सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Books have long been a symbol of status and intellect in Korea. Gifting a book, especially with a handwritten dedication on the first page, is a common way to show deep respect or affection. During graduation seasons, books remain one of the most popular and traditional gifts given to students.

💬

Check the First Page

In Korea, it's a 'secret' tradition to check the first blank page for a handwritten note. If you receive a book, always look there first before you start reading!

⚠️

Don't forget the Giver

If someone much older gives you a book, don't just say '받았어'. Use '주셨어요' (they gave it to me) to sound much more polite and culturally aware.

What It Means

At its core, 책을 받다 is a straightforward way to say you've been given a book. It’s not just about the physical act of holding a new item. It often implies a social exchange. In Korean culture, books are meaningful objects. When you say you 'received' one, you're usually talking about a gift or a necessary resource. It’s a neutral phrase that works in almost any setting.

How To Use It

To use this phrase, you simply need to know who gave it to you. You use the particle ~에게서 or ~한테 for the person giving the book. For example, 친구에게서 책을 받았어 means 'I received a book from a friend.' If you want to be more specific about it being a gift, you can say 선물로 책을 받았어요. The verb 받다 changes based on the tense. Use 받았어요 for the past tense, which is how you'll use it most often.

When To Use It

Use this phrase when you're opening birthday presents. It’s also perfect for when a senior at school hands down their old textbooks to you. You can use it when you finally get that limited edition manga you pre-ordered (if it was sent to you). It even works in a professional setting. If your boss gives you a manual or a report in book form, you 'received' it. It’s a very versatile 'catch-all' phrase for getting literature.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use 책을 받다 if you went to a store and paid for the book yourself. In that case, use 책을 사다 (to buy a book). Also, if you just found a book on a bench, you didn't 'receive' it; you 'found' it (찾다 or 줍다). Avoid using this phrase if you are the one giving the book. That would be 책을 주다. It sounds like a small distinction, but using the wrong direction of the action will definitely confuse your Korean friends!

Cultural Background

In Korea, books are highly respected gifts. They represent knowledge, thoughtfulness, and personal growth. It is very common for the giver to write a short, heartfelt message on the inside cover. This turns a simple book into a cherished memory. When you 'receive' a book in Korea, it's often seen as the giver sharing a piece of their mind or heart with you. It’s much more than just paper and ink; it's a bridge between two people.

Common Variations

If you want to sound a bit more specific, try these. 책을 선물 받다 means 'to receive a book as a gift.' This is the most common way to talk about presents. If you are getting a book back that you lent out, use 책을 돌려받다. If someone higher than you (like a teacher) gives you a book, you might use the more polite 책을 받들다 in very specific historical contexts, but in modern Korean, you just use honorifics like 선생님께 책을 받았습니다 to show respect.

इस्तेमाल की जानकारी

The phrase is neutral and very safe to use. Just remember to use honorifics (like `받았습니다`) when speaking to superiors or elders.

Digital Books Count Too

You can use this phrase for e-books! If someone sends you a PDF or a Kindle gift, you can still say '책을 받았어'.
