How do you say leader in Korean?

There isn't one single perfect translation for "leader" in Korean, as the best word depends on the context. Here are a few options:

* 지도자 (jidoja): This is a general term for "leader," often used in a formal or political context. It implies someone who guides and directs others.

* 대표 (daepyo): This means "representative" or "delegate," and can be used for a leader of a group or organization.

* 리더 (lideo): This is a loanword from English ("leader") and is commonly used, especially in more informal settings or business contexts.

* 우두머리 (udumeori): This word implies a leader, often of a somewhat less formal group or a group with a more hierarchical structure. It can sometimes have a slightly more negative connotation, suggesting a bossy or domineering leader.

* 장 (jang): This word means "head" or "chief" and is used as a title for the leader of a specific group or organization (e.g., 팀장 (timjang) - team leader).

To choose the best word, consider:

* The type of group: Is it a political party, a company, a sports team, etc.?

* The formality of the situation: Are you speaking informally with friends, or formally in a presentation?

* The style of leadership: Is the leader authoritative, collaborative, etc.?

For most situations, 지도자 (jidoja) or 리더 (lideo) will be appropriate. If you can provide more context, I can give you a more precise translation.
