집다 vs 줍다 – “To Pick Up” | Korean FAQ
Two common words for “to pick up” are the verbs 집다 and 줍다. Both of them mean “to pick up,” and both of them are equally as common. So you’ll need to learn how to use and conjugate both of them.
I’ll talk about what each means, and when you’ll want to use both of them in this week’s episode of “Korean FAQ.” This series is where I answer common Korean questions, or small tips for Korean that you might not find anywhere else.
hello,
one question:
what to use if i want to say:
i pick up my laptop from the repair shop. which one to use then?
That’s not physically “picking up” from somewhere. That’s simply “getting” something. You can use 찾다 meaning “to find/look for” (찾아가다, 찾아오다) for that.
