clinical settings.
- 멀미하다 (meol-mi-ha-da): To feel motion sickness. Often leads to 토하다.
- 게워내다 (ge-wo-nae-da): To throw up or disgorge. This has a slightly more intense nuance, often implying expelling something forcefully.
§ 토하다 in Real Life: Where You'll Hear It
Alright, let's talk about where you might actually encounter the word 토하다 (tohada) in everyday Korean. While no one *wants* to vomit, it's a bodily function, and people talk about it, especially when someone is sick or had too much to drink. Understanding this word helps you follow conversations and understand medical contexts.
§ At the Doctor's Office or Hospital
This is probably the most common and practical place you'll hear 토하다. When you or someone you know is unwell, especially with stomach issues, the doctor or nurse will often ask about symptoms. They might ask if you've been vomiting, or they might tell you what to do if you feel like you're going to vomit.
어젯밤에 열이 나고 토했어요. (Eojetbame yeori nago tohaesseoyo.)
- Meaning
- I had a fever and vomited last night.

- Context is key! You'll most frequently hear this in discussions about health, sickness, or overindulgence.

§ Similar words and when to use them
While 토하다 is the most common and direct term for 'to vomit', there are a couple of other phrases or terms you might encounter. Understanding these will help you choose the right word for the situation.
구토하다 (guto-hada): This is a more formal or medical term for 'to vomit'. You'll often see this in news reports, medical documents, or in more formal contexts. It carries a slightly more clinical tone than 토하다.
환자는 심한 복통과 함께 구토했습니다.
The patient vomited with severe abdominal pain.
게워내다 (geweo-naeda): This phrase specifically means 'to bring up food or contents from the stomach' and can sometimes be used in the context of vomiting, especially when referring to bringing something up from the throat or stomach. It has a slightly more descriptive feel than just 'to vomit'. However, 토하다 is still the more common and general term for vomiting.
아기가 먹은 것을 게워냈어요.
The baby brought up what it ate (vomited).
§ When to use 토하다
Stick with 토하다 for everyday conversations and general descriptions of vomiting. It's the most natural and widely understood term. You don't need to worry about being too informal or too formal; it hits the right note for most situations.
If you're reading medical information or something very formal, then 구토하다 might appear. But for speaking, 토하다 is your go-to word.

小贴士
Basic use of 토하다
토하다 (toh-ha-da) is the standard verb for 'to vomit' or 'to throw up' in Korean. It's used in most situations where someone expels stomach contents. Think of it as the direct equivalent of 'to vomit'.
Polite form of 토하다
When speaking politely, you'll conjugate 토하다 to 토해요 (toh-hae-yo) in the present tense. For example, 'I vomited' would be 저는 토했어요 (jeoneun toh-haess-eoyo). Remember to always use polite forms when speaking to elders or strangers in Korea, using -요 endings.
Don't confuse with 뱉다
While 토하다 means to vomit, 뱉다 (baet-da) means 'to spit'. They are different actions. 토하다 implies expelling from the stomach, while 뱉다 is usually from the mouth or lungs, like spitting saliva or phlegm.
Past tense of 토하다
The past tense of 토하다 is 토했다 (toh-haess-da) for informal situations or 토했어요 (toh-haess-eoyo) for polite situations. For instance, 'The baby vomited' could be 아기가 토했어요 (ah-gi-ga toh-haess-eoyo), meaning the baby 'threw up'.
Future tense of 토하다
The future tense is 토할 거예요 (toh-hal geo-yeo) or 토하겠습니다 (toh-ha-gess-seumnida) for more formal situations. 'I think I will vomit' would be 토할 것 같아요 (toh-hal geot gat-ayo), indicating a future possibility of 'vomiting'.
Using with cause
You can often use 토하다 with a reason. For example, 멀미 때문에 토했어요 (meol-mi ttae-mun-e toh-haess-eoyo) means 'I vomited because of motion sickness,' or 'I threw up' due to motion sickness.
Medical context
In a medical context, 토하다 is commonly used to describe the symptom. For instance, 'I vomited all night' would be 밤새도록 토했어요 (bam-sae-do-rok toh-haess-eoyo), referring to a continuous act of 'throwing up'.
Common phrases with 토하다
A common phrase is '구토하다' (gu-to-ha-da), which also means to vomit. It's often used in a slightly more formal or medical context, similar to how 'emesis' might be used in English.
Not for 'spit out' food
If you're just spitting out food you don't like, you wouldn't use 토하다. You'd use 뱉다 (baet-da). 토하다 specifically refers to the involuntary act of 'vomiting'.
Practice with examples
The best way to remember 토하다 is to practice using it in sentences. Try to form sentences like 'I feel like I'm going to vomit' (토할 것 같아요). This helps internalize the meaning of 'to throw up'.
记住它
记忆技巧
Imagine a 'toe' with a 'wad' of something being thrown up. 'Toe-wad' sounds like '토하다' (tohada).
视觉联想
Picture someone bending over, holding their 'toe' and 'wad'ding up their stomach contents as they '토하다' (tohada) into a toilet.

