Difference between ‘N-답다’ and ‘N-스럽다’ grammar:

1. N-답다 describes an expected quality associated with the noun. For example, a man (남자) is expected to be a manly (남자답다) person.

N-답다 is often attached to concrete nouns

사장님 (boss) -- 사장님답다 (be like a boss)

2. N-스럽다 shows contrast between the described noun and its action. For example, a girl acts like a lady (여성스럽다), a young person acts like an elder (어른스럽다).

N-스럽다 is also used to describe a quality or feeling just like the noun. N-스럽다 often goes with abstract nouns

사랑 (love ) -- 사랑스럽다 (lovable, adorable)
농민 (farmer) -- 농민답다 (be like a farmer)
후회 (regret) -- 후회스럽다 (regretful)
