How do you say "Be confident in yourself! You're a great person!" in Korean?
Hi everyone,
I want to send a motivational message to my friend, but I'm not quite sure how to translate it.
If anyone can help translate "Be confident in yourself! You're a great person!" for me, I'll be extremely grateful! I'll really appreciate it!! :)
Thank you!

"자신에 대해 자신감을 가지는게 좋아! 넌 멋진(or 좋은)사람이야"
Actually, "멋진사람" means a handsome person and "좋은사람" means a good person, but when we use "좋은" or "멋진" to describe a person, they describe the one's personalities or human being.
Thus, "멋진사람" sounds like "A person who has handsome personalities" for Koreans.
Well, the translation is kind of weird but I believe you probably got the point.
Sometimes, we use "멋진사람" for actually handsome people, but it is kind of too formal to use.
Like in English, people would use a cool guy or awesome people rather than a neat guy or wonderful people.
You can say "훌륭한 사람", it literally has the same meaning as a great person but it sounds like a google translation or a quote from textbooks.
