분명하다 대 명확하다 대 뚜렷하다
Hi.
Could you please tell me the difference between these three words with some short examples?
My impression:
1. 분명하다 - Sino word. To be clear (especially by sight)
2. 명확하다 - Sino word. To be clear-cut, obvious (in general)
3. 뚜렷하다 - native word. To be clear (especially to remember)
감사합니다!

어쨌든 대 아무튼 대 좌우간
Hi. Could you please help me differentiate the meaning of these 3 words and provide an example usage of each?
My impression of each:
1. 어쨌든 - anyway, regardless, even so (similar to 그래도)
2. 아무튼 - in any case, no matter what
3. 좌우간 - anyway (despite expecting the opposite), perhaps more formal since it's Sino
감사합니다!

사이 대 중간 대 가운데 대 중앙
Could you please explain to me the difference between these four words and provide an example for each?
My impression is:
1. 사이 ー between (a space or time) (like anywhere between two things or times)
2. 중간 - the middle of a space or time (like the exact middle between two things or times)
3. 가운데 - the center of a larger space (like the exact center/middle of a room)
4. 중앙 - the middle/center (like 가운데,but less common/more formal since it's Sino origin)
Also, can 중간/중앙 be shortened to just 중 in casual use?
감사합니다!

물건 대 물체
Could you please tell me the difference between these two words?
My impression is that 물건 is more commonly and broadly used and 물체 is more narrow in meaning and less common.
I would appreciate a brief explanation and example for each.
감사합니다!

Meaning of One Sentence (V듯이)
Hello.
Could someone please help me understand the meaning of "듯이" in the following sentence:
잘 알고 있듯이, 어린아이들은 치명적이다.
I know "잘 알고 있다" is "know well" and "어린아이들은 치명적이다" is "children are deadly/fatal".
So I'm assuming the meaning of the entire sentence is something like "As everyone knows well, children are deadly."
I looked up and read that 듯이 is used to mean "like" or "as if". However, I don't quite understand the meaning of 듯이 here.
If someone could please (1) give me the meaning of the whole sentence and (2) explain why 듯이 is used here, I would appreciate it :)

Also, is it slang?
