Prepare in Korean 🇰🇷

준비되다 info.

Tips to remember:
• Notice that 준비 (jun-bi) sounds like “June, be…” and then add ~되다 (dwe-da) which means “to become” or “to be.” Imagining “becoming ready” helps recall that 준비되다 means “to be prepared” or “to be ready.”
• Recognize the noun 준비 means “preparation” and when combined with 되다 it indicates the state of being ready.

Explanation:
• 준비되다 is used to indicate that something has reached a state of being prepared or ready.
• It is the passive form, often used interchangeably with the expression “준비가 되다” which emphasizes that the necessary arrangements are in place.
• This word emphasizes the process of becoming ready rather than the action of actively preparing (which would be 준비하다).

Other words with similar meaning:
• 마련되다 (ma-ryeon-doe-da) – means “to be arranged” or “to be provided.”
