Let's Learn Korean - Particle 네요 and 나요 -

1. Particle 네요

I’ll go anywhere..
(I’ll go anywhere)..
너무 따뜻한 그대 눈에..
내가 담기네요..

This particle is used for showing the response of the speaker about something that he just realised. This particle only be used for declarative statement.

Example:  -  존이 한국말을 잘 좋아요  =  John speaks Korean well
                  -  존이 한국말을 잘 좋네요  =  I just know that John speaks Korean well

The 1st example shows you that the speaker has already known that John can speak Korean well, but in the 2nd example, it shows you that the speaker just realises that John can speak Korean well.

When this particle is paired up with 겠, the meaning of this particle becomes “I guess it will be...”.

Example:  -  내일은 너무 바쁘겠네요  =  I guess you’ll be so busy tomorrow
                  -   물이 조금 찬겠네요  =  I guess the water will be a bit cold

And when this particle is paired up with past particles and 겠, it means the particle is used for showing surprisedness that the speaker is so certain that the thing that he just knew will happen.

Example:  -  많이 아팠겠네요  =  Ah, it must be so painful
                  -   여행기가 많이 재미있었겠네요  =  The trip must be so fun

2. Particle 나요

알고 있나요?..

This particle is used for create polite questions. It can be replaced with particle (은)는가요.

Example:  -  지금 한국에는 얼마나 추운가요?  =  How cold is it now in South Korea?
                  -  이걸 그 여자보고 말하면 괜찮나요?  =   Is it alright if i tell this to that girl?
