상대

상대

"상대" means "partner," "companion," "opponent," or "counterpart," depending on context.

Here, 상대 is used to mean 'opponent' or 'rival' in a competitive sense.

그는 나의 상대가 될 수 없다.

He cannot be my opponent.

Here, 상대 again implies 'opponent,' but it refers more generally to an entity one has to confront or address.

어려운 상대와 잘 대처하는 것이 중요하다.

It is important to deal well with a challenging opponent.

In this case, 상대 refers to the other party or counterpart in a conversational or relational context.

상대방의 입장을 이해하려고 노력해야 한다.

You should try to understand the other party's perspective.
