LEVEL 5 LESSON 13 - WORD BUILDER 7

Word Builder lessons are designed to help you understand how to expand your vocabulary by
learning/understanding some common and basic building blocks of Korean words. The words
and letters that will be introduced through Word Builder lessons are not necessarily all Chinese
characters, or 한자 [han-ja]. Though many of them are based on Chinese characters, the mean-
ings can be different from modern-day Chinese. Your goal, through these lessons, is to under-
stand how words are formed and remember the keywords in Korean to expand your Korean
vocabulary from there. You certainly don’t have to memorize the Hanja characters, but if you
want to, feel free!

Today’s keyword is 회 .

These Chinese character for this is 會.

The word 회 is related to “to gather” or “gathering”.

회 (to gather) + 사 (to gather) = 회사 會社 [hoe-sa] = company

회 (to gather) + 의 (to discuss) = 회의 會議 [hoe-ui] = meeting

회의 (meeting) + 실 (house, residence) = 회의실 會議室 [hoe-ui-sil] = meeting
