“Warranty” in Korean is 보증 (pronounced "bo-jeung").

bo-jeung
Usage & Context

How to use 보증 naturally
Quick answer
The Korean word for “Warranty” is 보증, romanized as bo-jeung.
Usage tip
Shopping Korean usually sounds more natural when you use short polite questions instead of translating English directly.
Common mistake
Do not rely only on the English meaning. Read the Korean example sentence and notice the particles, word order, and politeness level around 보증.
Pronunciation Guide
Pronounced 'bo-juhng' — 'bo' rhymes with 'bow' (as in bow and arrow), and 'jeung' sounds like the 'ju' in 'judge' followed by the 'ng' in 'song.' Keep both syllables short and stress them evenly.

Cultural Context
Korean consumer electronics brands like Samsung and LG usually include a one-year factory 보증 as standard, and customer-service culture here is famously fast — you can often walk into a 서비스센터 (service center) and get same-day repair while the warranty is active. One thing to watch for: the receipt (영수증) or the original packaging barcode is often required to invoke 보증, so Koreans tend to keep electronics boxes for the first year. In everyday speech, you'll also hear 보증서 (warranty certificate) and the verb form 보증하다, which can also mean 'to vouch for' a person.
