Noun

과 • (gwa) (hanja 科)

  1. academic department (in universities)
    걔는 무슨 과야? ― gyae-neun museun gwa-ya? ― What department is he in?
    물리학과 ― mullihak-gwa ― department of physics

  3. (historical, archaic) synonym of 과거(科擧) (gwageo, “civil service examination”)

Usage notes
  • When used in compounds, it is almost always pronounced as 꽈 (kkwa) due to the interfix -ㅅ- (-s-). The interfix is not written in fully Sino-Korean compounds, but is written when the first element is a native word, as in the example of 사다샛과 (sadasaetgwa) above.
  • When used in isolation, it is pronounced as 과 (gwa) in formal language and 꽈 (kkwa) colloquially.
