advanced korean grammar #2 | 아무리 -기로서니
(아무리) 동사, 형용사 + -기로서니
앞 문장의 사실은 인정하지만 그것이 뒤 문장의 충분한 이유나 조건이 될 수 없음을 나타낸다. 뜻을 분명하게 하고 강조하기 위해서 앞 문장에는 ‘아무리'가 자주 쓰이고 뒤 문장에는 반어적 의미의 의문문 형태나 부정문 형태가 자주 쓰인다
This grammar structure expresses that while you acknowledge that the preceding clause is true, it does not serve as sufficient reason or conditions for the following clause. ‘아무리' is often used at the start to serve as emphasis and rhetorical questions or negative sentences are often used in the latter clause.

형용사 + -긴 - 은/ㄴ가 보다
어떤 사실이나 상황으로 미루어 그런 것 같다고 추측함을 나타낸다. ‘-긴'을 사용하여 동사, 형용사를 반복함으로써 의미가 강화되는 효과가 있다.
