따위
---> 각도따윈 필요없다
- 각도 = angle
- 필요 = need (a lesson note on want/need is on the pinned board)
- 따위 usually has two meanings when used dependently: "etc/and such" or "such things"
- 따위 means "that way"/"such way" when used independently
- When 따위 is used with the meaning of "such things", it's a kind of bound noun with a negative connotation
Examples
Dependent
- 난 사과나 오랜지 따위를 좋아 (I like apples, oranges, etc/and such)
- 난 사랑 따위를 안 믿어 (I don't believe in such things as love)
- 그 따위 말을 왜 했어? (Why did you say such words?)
Independent
- 이 따위는 필요없어! (I don't need such things!)
- 그 따위를 버려! (Throw such things away!)
Notes
- 따윈 = 따위는
- There's no direct translation of 따위 into the English language
- "Independent" and "dependent" refers to the sentence of which 따위 is in (e.g. When 따위 is used with another noun, such as "apples and oranges" or "love", it is dependent)
- In the third example under the dependent context, 따위 is added to emphasize the negative connotation of "such words", indicating that what has been said is worse than normal
