[오전 12:33:22] Mike Averill: pretty much the same..."however" is more formal and "but" is more casual

[오전 12:34:01] Mike Averill: example: i like apples, but i do not like pears

[오전 12:35:18] Mike Averill: I like apples, however, i do not like pears....is also correct, but it would sound too formal.

[오전 12:37:21] Mike Averill: if you are starting a sentence, "however" is the preferred word. You should not start a sentence with "but", unless you are just talking to a friend.

[오전 12:38:05] Mike Averill: like in you sentence about: "however, I would like to work in USA", you were OK with using "however"

[오전 12:38:33] Mike Averill: i meant: like in your sentence above



방금(2009.3.7 금) 미국친구하고 영어채팅 중.. 차이점을 설명해 준 것인데요

맞나요? ..

그냥 공부하기로 however 를 but 보다 많이 사용하는 것이 좋다 정도입니다.

정확하게 2개의 의미를 아시면 댓글 주시면 감사합니다.

however는 문두에 사용할 수 있다. 그리고, 지나치게(too) 공식적이다.?
