복사하다 vs 붙여넣다: Basics of Computer Operations

Real-world examples

• ⭕

  파일을 복사하다가 컴퓨터가 멈췄어요.

  pa-il-eul bok-sa-ha-da-ga keom-pyu-teo-ga meom-chwoss-eo-yo., pa il eul bok sa ha da ga keom pyu teo ga meom chwoss eo yo.

  '복사하다' correctly describes duplicating the original file.

• ⭕

  파일을 붙여넣다가 컴퓨터가 멈췄어요.

  pa-il-eul but-yeo-neoh-da-ga keom-pyu-teo-ga meom-chwoss-eo-yo., pa il eul but yeo neoh da ga keom pyu teo ga meom chwoss eo yo.

  '붙여넣다' correctly describes pasting the copied file into another location.

• ❌

  문서를 붙여넣다.

  mun-seo-reul but-yeo-neoh-da., mun seo reul but yeo neoh da.

  For duplicating the original document, use '복사하다'. '붙여넣다' is only for inserting copied content.

• ⭕

  텍스트를 복사한 다음 붙여넣으세요.

  tek-seu-teu-reul bok-sa-han da-eum but-yeo-neoh-eu-se-yo., tek seu teu reul bok sa han da eum but yeo neoh eu se yo.

  Correctly describes the sequence: copy text, then paste it.

• ❌

  복사하지 않고 바로 붙여넣다.

  bok-sa-ha-ji an-go ba-ro but-yeo-neoh-da., bok sa ha ji an go ba ro but yeo neoh da.

  '붙여넣다' requires prior copying; cannot paste without copying first.

• ⭕

  이미지를 복사해서 다른 폴더에 붙여넣었다.

  i-mi-ji-reul bok-sa-hae-seo da-reun pol-deo-e but-yeo-neoh-eoss-da., i mi ji reul bok sa hae seo da reun pol deo e but yeo neoh eoss da.

  Correctly describes copying an image and pasting it into another folder.

• ❌

  복사하다가 붙여넣다를 생략해도 된다.

  bok-sa-ha-da-ga but-yeo-neoh-da-reul saeng-ryak-hae-do doen-da., bok sa ha da ga but yeo neoh da reul saeng ryak hae do doen da.

  Copying and pasting are distinct steps; you cannot omit pasting after copying.

• ⭕

  텍스트를 복사해서 이메일에 붙여넣었어요.

  tek-seu-teu-reul bok-sa-hae-seo i-me-il-e but-yeo-neoh-eoss-eo-yo., tek seu teu reul bok sa hae seo i me il e but yeo neoh eoss eo yo.
