Many foreingers have difficulties learning Korean because of so many "reverse constructed nature" of emotion-related "verbs". By reverse-construction I mean the Spanish verb "gustar" https://spanishobsessed.com/blog/like-in-spanish/ I cannot say for certain for Portuguese, but I suppose this concept isn't all that new for you, I hope. To add insult to injury, these reverse-constructions verbs aren't active verbs in Korean, but "adjective verbs", causing so much confusion to foreigners. I love dogs 나는 개가 좋다 I hate dogs 나는 개가 싫다 Note that dog is the subject in both cases. 좋다 = "to like" in reverse construction in adjective form combined with "to be" 싫다 = "to hate" in reverse construction in adjective form combined with "to be" Yes, Korean is such a different language. There is a way to re-reverse these verbs and turn them to active ones though: 좋아하다 (to like) 싫어하다 (to hate) And these are answers most native Koreans would give, and most foreigners actually use. However, this kind of re-reversing very often doesn't sound all that natural. And since most emotion related verbs are in reversed adjective form in Korean, it is very important to get a hang of this in the beginning. examples: 부럽다: "to envy" in reverse construction in adjective form combined with "to be" I envy you = 나는 네가 부럽다 그립다: "to miss" in reverse construction in adjective form combined with "to be" I miss you = 나는 네가 그립다 역겹다: "to digust" in adjective form combined with "to be" (one of very few reverse construction verbs in English) His attitude disgusts me = 나는 그 녀석의 태도가 역겹다.
