714 아무리 어/아/여도 No Matter How..

Question 1

아무리 + verb + 어/아/여도
= no matter how (+verb/adjective/adverb)

Answer 1

아무리 어려워도 no matter how hard it is..

Question 2

아무리 is technically optional and could just use the 어/아/여도, but 아무리 makes it sound clearer/stronger (like 만냑)
아무리 rarely ever used on its own, usually with 도 or other similars
It’s a nice signal in the beginning of the sentence for listeners

And remember 어/아/여도 means even if/however
Ex: 아무리 바빠도 means
바빠도 means

Answer 2

Now matter how busy you are..
Even if you’re busy…

Question 3

You can understand the tense, the subject and the tone with context and information

Answer 3

Often the 아 in 아무라 really dragged out to emphasize “eeeven if”
or not depending on the situation

Question 4

Sometimes can use 아무리 with nouns, but only if you add 이다 (이다 is a verb and turns it into a verb)
이다 can then change with 여도 or 라도
아무리 부자여도 (from 부자이어도)
아무리 부자라도 부자=rich person

Question 5

Don’t translate right to English
아무리 바보여도
아무리 바보라도

no matter that your a fool? Sounds better as “no matter how much of a fool you are”

(Remember 어/아/여도 added to verbs,adverbs,adjectives and then nouns to turn them into a “verb”)

Question 6

아무리+ +도 can be replaced with 봤자, 아무리 고 싶도, 아무리 려고 해도, 아무리 다고해도 etc
But all have subtle differences based on meaning of second phrase

See below

Answer 6

아무리 공부해도 most neutral
아무리 공부해 봤자 least hopeful/confidence
아무리 공부한다고 해요 less hopeful
아무리 공부하고 싶어도 no matter how much you want to study
아무리 공부하려고 해도 no matter how much you (are going) intend/plan/“try” to study

Question 7

To let sentence me on it’s own with no second clause after the 도, use 아무리+ =도 그렇지 그렇지 here means but still (clause of unknown)
요 can be added to be more formal but then is pronounced like 죠
아무리 어려워도 …. without second clause is said like

Answer 7

아무리 어려워도 그렇지(요)no matter how hard it is, still../I know it’s hard but still..
Meaning know by context
Need to continue sentence with 아무리…도

Question 8

With a noun, when you want to not add a second clause
학생여도 그렇지 or (instead of 이다-여)

Answer 8

학생이라도 그렇지(요)even thought you’re a student!
Obviously you can make second sentence to add like 왜? But it’s not about the first clause right

Question 9

• “At the latest” 아무리 늦어도 (fixed expression) *

아무리 늦어도 2시까지는 오세요! no matter even if you’re late you are come by 2!

Answer 9

아무리 싫어도, 안 싫은 척해 주세요 no matter how much you hate it/them, please (for me) pretend you don’t/ no matter how much you don’t feel like doing it, please pretend you don’t
