TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (6/9/2026) – bucks

정답: A. 돈

How to solve: The sentence states, 'I want to drink coffee. But I don't have (blank).' To buy coffee, one needs money. Therefore, '돈' (money) is the most appropriate word.

A — '돈' means money. This fits the context as you need money to buy coffee.

B — '시간' means time. While one needs time to drink coffee, the lack of time doesn't prevent one from buying it in this context.

C — '친구' means friend. Having or not having a friend is irrelevant to buying coffee.

D — '책' means book. A book is not needed to buy coffee.

정답: C. 비싸요

How to solve: The sentence says, 'This clothing is too (blank). So I can't buy it.' The reason for not being able to buy something is typically because it's too expensive. Therefore, '비싸요' (expensive) is the correct answer.

A — '예뻐요' means pretty. If clothes are pretty, it's usually a reason to buy them, not not buy them.

B — '좋아요' means good. Similar to '예뻐요', if clothes are good, it's a reason to buy them.

C — '비싸요' means expensive. If clothes are too expensive, one cannot buy them. This fits the context.

D — '작아요' means small. While clothing being too small might prevent someone from buying it, '너무 작아요' is less common for the general inability to purchase due to price, which is implied by '못 사요' in the context of general shopping.

정답: D. 계산

How to solve: The sentence states, 'I finished eating. Shall we do (blank) now?' After finishing a meal at a restaurant, the next step is usually to pay. '계산' refers to paying the bill. Therefore, '계산' is the most appropriate choice.

A — '숙제' means homework. This is unrelated to finishing a meal.

B — '운동' means exercise. This is unrelated to finishing a meal.

C — '공부' means study. This is unrelated to finishing a meal.

D — '계산' means calculation or payment. After eating a meal, one pays for it, so '계산' (payment) is correct.

정답: D. 값

How to solve: The question asks, 'What is the (blank) of these shoes?' The phrase '얼마예요?' specifically asks about the amount or price. Therefore, '값' (price) is the correct word to complete the sentence.

A — '이름' means name. Asking 'What is the name?' is possible, but not with '얼마예요?'.

B — '색깔' means color. Asking 'What is the color?' is possible, but not with '얼마예요?'.

C — '모양' means shape/design. Asking 'What is the shape?' is possible, but not with '얼마예요?'.

D — '값' means price. '값은 얼마예요?' is a common way to ask 'What is the price?'.

정답: C. 사고

How to solve: The sentence says, 'I want to (blank) a new mobile phone.' When acquiring a new item, the most common action is to buy it. Therefore, '사고' (from 사다, to buy) is the appropriate verb.

A — '팔고' is from '팔다' (to sell). One usually doesn't want to sell a *new* phone they want to acquire.

B — '보고' is from '보다' (to see/look). While one might want to see a new phone, the primary desire when talking about 'a new phone' is usually to own it.

C — '사고' is from '사다' (to buy). This means 'I want to buy a new mobile phone', which makes perfect sense.

D — '주고' is from '주다' (to give). One usually doesn't want to give a new phone to themselves or an unspecified person in this context.
