'돼요' is the correct spelling. '돼' is the contracted form of '되어'. When in doubt, try replacing it with '되어' — if it sounds natural, use '돼'.
'며칠' is the correct spelling. '몇일' is incorrect and not found in the Standard Korean Language Dictionary.
Although bound nouns cannot stand alone and depend on preceding words, they are still nouns and must be written with a space. Examples: '수' in '할 수 있다', '것' in '그럴 것 같다', and '뿐' in '그뿐만 아니라'.
This checker catches rule-based errors for common mistakes. Context-dependent errors (e.g., homophone confusion) may be missed. For thorough checking, consider also using the National Institute of Korean Language's official spell checker.
The most common Korean spelling mistakes include '되요' (→돼요), '됬다' (→됐다), '금새' (→금세), '몇일' (→며칠), and '역활' (→역할). The distinction between '되다' and '돼다' is particularly confusing. Since '돼' is the contracted form of '되어', the correct spellings are '돼요' and '됐다'. Bound nouns such as '수', '것', and '뿐' must always be written with a space before them.
The key principle of Korean spacing is to write bound nouns separately. In phrases like '할 수 있다', '그것 같다', and '뿐만 아니라', the words '수', '것', and '뿐' are not independent units of meaning and must be written with a space before them. Negative adverbs '안' and '못' are also written separately from the following verb. '안 됩니다' and '못 합니다' are the correct spellings.
Spell checkers are useful in many situations including blog writing, email composition, and report writing. Spelling errors in official documents or job application letters can significantly reduce credibility, so it is essential to check carefully. By learning commonly misspelled words in advance and using the checker whenever in doubt, your spelling ability will gradually improve.
