“In my own way” in Korean 🇰🇷

How to use 나름대로 in Korean.

나름대로 means “in one’s own way” or “in its own way.” It comes from 나름 (“depending on” or “one’s own way,” as in 사람 나름이에요, “It depends on the person”) and 대로 (“according to”).

저도 나름대로 열심히 했어요. = I worked hard too, in my own way.
이 영화도 나름대로 재미있었어요. = This movie was fun too, in its own way.

It carries the feeling of “maybe not perfect, but good by its own standards,” so it sounds humble about yourself and generous about others. In casual speech, people often just say 나름: 나름 괜찮았어. “It was actually not bad.”
