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 *cyup-ta, based on a vowel alternation from pre-Middle Korean *cyop-ta (“to pick”) reconstructed from words such as Middle Korean 져봄 (cyepwom, “handful”), 죡졉개 (cyokcyepkay, “tweezers”), and Jeju ᄌᆞᆸ다 (jawpda, “to pick”).

Pronunciation

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

Verb

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

Usage notes

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

• 집어요 ― jib-eoyo ― [he] picks [it] up
