Also spelled nunguna

Oh, so that's how it is

Marks the moment a fact clicks into place: so that's the road we need, so you always sleep wearing it, so the others eat before they come. It is the sound of taking in new information, not of agreeing or admiring. 네 also reacts to something new but stays closer to a plain impression, while 는구나 specifically says 'I now understand this'. All these lines are plain speech; 는군요 is the polite version.

Register: casual, plain speech
