When you'd hear it

This is common in everyday speech and writing, especially with words for praise, love, criticism, and other treatment. It appears in forms such as 사랑받다 and 칭찬받다 in conversations, dramas, news, and workplace settings.

What learners get wrong

Learners may treat 받다 as only the literal verb “to receive.” In expressions like 사랑받다 and 칭찬받다, it follows an action noun and gives a passive meaning; this differs from using a passive suffix such as 사랑받다 versus 잡히다.
