좀 더, 많이 더, and more Are these all correct? 좀 더 = 조금 더 = a little more 많이 더 = a lot more 아니 더 = no more Can they be used with verbs, adjectives and nouns? 좀 더 먹다 = eat a little more 많이 더 빠른 = a lot more fast = much faster 아니 더 우유 = no more milk

yes, you can use with them. 보다 더 빠른 = a lot more fast = much faster 그이상~하지않다(더이상 우유가 없다) = no more milk

Ah, ok. I knew 좀 was short for 조금 but I didn't realize it was also a separate word. I thought "더" by itself meant "more" but now I see that "더 많은" together also mean "more". Got it. Hahaha, not sheep, but amount. That was a dumb mistake. ;) Thanks again!

You use both 조금 (a little) and 더 많은 (adjective: more) in the same description in English, too. The word, 좀 in your sentence is a short form of 조금 (a little), NOT 좀 which has a meaning of somewhat or some. Does it make sense? Oh yeah, 양 in your sentence means the amount, not sheep.

Thanks, that is very helpful! I don't understand how you can use both 좀 and 많은 in the same description. The first means "a little", the second means "a lot". 좀 더 많은 양 = a little more many sheep ?? I see that 좀 can also mean "somewhat" which would fit better with 더 많은 "Somewhat a lot more sheep" as a translation makes more sense in English. 감사합니다!

좀 더 = 조금 더 = a little more (O) 많이 더 = a lot more (O) 아니 더 = no more (X) “No more ~,” or “There isn’t ~ anymore,” in Korean is 더이상 ~ 이 없다 / 더이상 ~하지 않다. So, “There is no milk anymore,” would be 더이상 우유가 없어요. (FYI, in Korean, I wish we could simply say 더이상 우유 or something simple for no more milk like you do in English, but 더이상 always accompanies a negative verb). 좀 더 먹다 = eat a little more (O) You can also say “좀 더 많이” 많이 더 빠른 = a lot more fast = much faster (Makes sense) You can say “더 많이 빠른” 아니 더 우유 = no more milk (X) i.e. Please walk a little bit more: 좀 더 걸으세요. The amount which is a little bit more: 좀 더 많은 양 (To make “a little bit more” adjective, you add 많은 after 좀 더). A lot more fast train: 더 많이 빠른 열차/기차 This trains goes a lot more fast: 이 기차가 더 많이 빨리 가요. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
