You are the sweetest thing

[ronanpoirier]

How do I say this in Korean?

You are the sweetest thing (I've ever met).

Thanks in advance. If it's not possible to translate the words between parenthesis without making corrections to the sentence, then, I ask you to write it two times, one with it and one without it.

Hi!



In Korean, people just don't use the word "sweet" (달콤하다) to describe a person, and I can't think up its equivalent, so I translated it into

• "사랑스럽다," (lovely)
• "소중하다," (precious) and,
• "귀엽다." (cute)

also, for the "thing," since Korean does not apply "thing" (것) to people, I have two options, and those are

• "사람," (human, but it does not have any academical sense) and,
• "여자" (woman)
  (fyi, although it is my personal standard, the word "woman" in saying this sentence sound more macho)
• or, just eliminate "thing" (like "you are the most sweetest")

So the result would be,

1. (lovely+woman) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 사랑스러운 여자야
2. (lovely+human) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 사랑스러운 사람이야
3. (just lovely) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 사랑스러워
4. (precious+woman) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 소중한 여자야
5. (precious+human) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 소중한 사람이야
6. (just precious) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 소중해
7. (cute+woman) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 귀여운 여자야
8. (cute+human) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 귀여운 사람이야
9. (just cute) 너는 (내가 지금까지 만난 사람 중에) 가장 귀여워

Also, I would not recommend the elimination of "I've ever met" for it would sound awkward.

Hope it would help
(and not too late lol)

You can use 넌 for 너는, it is more slang. (If you wanna be cool).
