TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (8/28/2026) – adam massman alma center qb

정답: A. 매일

How to solve: The sentence '저는 ______ 한국어를 공부합니다.' requires an adverb of frequency or time to complete the meaning 'I study Korean ______.' Among the choices, '매일' (every day) is the most suitable adverb to indicate regular studying.

A — 매일 (maeil) means 'every day'. This fits perfectly, indicating a regular action.

B — 내일 (naeil) means 'tomorrow'. This would mean 'I study Korean tomorrow', which is grammatically possible but less natural for a general statement about studying.

C — 지금 (jigeum) means 'now'. This would mean 'I study Korean now', implying an immediate action, not a regular habit.

D — 어제 (eoje) means 'yesterday'. This is a past tense adverb, but the verb '공부합니다' is present/future tense, making it grammatically incorrect in this context.

정답: B. 도서관

How to solve: The sentence describes a place where one reads books. Among the given options, '도서관' (library) is specifically designed for reading books.

A — 학교 (hakgyo) means 'school'. While you read books at school, '도서관' is a more direct and specific answer for 'a place where you read books'.

B — 도서관 (doseogwan) means 'library'. This is the most appropriate place for reading books.

C — 병원 (byeongwon) means 'hospital'. This is a place for medical treatment, not primarily for reading.

D — 시장 (sijang) means 'market'. This is a place for buying and selling goods, not for reading books.

정답: A. 운동

How to solve: The sentence '저는 주말에 친구와 ______ 을/를 합니다.' describes an activity done with a friend on the weekend. '운동' (exercise/sport) is a common activity one does with friends. '음식', '숙제', '날씨' are nouns that don't fit well with '을/를 합니다' to mean 'doing' them *with* a friend as an activity in the same way '운동' does.

A — 운동 (undong) means 'exercise' or 'sport'. '운동을 하다' means 'to exercise' or 'to play a sport', which is a very common activity to do with friends.

B — 음식 (eumsik) means 'food'. You eat food, not 'do food' with a friend in this context.

C — 숙제 (sukje) means 'homework'. While you might do homework *with* a friend, '운동' is a more general and common 'activity' to do with friends on the weekend.

D — 날씨 (nalssi) means 'weather'. This is a noun referring to atmospheric conditions and doesn't fit as an activity to 'do' with a friend.

정답: A. 친절한

How to solve: The sentence describes a mother, implying a characteristic. '친절한' (kind) is a suitable adjective to describe a person's personality. The other options describe physical attributes or conditions that are less likely to be the primary description of a mother's character in this context.

A — 친절한 (chinjeolhan) means 'kind' or 'friendly'. This is a very appropriate adjective to describe a mother's personality.

B — 큰 (keun) means 'big' or 'tall'. While a person can be big, it's less about their character.

C — 비싼 (bissan) means 'expensive'. This adjective is used for objects, not people.

D — 더운 (deoun) means 'hot'. This adjective is for weather or temperature, not typically for describing a person's general character.

정답: A. 마십

How to solve: The sentence '저는 아침에 항상 커피를 ______ 니다.' describes an action performed with '커피' (coffee). The correct verb for consuming a beverage like coffee is '마시다' (to drink). Therefore, '마십' is the correct stem to complete the verb.

A — 마십 (masip) is the stem of '마시다' (to drink). '커피를 마십니다' means 'drink coffee', which is correct.

B — 읽 (ilk) is the stem of '읽다' (to read). You read books, not coffee.

C — 먹 (meok) is the stem of '먹다' (to eat). While '먹다' can sometimes be used for soup or liquid foods, '마시다' is more specific and natural for coffee.

D — 듣 (deut) is the stem of '듣다' (to listen). You listen to music or sounds, not coffee.
