  • Hi!
    Thanks a lot for this list!
    I have downloaded this list but it’s fonts are not understandable. would you like to do tell me how can i curb this problem?

    • 아니다 is used with nouns; 않다 is used with verbs…
      Ex:
      This is not a book. 이것은 책이 아닙니다.
      I don’t eat meat. 저는 고기를 먹지 않습니다.

      • Is there a difference between the 하다 entries of 2 and 5 or the 그러다 entries at 68 and 69? I can’t tell if there are different uses/definitions that lead to the separate entries.

  • 안녕하세요

    Thanks for the list its really helpful …better than fumbling through a dictionary 🙂 and is there another part to this post (another 6000 words?) Just wondering ^_^

  • Thank you for this list. I want to study the hanja also, but it’s a pain to look up every word I suspect is of Chinese origin… Is there a version of this list that also shows the hanja? There was one on ezcorean.com, but that site doesn’t exist anymore. 🙁

  • rất cám on anh đã tao ra 1 trang wed bổ ích như thế này. em mới làm quen với tiếng hàn nên còn rất nhiều điều cần phải tìm hiểu.
    mong anh giúp cho khi em có những khó khăn trong quá trình học
    cảm ơn anh

    • Did you really expect to learn Korean but put not know how too read it? You could probably learn the whole alphabet in a week since it’s pretty easy.

      • It’s the easiest to learn in the world. A whole week is if you are overscheduled and have only 5 minutes avery day. (1h to )an afternoon and you’re done with that part. Took me 55′ in total with a few repetitions, and that’s all I needed to be able to ‘read’ anything since nearly a decade…. no need to even look back on it when you got the essence of the alphabet system in itself….

  • One thing I notice as I look through the words: Without examples, many of these are not really usable. I am thinking of many that I know, and as I think of usage, I think that with the listing and the definitions given here, I would never be able to use those words, nor recognize the meaning when I read them. I can recognize them in the list because I know the usage of he word.

    Has anybody produced this list with usages?

    • I’ve been working on such a project to publish, have halted for a moment, and resumed to currently a compilation of such lists with many options on how to learn, use and articulate them progressively to “fluency” at different levels…. but I’m not quite there yet. I have seen such comments numerously, as did I think to myself as well, which was the reason to target that challenge. And a challenge it is…. but there are many free, near-free, with ease of access to, a variety of these more comprehensive lists and listings (annotated, described, explained, from root, for strictly simple and common use, as well…, etc.)

    • You really don’t want to study using romanisation. It is a bad habit almost and makes learning to read Hangul harder. It is better to memorize the Hangul very very well first. Look at the Hangul while listening and pronouncing the sound. It is very hard to properly write romanisation for Hangul and I find most of the time, Hangul sounds different slightly from the romanized text so it is hard to read the roman text. 🙂

  • On lines 68 and 69 the word is repeated:

    68

    그러다

    and so, and then, well

    69

    그러다

    and so, and then, well

    That was the only error I happened to see.

  • Seems like a non-Korean wrote the definitions. There are so many that are wrong, and it got so bad that I had to remove all the definitions and look up the words myself in the dictionary. This is doing more harm than good

  • I think there’s a mistake – 남자 is not a boy but a man/male. Boy would be 남자 아이. Also, some words appear more than once, sometimes with different definitions, sometimes not – I would suggest clumping them together.

    • That is kinda confusing 남자 아이 seems fore like a male child/baby whereas 소년 could be more appropriate, I think. Of course I might be mistaken, I bear in mind, meanwhile, that I’ve heard 소년 in every context and situation involving ‘boy’ (남자 could eventually be more common, and commonly used by “older boys”, especially when there has been a blurred line by the age a boy is or has been a boyfriend at some point “남자친구 / 남친”, a very typical, may I assume, change in attitude through puberty in quite a global way.) 남자 아이 does really sound quite off/odd, for some reason…
