제안 vs 협의 vs 결정: From Suggestion to Final Decision

Real-world examples

• ⭕

  회의에서 새로운 마케팅 전략을 제안했다.

  hoe-ui-e-seo sae-ro-un ma-ke-ting jeon-ryak-eul je-an-haess-da., hoe ui e seo sae ro un ma ke ting jeon ryak eul je an haess da.

  '제안' fits because it is the act of suggesting a new idea initially.

• ⭕

  팀원들과 협의하여 프로젝트 일정을 조정했다.

  tim-won-deul-gwa hyeop-ui-ha-yeo peu-ro-jek-teu il-jeong-eul jo-jeong-haess-da., tim won deul gwa hyeop ui ha yeo peu ro jek teu il jeong eul jo jeong haess da.

  '협의' is correct as it involves coordinating opinions among multiple people.

• ❌

  사장은 오늘 중요한 결정을 제안했다.

  sa-jang-eun o-neul jung-yo-han gyeol-jeong-eul je-an-haess-da., sa jang eun o neul jung yo han gyeol jeong eul je an haess da.

  '결정' means final choice, so '제안' should be used here.

• ⭕

  우리는 예산 문제에 대해 협의를 마치고 결정을 내렸다.

  u-ri-neun ye-san mun-je-e dae-hae hyeop-ui-reul ma-chi-go gyeol-jeong-eul nae-ryeoss-da., u ri neun ye san mun je e dae hae hyeop ui reul ma chi go gyeol jeong eul nae ryeoss da.

  '협의' refers to discussion, '결정' refers to final choice, both used correctly.

• ❌

  그는 새로운 아이디어를 결정했다.

  geu-neun sae-ro-un a-i-di-eo-reul gyeol-jeong-haess-da., geu neun sae ro un a i di eo reul gyeol jeong haess da.

  '결정' is for final choice; suggesting an idea requires '제안'.

• ⭕

  프로젝트 방향에 대해 협의가 필요하다.

  peu-ro-jek-teu bang-hyang-e dae-hae hyeop-ui-ga pil-yo-ha-da., peu ro jek teu bang hyang e dae hae hyeop ui ga pil yo ha da.

  Suitable for situations involving coordination of multiple opinions.

• ⭕

  회의에서 제안한 내용을 모두 결정했다.

  hoe-ui-e-seo je-an-han nae-yong-eul mo-du gyeol-jeong-haess-da., hoe ui e seo je an han nae yong eul mo du gyeol jeong haess da.

  Appropriate to say the initially suggested content was finally decided.

• ❌

  팀장은 결정을 협의했다.

  tim-jang-eun gyeol-jeong-eul hyeop-ui-haess-da., tim jang eun gyeol jeong eul hyeop ui haess da.

  '결정' is an act; '협의' is a process, so '결정을 내렸다' is correct.
