Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Such"

A: ‘Just’ can be used as ‘not long ago’ or ‘right now’
Example: ‘it happened not long ago’
‘It happened just now’
‘It happened right now’

‘Such’ can be used the same way as ‘like’
Example: ‘that tree is green like that car is’
‘That tree is green such as that car’

It’s not used the same way as ‘like’ when you’re talking about feelings though.

A: it means "like this"

A: Most common use:
such + noun that describes something you want to emphasize

Donald Trump is such an idiot!
Spain is such a nice country!

--

A related word is 'SO', with adjectives, but they are NOT interchangeable:

Donald Trump is so stupid!
Spain is so nice!

--

Another use of 'such' less common is like 'tal' in Spanish.

I do not want to speak of such things! = tal cosas
Such a man should never be President! = tal hombre

This use is a bit formal but it sounds fine in context.

“In situations such as this, we hope for the best.”

A: This is such a nice dress.

A: He is such a stupid man.

such + noun NOT adjective :

"He is such cool." is wrong.

You need to say "He is so cool."

→マイクくんのような生徒が珍しい。

A: I will master English in just 3 months! (3ヶ月で英語をマスターするぞ！)

A: "such as you" sounds like you are listing examples and isn't used in conversation, "like you" is more natural. e.g.= "someone like you could not understand" sounds better than "someone such as you could not understand"

A: "Like" can be used for many things:

A: "He's such a show off" sounds perfect. The other one "He's such a brag" is also correct but sounds a bit old fashioned to me like around 1960s old fashioned :)

I'm not sure what you mean by "I'm not such a easy" if you are talking about your ability in say English, you could say "I don't find this easy"

"Does this sound natural?" is perfect though.
