‘내가 알기로는’은 as I know가 아니다

---

1. 핵심 설명

‘내가 알기로는’이라는 표현은 단순히 “내가 알고 있다”는 뜻이 아니라, 내가 알고 있는 범위 안에서 또는 현재까지 내가 가지고 있는 정보에 따르면이라는 제한적이고 주관적인 판단을 나타낸다.

• as I know는 문법적으로 자연스럽지 않다.
• 적절한 표현은 as far as I know 또는 그 외 유사 표현들이다.
• 이 표현들은 사실을 보장하지 않고, 개인의 정보 범위를 명시하는 데 초점이 있다.

2. 틀린 표현 바로잡기

• ❌ As I know, this product is out of stock.
• ✅ As far as I know, this product is out of stock.

→ “내가 알기로는”이라는 의미에는 범위의 한계가 내포되므로, as far as라는 구조가 필요하다.