Native Korean
原始含义： To expel from the mouth
Koreanic文化背景
When someone is '토하다' (vomiting), it's common for others to show concern and offer comfort, often asking if they are okay or need help. While not a pleasant topic, the act itself is generally understood and treated with sympathy. In social situations, if someone vomits due to excessive drinking, it might be met with a mix of concern and slight embarrassment for the individual, but less judgment than in some Western cultures, especially within a group of close friends or colleagues.

常见问题
10 个问题You can say '토하고 싶어요.' This literally means 'I want to vomit.' The verb is '토하다' and '-고 싶다' is the common way to express 'want to do something.'
Yes, '토하다' is a standard and polite verb for 'to vomit.' There isn't a more or less polite version for this action, it's just the direct term.
You might hear it in contexts like someone feeling sick from food poisoning (음식 때문에 토했어요 - I vomited because of food), motion sickness (멀미해서 토했어요 - I vomited because of motion sickness), or drinking too much (술을 너무 많이 마셔서 토했어요 - I drank too much alcohol and vomited).
Here are some common conjugations:
- Present formal polite: 토합니다 (toh-hap-ni-da)
- Present informal polite: 토해요 (toh-hae-yo)
- Past informal polite: 토했어요 (toh-haess-eoyo)
- Future informal polite: 토할 거예요 (toh-hal geo-yeo-yo)
'토하다' is the most common and general term for 'to vomit.' '게워내다' is similar but can sometimes imply expelling something from the mouth with more effort or force, like bringing up phlegm. For general 'vomiting,' '토하다' is always appropriate.
Not really. '토하다' specifically refers to expelling stomach contents. If you're talking about spitting out food, you'd use '뱉다' (baet-da). For coughing up phlegm, '가래를 뱉다' (ga-rae-reul baet-da) or '게워내다' might be used.
You can ask '토했어요?' (toh-haess-eoyo?) in a polite, informal way. If you want to be more formal, you'd say '토하셨습니까?' (toh-ha-syeoss-seup-ni-kka?).
Here's an example: '어제 밤에 너무 많이 먹어서 토했어요.' (eo-je bam-e neo-mu man-i meog-eo-seo toh-haess-eoyo.) This means 'I ate too much last night, so I vomited.'
While not a direct idiom, sometimes '피를 토하다' (pi-reul toh-ha-da) which literally means 'to vomit blood,' can be used figuratively to mean putting in extreme effort or hard work, like 'sweating blood.' For example, '피를 토하는 노력' (pi-reul toh-ha-neun no-ryeok) means 'blood-vomiting effort' or 'immense effort.'
The noun form for 'vomiting' or 'vomit' is '구토' (gu-to). So, you might hear '구토 증세가 있어요' (gu-to jeung-sae-ga iss-eoyo) which means 'I have symptoms of vomiting' or 'I feel like vomiting.'

Basic use of 토하다
토하다 (toh-ha-da) is the standard verb for 'to vomit' or 'to throw up' in Korean. It's used in most situations where someone expels stomach contents. Think of it as the direct equivalent of 'to vomit'.
Polite form of 토하다
When speaking politely, you'll conjugate 토하다 to 토해요 (toh-hae-yo) in the present tense. For example, 'I vomited' would be 저는 토했어요 (jeoneun toh-haess-eoyo). Remember to always use polite forms when speaking to elders or strangers in Korea, using -요 endings.
Don't confuse with 뱉다
