What is 학생증?

학생증 is the Korean word for "student ID card." It is an official card issued by educational institutions to verify a person's status as a student. This card is commonly used to access student benefits such as library entry, transportation discounts, and student pricing at various places.

Common Usage

You will often hear or see 학생증 used when discussing identification requirements or discounts. For example, when entering a university library or buying tickets with a student discount, showing your 학생증 is usually mandatory.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 학생증을 보여 주다: to show the student ID
  • 학생증이 없다: to not have a student ID
  • 학생증 발급: issuance of a student ID

These phrases are frequently used in daily conversations related to school life.

Register and Politeness

학생증 is a neutral noun and can be used in both formal and informal contexts. When requesting to see someone's student ID politely, you might say "학생증을 보여 주세요."

Common Mistakes

Learners sometimes confuse 학생증 with 학생 (student). Remember, 학생증 specifically refers to the ID card, not the person. Using 학생증 when you mean "student" can cause confusion.
