Imao, this is not a good habit. When learning a new language, your priority must be understand the main idea. What you're doing will hinder your progress because you pay way too much attention to just a few words and you don't get what the paragraph/article is about. From you example, if you read "그녀가 매일 학교에 가요", would you translate it as "She mundane goes to school"? Obviously not, but you know what a word may mean mainly due to context. Many words have several meanings, and the only way to know which of them is the most appropriate in a given sentence is to check what that sentence is about. By the way, "everyday" does mean commonplace AND daily, so your dictionary's not wrong. About your second question, I'm not sure what you meant. 수영 is a word, in french it would be translated as "natation" and 수영하다 as "nager".

I would recommend dropping any kind of book you have and start listening to talktomeinkorean.com instead. Don't get hung up on these little things. It's something you will learn along the way.

Okay, I'm already a bit confused by what you're asking about, but 매일 means "every day". It's an adverb or noun(less common), but never adjective. 매일 먹는 거 Things I eat every day 매일 공부해야 돼요. I should study every day. Here're some shortcuts you might like to use(I'm not sure if they might help you at all, especially the last one): If a word ends with -게 or -록, it's likely to be an adverb(al clause). - 갈수록 태산이에요. As time goes by, things get worse. - 저 좀 지나가게 비켜주실래요. Would you please step aside, so I can pass. If a word ends with -ㄴ/은/는 or ㅆ던, it's likely to be an adjective (clause). - 좋은 사람 good person - 착한 사람 nice person - 좋았던 사람 the person who's been good - 밥 먹은 사람 the person who ate rice - 밥 먹는 사람 the person who eats rice /who's eating rice If a word ends with 아/어요 or 다, 네, 야, 죠(or 지요), 까, 나, 아(ㅏ)/어(ㅓ), 지, 냐, 자, 마/마라, 돼, it's likely to be a verb. - 저예요. It's me. - 밥 먹는다. I(or he/she/they) eat rice = I'm having breakfast/lunch/dinner. - 여기 있네. See, it's here. - 가야죠. I guess I should go. (polite Korean) - 놀러갈까? Wanna go hang out? - 또 사고쳤구나. You got yourself in trouble again, didn't you? - 이 노래 좋아. This song is good. - 그래서 안 했지. So I didn't do it. - 자냐? Are you sleeping? - 하지 마. Don't do it. (All are casual Korean except for the ones with 요, 죠.) This one is not going to get you very far, if a word doesn't ends with the above ones it's likely to be a noun. Plus, if it ends with -기 or 음/ㅁ, it's more likely to be a noun. When it comes to those liquids that come through your body, you use 흘리다. 땀 흘리다 and 눈물 흘리다, for example. One could use 수영 alone, for example: A: Is there something you wish you could do well? B: 수영. (It's a noun, but you would say "Swimming" in English.)

i can help you, philipp ^^
