How to say “I've finished ...” in Korean

Say that a task or piece of work is complete.

… 끝냈어요.... kkeunnaesseoyo.

I've finished …

Name the completed item and add a next step if useful.

Use it in three situations

  1. A work update

    초안을 완성했어요.choaneul wanseonghaesseoyo.

    I've finished the first draft.

  2. Reporting a completed section

    보고서를 완성했어요.bogoseoreul wanseonghaesseoyo.

    I've finished the report.

  3. Confirming a delivery

    세부 사항을 다 확인했어요.sebu sahangeul da hwaginhaesseoyo.

What to watch for

Finishing one task does not necessarily mean the whole project is complete.

Read the whole expression before replacing a detail. The natural wording may use a different order or construction from the English sentence.

A note on speaking Korean

Most examples use polite 해요-style endings. A more formal ending may appear when addressing staff or making a careful request. Do not switch to casual speech with a stranger simply because the English translation sounds friendly.

Hangul is the main text; romanization helps you read along. Korean often leaves a clear subject unstated. Particles and endings carry information that English may express with separate words.
