What's a natural way to say that someone works somewhere (for a job)?












5















Normally I would use 일 하다 to express that I (or someone else) works somewhere - e.g. 나는 출판사에서 일한다. But I wonder if this is a bit 'childish', or if it focuses on the action of working rather than the state/status of having a particular job.



What are natural ways to make statements like "I work in a publishing company", "I work from home", "I work for Samsung" ?

    The present tense and present progressive tense are good to express “states.” Just like English.

To me, at talking a job, childish is natural.



I work in a publishing company



출판사에서 일합니다.



I am in a publishing company 출판사에 있어요



I go to a publishing company 출판사 다녀요



If we have a particular job, for instance lawyer. It has a character as like a free
lancer, then we can express the state easily. But, as like office man, if he is in an organization,
then we do not know well about a ranking or a position. Hence usually, we say one in the above three
and give a business card.

You already know the most natural way to say that.



"나는 출판사에서 일한다" sounds perfectly normal in a neutral context. "일하다" conveys both meanings of (1) the action of working ("오늘은 대충 일했다." I didn't work hard today.) and (2) having the status of a particular job.



"I work from home" would be "나는 집에서 일한다" and "I work for Samsung" "나는 삼성에서 일한다."



Some more examples from the Korea University Korean Language Dictionary:



(1) To mean the action of working,



그는 아내를 잃고 나서 두 아들을 잘 키워 내기 위해 부지런히 일했다.



He worked hard to raise his two sons after losing his wife.



(2) To mean the status of having a particular job position,



나는 중년이 되면 사회봉사 기관에서 일할 생각이다.



I'm thinking of working for a social service organization in my middle years.

    For that, you can also use 근무하다 instead of 일하다. Although it may not be as natural as 일하다 would sound, it's always a good way to go for formal statements.





    출판사에서 근무하였다. 근무하고 있다.






    출판사에서 근무한 경력이 있다.






    재택근무하다.






    ㅇㅇ(회사)에서 ㅇㅇ(직책/직무)(으)로 근무하였다.

Foto: Axel Lindahl Bunad frå Eggedal i Buskerud fotografert i 1906. Bunad (frå kledebunad , der norrønt «búnaðr» har same rot som (føre)bu) er ei samnemning brukt om klesdrakter i tradisjonell nordisk stil — ofte utvikla frå folkedrakter, men likevel i ein eigen tradisjon. Ein bunad er typisk ei forseggjort og kostbar drakt, med mykje broderi, og med handsmidde smykke i gull eller sølv, særleg dei særeigne søljene, som obligatorisk prynad i tillegg. Bunad og bunadbruk er eit debattemne med mange ulike oppfatningar, til dømes om kva som er ein bunad, og om ein kan endra på utforminga av draktene eller ikkje. Den norske bunadrørsla går tilbake til folkedansrørsla og føregangsfolk som Hulda Garborg og Klara Semb. I dag blir bunad brukt som nasjonaldrakt.
