What does 오버한 것 같아 mean?
오버한 것 같아 means "I think I overdid it" in Korean.
How it works here
오버한 is a conjugated verb form, and 것 같아 adds a guess or cautious judgment. The speaker therefore avoids making a definite statement and says that it seems they acted that way.
Key expression
-ㄴ 것 같다
An expression used when the speaker cautiously guesses that they acted or judged in a certain way, or judges that it appears so
This form is used after a verb as V-ㄴ/은 것 같다 and expresses a guess or judgment about the present or past. It is usually the speaker's subjective judgment, so it is less direct than a definite statement. Compared with a similar -나 보다, it more clearly reveals the speaker's guess or evaluation.
When it's used
Used when cautiously guessing or evaluating the degree or result of an action, especially while reconsidering one's own words or behavior.
The line
어! 아 조금.. 오버한 것 같아.
Oh! Ah, maybe a little.. I think I overdid it.
This is said after speaking when reconsidering whether one's own judgment was correct.
