집다

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Nammyeongjip eonhae (南明集諺解 / 남명집언해), 1482, as Middle Korean 집다 (Yale: cipta).

Possibly from earlier *cyupta, based on a vowel alternation from pre-Middle Korean *cyopta (“to pick”) reconstructed from words such as Middle Korean 져봄 (cyepwom, “handful”), 죡졉개 (cywokcyepkay, “tweezers”), and Jeju ᄌᆞᆸ다 (jawpda, “to pick”).^[1]

Pronunciation

(SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [t͡ɕip̚t͈a̠]
Phonetic hangul: [집따]

Verb

집다 • (jipda) (infinitive 집어, sequential 집으니)

to pick up

Usage notes

Unlike most Korean verbs whose stems end in ㅂ (b), (jipda) does not undergo the stem change ㅂ (b) -> 우 (u) before a vowel:

집어요 ― jib-eoyo ― [he] picks [it] up
