How To Say It’s Hard in Korean
어려워요
[eoryeo-woyo]
It’s hard
Basic form : 어렵다
Informal non-honorific(반말) form : 어려워
Negative form : 안어려워요
It’s hard in Korean is 어렵다. To be honest, 어렵다 is really not related to 쉽다(it’s easy) lol. I just said it to help you memorizing one more Korean word lol
어렵다 is almost same to ‘it’s hard’ in English except it means only ‘it’s difficult’. It doesn’t have any other meaning such as ‘firm’. you will have so many chances to say this phrase since learning a language isn’t really easy but I know you can do it. You will be so good at Korean someday soon. Korean language doesn’t have 2 words to say ‘it’s hard / difficult’.
What About It’s Difficult?
Maybe you can make this question, then how do you say ‘It’s difficult’ in Korean? Well, that’s a great question and my answer is it’s ‘어렵다’. I mean, Korean language has only one verb for being hard or being difficult. So, you need to learn only 어렵다 to say it’s difficult or it’s hard Korean.

This Course Was $15
$15, maybe it’s nothing that you can earn after a couple of hours of labor. Or, maybe you have to work for full days to earn it only because of where you were born. And $15, It’s the average price of Korean textbooks. Life is unfair. But that’s why we can help each other, we are helping each other.
