Great Question from Samin!
@Samin ์ฌ๋ฏผ Koreans use the โ-๋คโ form in casual writing (SNS, comments, captions, diaries) as a neutral, narrative-style statement. It feels like youโre talking to yourself, making a comment, or writing a caption. It's not polite or formal, itโs just plain and simple. Explanation Why Koreans use it - gives a caption / monologue feeling - sounds direct and natural - common among friends online - slightly dramatic or humorous Examples: - ๋ง์๋ค = โItโs delicious.โ (stated to yourself) - ์์๋ค = โItโs pretty.โ - ๊ฐ์ผ๊ฒ ๋ค = โGuess I should go.โ How it compares - โ๋ค = neutral narration - โ์ = polite, friendly - โ์ต๋๋ค = formal speech Is it used in speaking? Yes, but mainly: - talking to yourself - quoting someone - lectures or announcements - Not for regular conversation. Examples - ์ค๋ ๋ ์จ ์ข๋ค. โ โThe weather is nice.โ - ์... ๋๋์ด ๋๋ฌ๋ค. โ โFinally, itโs over.โ (self-talk)
