Continuing on the theme of "exclamation particles" (I just made that up, sounds good doesn't it?), today's post is about –네--nae- (on all verbs). Although it has a very similar meaning to –는군--neungun-it’s actually less restrictive, because you can say this when you realise or learn something new, even when you can’t see it firsthand.
- 이 차는 빠르네요!i cha-neun bba-reu-nae-yo / that car's fast! (perhaps your looking at a picture, rather than driving)
- 진짜 맛있네요!jin-jja mashi-nne-yo! / that's really delicious (someone has told you that it’s very good, and you agree)
- 비가 오네요!biga d-nae-yo! / it's raining (maybe you’re not looking outside)
But of course, this can be used when you experience something too, and it also has a more formal flavour to it.
Coming up tomorrow, my personal favourite, –잖아-jan-a
