    Actually, definition of 덩치 is the opposite of someone's height(="키") 키 only presents someone's height but 덩치 presents volume of his/her body. Here are "덩치" in Example Sentences 규리는 덩치가 큰 여자애다. = 규리 is a big girl 하림이는 덩치가 작다. = 하림 is small But 덩치 also can be used when you called someone who is big. Like a nickname However if you call someone 덩치, He/She wouldn't happy about it. It's little bit offenssive. It sounds he/she is a big, stupid, scary, dull, slow person. and plus most Koreans tend to think 덩치 is not cute. Hopefully my answer will help you! + More example sentences and some awkward sentences - 존은 덩치다.(John is 덩치.) = X 덩치 can't be used like this. It's awkward. But You can say, - 존은 덩치가 크다. (John is big.) - 존의 별명은 '덩치'이다. ("덩치" is John's nickname.) - 덩치도 크면서 귀여운척 하지마. (Don't pretend to be cute. You are so BIG.) - 너희 강아지는 우리 강아지보다 덩치가 작다. (Your puppy is smaller than my puppy.) 덩치 can be used to person, animal. It's awkward using with non-living things like table, apartment etc. - 네 책은 덩치가 크다. = X

    It's already been answered but there's need more context..as a Korean, this sentence can be interpreted in two ways. It's hard to figure out who said to whom. If 내 친구's name was Jane It could mean 1. Someone said "Jane is pretty much like a Korean." = 어떤사람은 제인이 한국인이나 다름없다고 말했다. 2. Jane told someone "You are pretty much like a Korean" = 제인이 누군가에게 "너는 한국인이나 다름 없다"고 말했다. * You can learn about the expressions : "N + (이)나 다름 없다" and "~한 적이 있다" from this pages N + (이)나 다름 없다 = http://www.mykoreanramblings.com/2015/09/10/no-different-fromno-more-thanas-good-as-%EC%9D%B4%EB%82%98-%EB%8B%A4%EB%A6%84-%EC%97%86%EB%8B%A4/ ~(라고) 한적 있다 = http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/(%EC%9C%BC)%E3%84%B4_%EC%A0%81%EC%9D%B4_%EC%9E%88%EB%8B%A4 https://123learnkorean.wordpress.com/2009/08/22/%EC%9C%BC%E3%84%B4-%EC%A0%81%EC%9D%B4-%EC%9E%88%EB%8B%A4%EC%97%86%EB%8B%A4-to-have-p-p-before/ Hopefully my answer will help you.
