"Cheese, eggs, fish"

Translation: 치즈, 달걀, 생선

[DustinStei1]

계란 aka chicken eggs can also be used for the word eggs. Other eggs, such as quail or goose, should be specified.

[Joe544514]

Yeah, specifications would be really nice.

[Extracoole]

Are you sure? Quail eggs translate to 꿩알. Im pretty sure 알 is used for eggs.

[PALewis88]

When would you use 생선 and 물고기? Is 생선 the meat of the fish?

[rowill88]

Yes. 생선 is when you are talking about the fish as food. 물고기 is when you are talking about it as a living creature (which seems counter-intuative, since 물고기 means water meat). Similar to beef/cow or pork/pig.

[WonderDusk]

생선 is what you use to refer to a fish that is caught with the intention to be eaten, and 물고기 is any kind of fish, or like a pet fish

[CandyTurtle]

Thank you that helps. Cause i got so confused

[PortalWalker]

Yes! 생선 is cooked or dead fish, 물고기 is for living fish.

[oee16]

There is nothing to do with the fish being dead or alive.

죽은 물고기 - 'dead fish' is used to refer to those fish that go 'bellied up' in the water.

Yet, those live fish in the market place are called,
신선한 생선, fresh fish.

It's a matter of perception. If the fish are considered for consumption, 생선. Otherwise, 물고기.

[universeeee]

생선 is translate to 'Seafood' actually and 물고기 kinda translate to Meat Inside Water which is also like fishes and others seafood . ..

[Extracoole]

생선is the food, while 물고기is the living version.

[AricAdam]

When do i use계란 and when do i use 달걀?

[Gray_Roze]

Either one is always fine, they are synonyms. 계란 is Sino Korean and 달걀 is Native Korean.

[Lilli848718]

Yum

[Alison464850]

계란을 should have been accepted. Why wasn't it?

[oee16]

Remove the object marker 을. 계란 should be fine.

[Javvszx]

What's the difference between 생선 and 물고기?

[oee16]

물고기 = fish (in general)

생선 = fish (as food)
