날 / 일 both mean “day” but the first is native Korean word and second is Sino-Korean (inherited from Chinese). 날 has broader use but 일 is also used for document type stuff like dates and calendars. 일 also means Sun (the sun could also be called 태양 or 해).
낮 is daylight hours, sunrise to sunset.
하루 is a 24 hour day. For example, to say “every day” you’d say 하루마다 and “day-by-day” 하루 하루.
And then there’s also 오늘 which means “today.”
There’s also plenty of words for X days later/ago. 어제 / 그저께 yesterday, day before. 내일 / 내일 모래 tomorrow, day after. I can’t remember the three or four count words…
Fun fact: same languages (including swedish) have different words for day as in 24h and day as in not night
That makes sense to have. Little things like that are the coolest part about learning a new language.
I wish we could just make a language that combines all the best bits of different languages. Like a modded Esperanto or something
In Spanish “morning” and “tomorrow” are the same word “mañana”… It can be confusing.
At some point you learn to cope. “esta mañana”, “el día de mañana”, “mañana por la mañana”…
Spanish has two: de día roughly “by daytime” and un dia exactly “a day”.
Korean has like four! 날 / 낮 / 하루 / 일
Wow! What do they mean?
Day, day, day, and day
/j, I don’t actually know what they mean
I think you made a mistake. I put it in a translator and the output was: 날 / 일 / 낮 / 하루
Could it be that you mixed up the order? Thanks anyway for trying! I appreciate what you did for me!

Maybe daytime would be similar. Daytime, nighttime
