Let’s turn it into a new chance to learn Korean and make one step forward for you! Today we’re going to learn I’m stressed out in Korean.

How To Say I’m Stressed Out in Korean
스트레스 받아요
[stress badayo]
I’m stressed out
Basic form : 스트레스 받다
반말(informal non-honorific) form : 스트레스 받아
Negative form with 해요 speech style : 스트레스 안받아요
Koreans also use the English word stress. The pronounciation is slightly different but it’s really okay to pronounce it in English. 받다 means ‘receive’, ‘take’, ‘accept’ or ‘get’. So what 스트레스 받다 means is ‘get some stress’.
I don’t think there is another way to say ‘to be stressed’ in Korean. Native Koreans always use the word ‘stress’. You can see ‘스트레스’ as a meaning of ‘stress’ lol when you look up ‘stress’ in a dictionary.
Stress in Korean
You must know 스트레스 in Korean doesn’t mean any physical stress unlike ‘stress’ in English. 스트레스 is used only for mental stress like stress from worries or work. Beside that difference. Stress in Korean is very similar to Stress in English.
How To Use
A: 무슨 일 있어요?
What’s wrong?
B: 시험 때문에 스트레스 받아요
I’m stressed out because of the exam
A: 준씨 스트레스 주지마세요
Don’t stress him out
B: 준씨한테 무슨 일 있었어요?
What’s wrong with him?
A: 스트레스 받아서 머리를 밀었어요

Stress Someone
‘Get stressed’ was ‘스트레스 받다(receive stress)’ in Korean, then can you guess what’s ‘stress someone’? Yes. You must use a verb ‘주다’ which means give in Korean. Or you can use ‘받게하다’ which means ‘make someone to receive’ in Korean.
스트레스 주다
Stress (someone) out
Comforting in Korean
Native Koreans often say ‘너무 스트레스 받지마’ to comfort others. It literally means ‘don’t get stressed out’ but it actually means ‘take it easy’ or ‘forget about it’. To be honest, Korean language doesn’t have many expressions to comfort someone lol.
너무 스트레스 받지마세요
Don’t get stressed too much
Take it easy

DISCOUNT
DON'T MISS THE SPECIAL OFFERThis 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.

I didn’t make it possible alone. A lot of people helped me and encouraged me and, of course, support me. I really appreciate my supporters, Team Junicorns. If my tutorials are helpful or if you want to share the same dream, join the Team Junicorns and support me to keep going.
