The purpose of this study is to compare examples of the suffix “的(teki / jeok)” in Japanese and Korean. This survey is based on examples from newspaper articles for one year. The examples are classified into examples that are used only in Japanese, examples that are used only in Korean, and examples that are commonly used. As a result of analysis, Korean is more productive about “的”. The reason is as follows. ①According to previous studies, Korean had more words that used “的”. As a reason for this, previous studies pointed out the effect of part of speech, which is also true in this survey. However, another reason is that Korean has a high proportion of Chinese characters. In Korean, there are many Chinese characters words that are not used in Japanese, so there are many words that are preceded by “的”. ②When a noun is modified with the particle “の(no)” in Japanese, Korean tends to use “的”. Furthermore, when using a suffix other than “的” in Japanese, “的” was sometimes used in Korean. For these reasons, Korean uses more suffix “的” than Japanese. In addition, learners should note the following points. Examples that are commonly used in Japanese and Korean also have different usages. The reason is that the same Chinese characters can have different meanings in Japanese and Korean.
