character story:

The character 心 is actually an abstraction of an anatomical drawing of a heart!

Study vocab here!

Vocab + explanations:

心, or heart-mind, is a very common character that is also used as a 부수 or radical, a basic character with meaning. It has an alternative form that looks like 忄.

心 is a hugely important concept that represents both the heart and mind. Unlike in Western thought, where the two are separated clearly, early writings from China stress the relation of the emotions and thoughts. Unsurprisingly, many of the words related to 心 are centered around emotion! It is also used to reference the idea of centrality, as in the three below.

中心地[중심지]{hub}———- we learned this one before with 中!

心房[심방]{atrium}—————————— heart x room

點心[점심]{lunch}——————————-point x heart

More commonly, we see reference to emotions, as in these three:

心情[심정]{one’s heart, feelings}——————heart x feeling

心理[심리]{mental state}———— heart x internal logic/essence

心理學[심리학]{psychology}————— mental state x study

The following are all feelings or mental states which can also be used with verbs. Please take note of the verb that should be used in conjunction and note that there are also other possibilities~ (I tried to give the most commonly found helper verb):

+하다

安心[안심]{ease}{be at ease}——————— peace x heart

決心[결심] {determination}{to decide}————- decide x heart

操心[조심]{caution}{to be careful}————— to steer x heart

(無)關心[(무)관심] {(no)interest}{to be (dis)interested}– (no) x concern x heart

疑心[의심]{doubt}{to doubt}——————- to doubt x heart

+이다

熱心[열심]{enthusiasm}{to be enthusiastic}———– heat x heart

眞心[진심]{sincerity}{to be sincere}—————– true x heart

+있다/없다

同情心[동정심]{sympathy}{to be sympathetic} same x feeling x heart

良心[양심]{conscience}{to be conscientious}——— good x heart

野心[야심]{ambition}{to be ambitious}———-open space x heart

自負心[자부심]{self-confidence}{to be confident}– oneself x to bear x heart

自尊心[자존심]{self-respect/pride}{to be proud}– oneself x to honor x heart

慾心[욕심]{greed}{to be greedy}{to be greedy} —— desire x heart

+생기다

好奇心[호기심]{curiosity}{to become curious}— good x unusual x heart

+품다

二心[이심]{duplicity}{to be two-faced}—————————– two x heart
