Suffix ~ish (behaviour) Hi All The suffix ~ish is commonly used to to change a noun to mean "act like" or "behave like". e.g. When we say... you are foolish.. this means that you act or behave like a fool. This also can be used as an adjective.. That was foolish behaviour ~ That was fool-like behaviour. I'm familiar with using 같 + 보다 ~ look like. Is there a similar construction in Korean similar to ~ish? Thanks! @Amerit el jazayer. I'm sorry but that link has nothing to do with "act like" or "behave like" that resembles the ~ish suffix. @누나. Thank you.. it looks like ~처럼 was what I was looking for.

- ish..well can be 2way if we can say simply. 1. act like ~, look like~, seem like~, sound like : ~같다, ~처럼 보이다(행동하다), 예) 코 좀 파지마, 바보같아. Don't pick your nose, you look so foolish 왜 어린 아이처럼 그래(행동해)? why are you being childish? 그는 늘 옷을 기생오래비(negative meaning)처럼 입는다. He always wears like a pimp. 2. 쯤, 즈음(around that time) 현민이가 내일쯤 여기에 온다고 했어. Hyeonmin will come here tomorrowish. 화요일 정오즈음 여기서 봐.
