Tips to remember:
• Notice that “질병” is composed of two syllables: “질” (jil) and “병” (byeong). You can associate “byeong” with “sickness” (it appears in many Korean words related to illness), and “질” can be thought of as a prefix that, when combined, forms the idea of a disease.
• Remember that “병” is often used by itself to mean “sickness,” so “질병” emphasizes the notion of a specific disease or a more formal term for illness.

Explanations:
• “질병” (jilbyeong) is a Sino-Korean word meaning “disease.” It is used in medical or formal contexts to refer to illnesses, especially chronic or significant conditions.
• The term is typically used in formal writing and speech about health and medicine.

• “병” (byeong) – a more general term for “sickness” or “illness.”
• “질환” (jilhwan) – another term referring to a disorder or disease, often used interchangeably with “질병” in medical contexts.
