Degree
How strong or complete is something?
의미
We can show how strong a quality is or how far an action has gone. This can mean a little, very much, enough, too much, or completely. Languages use separate words, endings, or context, and some have no special degree forms. Quantity counts or measures things, while Degree usually measures a quality, a state, or an action.

모국어에서는
Korean expresses degree with words such as 아주, meaning 'very,' 조금, meaning 'a little,' 충분히, meaning 'enough,' and 완전히, meaning 'completely.' These words normally precede the adjective or verb. 너무 often means 'too,' but it also strengthens positive descriptions in everyday speech.
