Korean usually omit or shorten.

There are a lot of ambiguity. So we have to focus on the context where the words are used. Linguists call korean contextual languague. Korean is concise and efficient, but also hard to understand the context.

Lesson5 ~같은 like vs 좋아해요 vs 좋아요like, be good

In korea 좋은 = good. This word is the root of 좋아해요, 좋아요.

Example

  • 좋아해요 only means "like" in english.
    • (저는) Natural 아이즈원을 좋아해요. I like IZ*ONE
  • But 좋아요 can mean both "like" and "be good"
    • Natural IZ*ONE은 좋아요.  IZ*ONE is good / (I like IZ*ONE)
      • IZ*ONE = a idol girl group of korean and japan
    • Natural 그 노래는 좋아요. The song is good. / (I like the song)
    • But there already is 좋아해요 for meaning "Like". And '은/는' usually be the mark for the Subject. So 좋아요 usually means "be good"
  • If you mean A is like B for C, You can say "A는 C에게 B같아요.
    • Natural 태희 씨는 저에게 가족 같아요. He is like a family for me
      • ​(if you say it to me... you mean "You are like a family for me." of course)
    • Natural 학교는 저희에게 감옥같아요. The school is like a prison to us.
      • 저희, 우리 = we
