(about a student)
느리기보다는 오해된 것 같아. He’s not slow; he’s just misunderstood.
(another student)
부지런하기보다는 시간이 많은 편이야. You say he’s dilligent? I say he just has a lot of free time.
(about myself)
그녕 미국 사람이라기보다는 세계 시민이잖아요. Instead of simply being an American, I consider myself a citizen of the world.
Does the subject usually take the Subject (이/가) or Constastive (은/는) marker?

Wow, lots of new vocabulary for me in this lesson, not to mention a brand new grammar point! Thanks! It was actually quite difficult for me. But then again…
이레슨에서 나온 문법과 어휘는 어렵다기보다는 배운 적이 없는 거에요.

맞아요. 이 레슨은 아주 재미있었네요. 새 단은들이 많이 있었서 처음에는 어렵게 생각했지만 문제라기보다는 좋은 배울 수 있을 기회가 돼요. 어차피 잘 못 하면 할수록 배우고 싶어요. 어유, 열심히 일 하는 것밖에 없죠.
[I agree. This lesson was really interesting. There was a lot of new words so I found it difficult at first, but I wouldn’t say it was a problem, it was rather a good opportunity to learn. Anyway, the more I struggle, the more I want to learn. Ha, there is nothing one can do but work harder, isn’t it?]

Wonderful lesson!
But, in “놀랐다기보다는, 의외예요.” why is there the past tense suffix???

Hello Fanny and Wangari,
This is Tim from KC101.com.
Thanks for leaving comment here.
Fanny, about your question… it is too difficult to explain this at this point. Why don’t you keep learning something simpler for now!? You will learn about it eventually or our lessons will teach you about this.
Wangari, thanks for liking the comparison.
cheers,
Tim
