Learn Korean: Noun + 따위

Let’s take a look at the Korean sentence pattern Noun + 따위. The word 따위 is attached to a noun to give it a negative connotation. We have animosity towards that person or thing. If we hate someone so much (such as the mistress of our husband), we can add 따위 to her name. If her name is Dakyung (다경), we say 다경 따위 (implying that she is a bitch, an asshole, a piece of shit, whatsoever). If we have had a bad experience in love (사랑), then our perception of it becomes dark. We say 사랑 따위 (that damn thing called love). We can use it in a variety of sentences such as 다경 따위랑 비교도 안 돼 (You can't compare me with someone like Dakyung) and 사랑 따위 필요 없어 (I don't need love); all with negative connotation.
