6) His overweening attitude disgusts me. / He is overweening. (again, overweening is unnatural. His arrogant attitude disgusts me.)

I guess 보다 is used so much for some reason I didn't 'get it' when someone used it in a sentence in a way that was unfamiliar to me. I thought it was a different structure or something. Ahhhh.... one more lesson learned. Thank you so much!0 votedDecember 14, 20120
- 보니 Verb ending in Korean I am a bit confused as to the exact meaning of this verb ending and how to know when and when not to use it. This has been one that has been difficult to find information on the internet about. But someone used it on me in a sentence. Thank you so much for any help or direction.December 14, 201231
- as: The man is as fat as a cow. (It can answer the question, How fat? As fat as a cow.) The boy is as skinny as a stick? (How skinny? As skinny as a stick.) Like would not work in either of these examples. like: The dog looks like a horse. (You cannot say The dog looks as a horse. You need 'like' here.) The boy acts like a hero. The girl dresses like a princess. The teacher speaks like the president. Hope this helps a little.0 votedDecember 14, 20120
