Second guessed myself because the statement is kind of confusing.

[jaisaige]

Same.. I switched the two because it didnt make sense

[netbuckeye]

this is actually a great sentence to test if your Korean is good of not, it's tricky so if you got it right the first time, then you are good!

[KittyBlossom0802]

Yeah. I was also thinking why did they write it that way...... maybe, they have made a mistake! But your comment explains it.... thanks!

[IgorFerreiraP]

I can easily see this sentence being used for someone who speaks too much and doesn't think through

[Phalanx8710]

Is this a proverb?

[jackisback7]

No, but it definitely sounds like it. There is one "배보다 배꼽이 크다" (lit. "your belly button is bigger than your stomach") which has the same meaning as "your eyes are bigger than your stomach" in english.

Lol it threw me for a curve too.

[AolaniMG]

Is this an idiom?

[Kaehyae]

the hint says "that the mouth" instead of "than the mouth".

[KungKras]

Very lovecraftian

[9oowangdae]

Whaaaa...

[pQpQrOPY]

Try to picture that in your mind ... !

[AmandaStok10]

Sounds quite insulting if it was an actually used sentiment. Imo

[HoudaCherif]

Isn't it a compliment in korean culture to say that a face is small
