Suffix ~ish (behaviour)
Hi All
The suffix ~ish is commonly used to to change a noun to mean "act like" or "behave like".
e.g.
When we say... you are foolish.. this means that you act or behave like a fool. This also can be used as an adjective..
That was foolish behaviour ~ That was fool-like behaviour.
I'm familiar with using 같 + 보다 ~ look like.
Is there a similar construction in Korean similar to ~ish?
Thanks!
@Amerit el jazayer. I'm sorry but that link has nothing to do with "act like" or "behave like" that resembles the ~ish suffix.
@누나. Thank you.. it looks like ~처럼 was what I was looking for.
