Meaning
"Which do you like better"는 두 가지 이상의 선택지 중에서 어떤 것을 더 선호하는지를 묻는 표현입니다. 이 표현은 일상 대화에서 사람들의 취향이나 의견을 물을 때 자주 사용됩니다.
예를 들어, 친구에게 "Which do you like better, coffee or tea?"라고 물으면, 친구는 커피와 차 중에서 어떤 것을 더 좋아하는지를 답하게 됩니다. 이처럼 "Which do you like better"는 상대방의 선호도를 알아볼 때 유용하게 쓸 수 있습니다.
문법적으로는 "Which"가 의문사로 사용되며, "do you like"는 현재형 질문을 나타내고, "better"는 비교를 강조합니다. 따라서 이 질문은 두 가지 옵션 중 더 나은 것을 선택하도록 유도합니다.
이 표현을 사용할 때는 주의할 점이 있습니다. 선택지가 두 가지 이상일 때도 사용 가능하지만, 질문의 맥락에 따라 선택지를 명확하게 제시하는 것이 중요합니다. 이를 통해 상대방이 혼동 없이 선호도를 표현할 수 있습니다.
