sugoi and sugoku

The difference between sugoi and sugoku, these two Japanese words look very similar, however the way of usage is different, many Japanese learners feel confused, sugoi is adjective, sugoi is used before noun., for example we can say “sugoi bijin”, which means very beautiful person, but you can not say “sugoku bijin”, instead you can say “sugoku utsukushii hito ga iru”, which means there is a very beautiful person.

Lisa brought a cake she had baked over to her friend Yoko’s house. Yoko said, “Waa sugoi! Did you bake it yourself, Lisa? sugoku oishii.” After that, Yoko started to repeat sugoi in many of her sentences, in cluding “Asatte sugoi taifuu ga kurundatte,” “Kinoo mita eiga sugoku kowakatta,” “Nichiyoobi ni Harajuku ni ittara sugoi hito datta,” and, “Tonari no koneko sugoku kawaii no.” Lisa realized that sugoi is a very useful word that can be used in both good and bad situations. However, overuse of sugoi should be avoided as it may make the speaker’s speech sound childish.
