TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (10/12/2026) – josue de paula

정답: A. 학생

How to solve: The sentence states 'Josue de Paula is a ______'. You need a noun that describes a person's status or occupation. '학생' (student) is a common and appropriate TOPIK I vocabulary word to complete the sentence.

A — 학생 (haksaeng) means 'student'. This fits the sentence 'Josue de Paula is a student.'

B — 의사 (uisa) means 'doctor'. While a profession, it is not the most general or primary fit without further context.

C — 선생님 (seonsaengnim) means 'teacher'. Similar to 'doctor', it's a profession but less likely to be the intended answer for a general vocabulary question.

D — 요리사 (yorisa) means 'chef'. This is also a profession but does not fit as generally as 'student'.

정답: A. 좋아합니다

How to solve: The sentence is about 'Josue de Paula' and 'coffee'. You need a verb that expresses a common action or feeling towards coffee. '좋아합니다' (likes) is a very common and natural expression.

A — 좋아합니다 (joahapnida) means 'likes'. This is a common and natural expression to use with 'coffee'.

B — 싫어합니다 (sirheohapnida) means 'dislikes'. While grammatically possible, 'likes' is more neutral without further context.

C — 줍니다 (jupnida) means 'gives'. 'Josue de Paula gives coffee' is possible but less direct for a vocabulary test without more context.

D — 받습니다 (batseupnida) means 'receives'. 'Josue de Paula receives coffee' is also possible, but 'likes' is a more fundamental verb for expressing a relationship to an object like coffee.

정답: B. 갑니다

How to solve: The sentence includes '학교에' (to school). You need a verb of movement that fits with 'to school'. '갑니다' (goes) is the most common and appropriate verb here.

A — 옵니다 (opnida) means 'comes'. 'Josue de Paula comes to school' is possible depending on the speaker's perspective, but 'goes' is often the default when the subject is moving towards a place.

B — 갑니다 (gapnida) means 'goes'. This is the most natural verb for 'going to school'.

C — 만납니다 (mannapnida) means 'meets'. 'Josue de Paula meets to school' does not make grammatical sense.

D — 앉습니다 (anjeupnida) means 'sits'. 'Josue de Paula sits to school' also does not make grammatical sense in this context.

정답: B. 읽습니다

How to solve: The sentence is about 'Josue de Paula' and '책을' (a book, object marker). You need a verb that describes an action typically done with a book. '읽습니다' (reads) is the most appropriate verb.

A — 씁니다 (sseupnida) can mean 'writes' or 'uses'. If 'writes', 'Josue de Paula writes a book' is possible, but 'reads' is more common for a general sentence.

B — 읽습니다 (ikseupnida) means 'reads'. This is the most common action associated with a book.

C — 듣습니다 (deupseupnida) means 'listens'. 'Josue de Paula listens to a book' is unusual unless it's an audiobook, but 'reads' is the primary action.

D — 줍니다 (jupnida) means 'gives'. 'Josue de Paula gives a book' is possible, but 'reads' is a more direct interaction with the book itself.

정답: B. 있습니다

How to solve: The sentence uses the subject 'Josue de Paula' and the object '가방이' (a bag, with the subject particle used for 'to have/not to have'). You need a verb or adjective that expresses possession or existence. '있습니다' (has/there is) is the correct choice.

A — 없습니다 (eopseupnida) means 'does not have' or 'there is not'. It is the opposite of having something.

B — 있습니다 (isseupnida) means 'has' or 'there is'. This fits the common phrase 'X가/이 있습니다' meaning 'X has / there is X'.

C — 큽니다 (keupnida) means 'is big'. This is an adjective and describes the bag, not its existence relative to Josue de Paula.

D — 작습니다 (jakseupnida) means 'is small'. Similar to 'is big', this is an adjective describing the bag, not its possession.
