Difference between evidence and explanation in Korean

증거·설명

evidence

증거evidence

Evidence (증거) is proof that helps people believe or check that something is true. You can use this word for school, rules, accidents, or arguments. For example, a photo, a note, or a receipt can be evidence.

explanation

설명explanation

The word "explanation" means words that help you understand something. In Korean, 설명 is used when someone tells the reason, meaning, or way to do something. You can use it at school, at home, or in everyday conversations when you ask for or give more information.

The difference

설명 tells what something means or how it works. It may use proof, but it is not the proof itself.
