noun + の + ごとき / noun + ごとき

ごとき is an old-fashioned written expression for comparison or exemplification, similar to ような.

In modern Japanese it appears in set, literary, or critical style and is rare in casual speech.

彼のごとき経験豊かな人でも、この判断には迷った。

Even a person as experienced as him hesitated over this judgment.

Avoid casual use; it can sound exaggerated or archaic.

Remember it as a formal, archaic ような.
