💡 Nova’s Tip

‘-네요’ is used when you notice or react to something for the first time, like ‘oh, it’s…!’ — 크네요! 싱싱하네요! It adds a natural, surprised feeling.

🇵🇭 Ang ‘-네요’ ay ginagamit kapag napansin mo o nag-react ka sa isang bagay sa unang pagkakataon — 크네요! 싱싱하네요! Nagbibigay ito ng natural, nagulat na damdamin.
