Income in Korean 🇰🇷

수입 info.

Tips to remember:
• Think of 수입 (su-ip) as “money coming in” – the syllable 입 (ip) sounds like “in,” linking it to income.
• Remember that 수 means “to receive” while 입 means “to enter,” so it literally suggests “money that enters your account.”

Explanations:
• 수입 is a Sino-Korean word used to denote income, earnings, or revenue. It is often used in contexts such as personal income or corporate revenue.
• The word is composed of two Chinese characters: 收 (수, su) meaning “to receive” and 入 (입, ip) meaning “to enter.”

Other words with similar meaning:
• 소득 (so-deuk) – also means income or earnings, although 소득 is often used in legal/official contexts, while 수입 can imply revenue in business as well.
• 수익 (su-ik) – while more often referring to profit or gains, it is sometimes used similarly in a business context.

Alternate meanings:
• 수입 can also mean “import” in the context of international trade (e.g., 수입품 means “imported goods”).
• There isn’t a well-known slang meaning for 수입 in everyday usage.

• “내 월 수입은 300만원이다.”
 Romanization: “Nae wol su-ip-eun 300 manwonida.”

• “그 회사의 수입이 매년 증가하고 있다.”
 Romanization: “Geu hoesaui su-ip-i maenyeon jeungga-hago itda.”
