This program is great and every thing, but to distinguish really and very as different for the word 많이 is ridiculous.
많이 Really Very Extremely Super
많은 A lot Much Many
Very 많이 진짜 정말 아주 엄청 매우
Programmers might not be fluent in human languages, because one programming language needs only one word to describe something lol
But here in case of korean it is very normal. They made their language quite difficult just because of these extra things

달다 and 달콤하다 both mean sweet (adj.).
But while 달다 simply describes the "sugary" taste, 달콤하다 is a more illustrative word. With the addition of "콤" (= fat taste of nuts, buttery nutlike flavor), 달콤하다 reflects the more savoury/smooth aspect of the sweetness. It is recognized that 'fat' does improve the taste in food.
- 콤하다 is usually seen added to some primary flavors for that reason 새-콤하다 (pleasantly sour, tangy, sharpish) or 매-콤하다 (pleasantly spicy, zesty )
In short, 달다 = sweet; 달콤하다 = pleasantly sweet
단 와인 = sweet wine
달콤한 와인 = smooth wine

첫 =
(actual meaning) initial, original, prototypical;
(usage) first, top, primary
번 = time; 째 = round, turn
—번째 denotes position in the list of things. Used as counter for ordinal numbers. Hence translated into English as st, nd, rd & th.
첫번째 = Lit. initial time round = first (1st).
In common usage, it is often abbreviated to '첫' (hence the confusion).
I'm not sure either. "첫 번째 " means "first", adding 번째 makes the th/nd on a number, like 80th is 여든 번째, but it doesnt work on 1

It can be "understood".
But the difference is 첫 와인 really means "original (first ever produced) wine" which could date back to thousands of years ago. 첫 번째 와인 means first-time (released)/first-growth wine.

Number [번]째 + NOUN.
• Number: Use pure Korean set of numbers (up to 20), apart from: 1st = 첫째 or 1st time = 첫 번째.
Note:
• space needed between Number and 번째.
• 첫 comes from 처음, the beginning.
• use proper ordinals 첫째; 둘째 etc. for counting and ordering and use 첫 번째; 두 번째 etc for repetitive events/actions and ranking/grading.
• after 20, either pure Korean or sino Korean numbers may apply but pure Koreans are preferred.
첫 번째 와인(은) = First/top grade wine (topic subject)
my brain's gonna explode really. why is "the first wine is so sweet" wrong dang:(
If someone said this to me in English I still would not understand what they were talking about ngl. Maybe I just don't know wine?

"So" is similar to "(much) too". But while "(much) too" tends to be used with negative adjectives, "so" can be used with both negative and positive adjectives.
The first wine is so sweet = The first wine is (much) too sweet = 첫 번째 와인은 너무 답니다.
