Questions & Answers about baesong gisaga gyeongbisire mulgeoneul matgyeossseupnida.
What does 배송 기사 mean exactly? Is 기사 always driver?
In this sentence, 배송 기사 means delivery driver or delivery worker.
The word 기사 has several meanings in Korean depending on context, such as:
- driver/chauffeur
- technician/engineer in some job titles
- article/news story
- historically, even knight
Here, because it follows 배송 (delivery/shipping), 기사 clearly means a person whose job is making deliveries.
So:
- 배송 기사 = delivery driver
- 기사 by itself does not always mean driver
Why is there a space in 배송 기사?
Korean often writes many noun combinations with a space, especially when they are still felt as separate words rather than one fully fixed compound.
So:
- 배송 = delivery
- 기사 = driver/worker
Together, 배송 기사 means delivery driver.
In real life, spacing in Korean can sometimes vary more than English learners expect, and native speakers are not always perfectly consistent. But 배송 기사 with a space is normal.
