Did you know?
- While 나도 is a direct translation of 'me too', Koreans often avoid using it to agree with a negative statement. Instead, they use different phrasing to avoid ambiguity.
- In very casual settings, Koreans may drop the 나 entirely and just say 도 when the context is clear, though this is highly colloquial.
- The distinction between 나 (casual) and 저 (polite) is a fundamental part of the Korean language's honorific system. This reflects a cultural emphasis on social harmony and respect for hierarchy in every interaction.
