Also spelled nunga

A weighty, rhetorical question

Poses a question in a reflective or dramatic register rather than an ordinary conversational one: who am I and why am I living in this world, how do I see myself, should I give up and leave, who made that coughing sound. Several of these lines are on-screen captions putting a moment of hesitation into grand words for comic effect. In real conversation you would ask the same thing with 나요? or 어요?.

Register: literary or rhetorical; often captions
