Question

Difference between 보통, 원래, and 주로 when saying “usually”?
In these three sentences what is the difference between these three words?
아침을 보통 안 먹어요. 
아침을 원래 안 먹어요.
아침을 주로 안 먹어요?

What’s the main difference between these three words?

Answer

원래 is quite different from 보통 and 주로.

원래 means "originally; primarily; by nature"
보통 and 주로 both mean "usually"
In other words,
보통 means "generally, or normally"
주로 means "mainly, In a manner of serving as a basis or center"
In short,
보통 is used for a matter that happens  a little more frequently than normal. (probability:50~60%)
주로 is used for a matter that happens  much more frequently than normal. (probability:80~90%)

Answer

'보통'   과  '주로'   는  비슷해요.
'원래'   는   조금 더 강합니다.      '전혀 안 먹어요'  ,  '처음부터 안 먹었어요' 의  뜻입니다.
