Meaning and Usage

"컨디션" is a loanword from English "condition," commonly used in Korean to refer to one's physical or mental state, especially health or fitness. It is often used in casual and formal contexts to describe how well someone feels or performs.

Common Contexts

You will frequently hear "컨디션" when talking about health, sports, work performance, or mood. For example, people might say "컨디션이 좋다" (to be in good condition) or "컨디션이 안 좋다" (to be in bad condition).

Collocations and Patterns

  • 컨디션이 좋다: to be in good condition; used to express feeling well or being fit.
  • 컨디션이 안 좋다: to be in bad condition; used when feeling unwell or tired.
  • 컨디션 관리: condition management; refers to taking care of one's health or state.

Register and Nuance

"컨디션" is neutral and widely used in spoken and written Korean. It is more casual than the native Korean word "상태" but is very common in everyday conversation.

Common Mistakes

Learners sometimes confuse "컨디션" with "기분" (mood). While related, "컨디션" focuses more on physical or overall state, whereas "기분" is about emotional feelings. Use "컨디션" when referring to health or physical readiness.
