Understanding '복습'
'복습' means 'review' or 'revision' in Korean, referring to the act of going over previously learned material again. It is a common term used in educational contexts, especially by students preparing for exams or trying to reinforce their learning.
Usage and Context
This noun is often used with verbs like 하다 (to do), indicating the action of reviewing. For example, '복습을 하다' means 'to review.' It is typically used in formal and informal settings related to study or learning.
Common Collocations

- 복습 노트: review notes
- 복습 문제: review questions
These collocations help learners talk about the process and tools of reviewing effectively.
Tips for Learners
When using '복습,' remember it specifically refers to reviewing material already studied, not learning new content. Avoid confusing it with '예습' (preview or preparation before learning). Also, '복습' is a noun, so it needs a verb like '하다' to form a complete action phrase.
Common Mistake
A frequent mistake is to say '복습하다' as one word. While understandable, the correct form is '복습을 하다' because '복습' is a noun and '하다' is the verb. This distinction helps maintain grammatical accuracy.
