When One Sentence Can Mean The Opposite

[@EverythingKorea-ce5gc]

“여기 자리있어요” can mean both it’s taken and this seat is available!! This is nothing to do with intonation 😂 It really depends on the situation so I normally say “앉으세요“ which means “have a seat”when it’s available

First Time I Confuse If Meet This Situation, But .... 이제 아라요😂😂

Bryan's acting has leveled up! He is getting really good!

[@rimachakrabortty9109]

I feel bad for the guy😂

[@EverythingKorea-ce5gc]

🤣🤣

[@Andy-is]

Wait, what? I am confused lol😂😂😂

[@fumi_]

When someone is looking for the seat:
>> It's available
When someone is trying to take the seat without asking for it :
>> It's taken

[@BryanKim-h7g]

So mean 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@EverythingKorea-ce5gc]

Lol I said this seat was taken! 🤣🤣

[@linhki4126]

So.. what is the right way to describe both meanings? ..your point is intonation ..up or down?

Please see the pinned comment!

The end of the word 있( 어요,하구요)

[@nickbellomo3362]

The tone is different right?

[@EverythingKorea-ce5gc]

Nope the tone could be the same as well 😂

I've been trying to learn so I can watch my k dramas without subtitles. It's been a hard run. 😂

[@toutatouta8593]

Not same exactly, first end with/ 있어요. Second end with,/ 있다구요

[@bryankim3712]

Why does it have opposite meaning??? Lol
