"해변"

Translation: Beach

[CF00l]

海邊

[LiKenun]

Literally: sea side

[ShanthiniR7]

But isn't "해수욕장" beach? Are 해수욕장 and 해변 the same? Can anyone explain please? 검사합니다! :)

[ammaaya]

They're both Sino-Korean words (they come Chinese characters)

해변 literally means "sea side"
해수욕장 literally means "sea water bathing place"

So 해변 describes any seaside, but 해수욕장 describes a beach used for recreation and fun by the people. All 해수욕장 are 해변, but not all 해변 are 해수욕장.

해 means sea.

Really? I only knew it can mean sun or year
