Word Builder lessons are designed to help you understand how to expand your vocabulary by learning/understanding some common and basic building blocks of Korean words. The words and letters introduced through Word Builder lessons are not necessarily all Chinese characters, or 한자, though many of them are based on Chinese characters, the meanings can be different from modern-day Chinese. Your goal, through these lessons, is to understand how words are formed and remember the keywords in Korean to expand your Korean vocabulary from there. You certainly don’t have to memorize the Hanja characters, but if you want to, feel free! Today’s keyword is 신. The Chinese character for this is 新. There are many other Chinese characters (or Hanja letters) that are used for 신, so keep in mind that not all the words that have 신 in them have related meanings. The word 신 (新) is related to “new”. 신제품 = 신 (new) + 제 (make) + 품 (item) = 新製品 = new product 신기록 = 신 (new) + 기록 (record) =新記錄 = new record 신학기 = 신 (new) + 학 (learn, school) + 기 (period) = 新學期 = new semester 신인 = 신 (new) + 인 (person) = 新人 = rookie 신작 = 신 (new) + 작 (make) = 新作 = new movie/book/musical/etc 신혼 = 신 (new) +혼 (marriage) = 新婚 = newly wed, the first few years of married life 갱신 = 갱 (alter) + 신 (new) = 更新 = modification 경신 = 경 (alter) + 신 (new) = 更新 = breaking the record 혁신 = 혁 (alter) + 신 (new) = 革新 = innovation 신세대 = 신 (new) + 세대 (generation) = 新世代 = new generation 신세계 = 신 (new) + 세계 (world) = 新世界= new world 신입 = 신 (new) + 입 (enter) = 新入 = new employee 신입 사원 = 신 (new) + 입 (enter) + 사 (company) + 원 (member) = 新入 社員 = new employee 신입생 = 신 (new) + 입 (enter) + 생 (student) = 新入生 = freshman student 신병 = 신 (new) + 병 (soldier) = 新兵 = rookie soldier 신간 = 신 (new) + 간 (publish) = 新刊 = new publication 신간 서적 = 신 (new) + 간 (publish) + 서 (book) + 적 (document) = 新刊 書籍 newly published book
