Q:
What does I dont want to rub my daugther's adoreableness in my barren old sister mean?
A:
@dream190406
• "rub in your face" means to show something to someone that would make them feel inferior (누구에게 열등 느끼게 하는 것을 보여 주다)
• "adorableness" is the noun form of "adorable" (귀엽다 => 귀엽기, 귀여움)
• With "barren old sister", the speaker is trying to offend their sister (barren = 비생산적; old = 늙은); because of the that, we know that she's being sarcastic when she says she doesn't want to rub her daughter's adorableness in her sister's face.

Q:
What does i don't see how
1.i dont know what i have to do
2.i dont know what is the situation
which is? mean?
1.i dont know what i have to do
2.i dont know what is the situation
which is? mean?
A:
"I don't see how" doesn't mean either of your examples.
"I don't see how." = "I don't know....1. the way to do something. 2. how something will occur. 3. how something is done."
"I don't see how." Is an ellipse. An ellipse is half a sentence. The rest of the sentence is implied. It is implied because of the meaning of "how."
"How" always questions "processes" and "ways things occur." So you can imply that the sentence is talking about how something is done or how something will occur.

What does what does" i dont know your wavelength?" mean mean?
A:
Haha, what a weird statement. I think it would mean "I don't know your sense of humor" or "I don't know what kinds of things you like." It sounds like some half-asleep pizza delivery guy talking. He sees you getting annoyed at him and says to you, "Bro, chill, I don't know your wavelength man..." Hope this helps!

Synonyms of "Dont" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between i dont know even anything and i dont know anything at all ?
A:
#1 is not grammatically correct, although you could say: "I don't even know anything."
Q:
What is the difference between i dont mean and i cant say ?
A:
When you say I dont mean something you didnt mean to say it. When you say I cant say. You cant talk to the person.
Q:
What is the difference between I also dont know that and I dont know that too ?
A:
The second sentence is not correct. You use 'too' if the verb is in the affirmative and 'either' if it's in the negative.
Example:
I know that too. -> Good!
I don't know that too. -> Bad!
I don't know that either. -> Good!
I know that either. -> Bad!
"I don't know that either" is the same as "I also don't know that."
Example:
I know that too. -> Good!
I don't know that too. -> Bad!
I don't know that either. -> Good!
I know that either. -> Bad!
"I don't know that either" is the same as "I also don't know that."

Q:
How do you say this in English (US)? I dont know perfectly 'Stuff'
Would you mind tell me about it?
Would you mind tell me about it?
A:
"Stuff" is a word like 것. Because it's difficult to give an exact meaning to it. You will see that it is a word that always requires context.
We use the word "stuff" when we can't name it exactly. It's like the word "something".
"Do you have stuff to eat?"
"Do you have something to eat?"
"moo0oon씨, 먹을 것 있어요?"
"There's some stuff on your shirt."
means "There's something on your shirt."
Usually"stuff" is for things which are not important.
When we were kids, our teachers didn't want us to use the word "stuff". Kids often use the word because there are many names and words they don't know.
Our teachers told us "stuff" is actually what you find in your belly-button. They did this to make us think we were using a gross word, when they actually wanted us to be more descriptive.
So usually the word "stuff" can be replaced with something more specific.
"Grab your stuff and let's go."
"Grab your suitcase and let's go."
"I'll eat some stuff on the way there."
"I'll eat some food on the way there."
"We usually watch stuff on TV."
"We usually watch shows on TV."
"We usually find stuff to do."
"We usually find activities to do."
"There's stuff on your car."
"There's dirt on your car."

@geemsang My friend’S ankle was strainED IN THE soccer game today. He said he will leave and THAT he is okay. I thought he would walk himself to his home WHICH is 5 min away from the field.
I had 2 more games TO PLAY (I know that is obvious but it sounds better) after he left. Someone called me after (a game while technically correct doesn’t really explain. Someone called you after the first game or after both games were played.) and it WAS him haha. He said he can’t walk. (The next sentence doesn’t make sense as you are on the phone. Do you mean - I went to him and we laughed as we stood facing each other?
I supported him in walking but it took 5 mins TO GO 10 yards (We don’t use metric measurements in the US for this example.) I had no choice SO I gave him a piggyback RIDE to his house. Hahaha He was ????? heavy and I was exhausted. I’m GOING TO get money for that later. lmao (Overall this is excellent! I made the changes I would suggest in capital letters. And notice the ‘ for the contractions. Don’t, can’t, I’m. 😊
