[Jeni ssi namja chingudo bwasseoyo.]
A: I met her boyfriend, too.
B: 정말이요? 어땠어요?
[Jeongmariyo? Eottaesseoyo?]
B: Really? How was he?

There are many Korean words with the meaning `very'.
Today we'll look at the word `되게[doege]' which means `아주 몹시[aju mopsi] (very much).' Of all the colloquial expressions of its type, it is the most commonly used expression.
Why don't you practice these with a Korean friend today: `오늘 날씨 되게 덥다.[oneul nalssi doege deopda.] (It is extremely hot today)', `되게 맛있다.[doege maditda.] (It is very tasty)', `되게 예쁘다.[doege yeppeuda.] (It is very pretty).'
