Korean Vocabulary Explained 009 넘어서다 vs 지나치다: 한국어 속 두 가지 ‘넘음’의 표현 Go BEYOND or Go TOO FAR? The Two Ways Koreans Say “Beyond the Limit”

Have you ever tried so hard to push beyond your limits…

초(超) and 과(過).

Both mean “to go beyond,”

The other feels like a gentle warning— when something has gone just a bit too far.

Today, through everyday words, we’ll explore how these two characters are used in Korean.
