Hello, could you explain the meaning of "brightest person"? Does it refer to the person with the brightest personality or the smartest person? I'm confused because Papago and Google Translate give different meanings, so I wanted to ask you.

안녕하세요, "brightest person"의 의미에 대해 설명해 주실 수 있나요? 성격이 가장 밝은 사람을 의미하나요, 아니면 가장 똑똑한 사람을 의미하나요? 파파고와 구글 번역에서 서로 다른 의미로 나와서 혼란스러워서 여쭤봅니다.

"brightest person"
성격이 가장 밝다 vs 가장 똑똑한 사람

Answer

Usually, a person described as "bright" would be smart.  However, that is not the only way the word is used.  A person with a "bright" personality would mean someone who is lively and cheerful, a totally different meaning.  You have to decide from context which meaning is intended.  Several other words describing light are also used this way: "glowing", "sunny", and "radiant".

Answer

If you describe someone as bright, you mean that they are quick at learning things. I was convinced that he was brighter than average. Synonyms: intelligent, smart, clever
