Study Notes

Passive Voice in Korean

  • Passive voice emphasizes the recipient of an action, instead of the actor.
  • Active voice describes actions performed by a subject.
  • Passive expressions show the opposite, the action is done by others or a force beyond the subject, and the subject becomes the receiver of the action (affected).
  • The opposite of passive is active

Active to Passive

  • Active voice changes the focus to the object of the action.
  • The object becomes the subject in passive voice.
  • The actor/doer is usually included, but not always required as part of the passive voice structure.

Passive Marker (-이/히/리/-기) usage

  • Used when the object of an active sentence becomes the subject in a passive sentence.
  • Used with the verb stem
  • Forms passive verb endings

Passive Marker (-아/어/여지다) usage

  • Used with the verb stem

Passive examples

  • There are different verb endings for passive voice: -(이/히/리/기) and -아/어/여지다.
  • One ending is not necessarily better or more frequent than the other.
  • The appropriate ending of the verb is determined by context from native speakers.
  • Note that sometimes active and passive voicing are more interchangeable.

Passive Voice and Sentences Describing Situations

  • Sometimes a situation may take a passive structure.
  • Even though a sentence might convey a situation, the structure may employ passive elements still to describe that situation.
