"그림을 그리다"

Translation: To draw a picture

[LiKenun]

To draw a drawing ;)

[Jeong-JinL]

Does this sound as poorly worded as it does in English, or even more so, German?
Obvious repetition of word roots in a clause should generally be avoided in a Germanic language. ("The painter paints a painting." vs. "The artist sketches a landscape.")

[SvedishPlumber]

If I'm understanding you right, no, to draw a drawing is fine. I think to draw a picture is fine for this too by the way

[ErikRed1]

It seems that this kind of repetition is par for the course in korean.

We already learned about 줌주다, 꿈꾸다 verbs with their repetition, adjectives like 똑똑하다, and phrases like 하루하루 and 그때 그때

[oee16]

This is a literal translation.
"To draw" (i.e. to create a picture) should be sufficient.
Or, to do a drawing.

[HanneGilly]

To paint a painting is not accepted?

[peter.cecu]

What about paint a painting?

[YunisR]

What does draw a painting mean? It's paint a painting

[KanKanMikan]

how i remember: to cream a cream

[PeterNordq]

"drawing a picture" as a phrase - not a complete sentence, actually means the same thing in English, in spite of Korean concepts of what they might think it means.
