How surprising! Korean has so many endings for expressing surprise, wonder, disbelief, etc. Almost one for every emotion it seems like. I believe these are all of the surprise endings.
These are some of the easiest things to learn in Korean. Just tack them on to the end of a word and BAM - it adds a lot of "spice" to your sentence. Really though, these will make you seem really good at Korean. ORIGINAL Post.
는군요 & 는구나 & 군 (Discovery & Surprise)
Usage: 군요/는군요 is used to express surprise or wonder upon learning something new either by direct observation or experience or by hearing about it from someone else. It can be translated as “I see that”, “Indeed”, “How…”, or It can act like an exclamation point (!) does in English
It can be used in the past tense: -았/었군요.
Adjectives -군요
Verbs -는군요
Nouns -이군요
In the informal plain style -군요 changes to -구나/-군 for adjectives, 는구나/는군 for verbs, & (이)구나/(이)군 for nouns.
Examples:
아이스크림을 좋아하는군요.
You really like ice cream!
벌써 오월이구나!
(I didn't realized that) it's already May!
눈이 나쁘군요.
Your vision is bad indeed.
감기가 걸렸군요.
I see that you have caught a cold.
-네요, -(이)네요 (Experience & Surprise)
Usage: This ending has 2 different usages. 1 is to express surprise upon learning something through direct experience but not from hearing it from someone. It can translate to - really, certainly, wow. The 2nd usage is to agree with someone (when experiencing the same thing)
Adj./Verb - 네요
Nouns - (이)네요
- Consonant = 이네요
- Vowel = 네요
Examples:
벌써 여름이네요.
Wow, it's already summer.
가족이 너무 크네요.
Your family is really big.
한국어를 잘하시네요!
Your Korean (really) is good!
-나요?!
Usage: You may recognize this as a a question ending, but It also a surprise ending. It is used for making interrogative sentences and exclamations. It can be used in present (나요) & past tense (았/었나요), but not future tense.
Examples:
다 먹었나요!?
Did you eat it all!?
집에 벌써 가나요?
Are you already going home?
아직도 자나요?
Is he still sleeping?
는데요
Usage: Don’t get me started on the amount of usages & meanings this grammar has! One of them is used to express the speaker’s surprise at discovering or feeling something unexpected when observing a situation. It can be translated as, “I’m surprised to learn that….is so…” In English.
Examples:
여자 친구가 정말 예쁜데요!
(I’m surprised to see that) Your girlfriend is really pretty.
니아 씨는 정말 대단한데요.
Nia is really awesome.
와, 공부 열심히 하는데요.
Wow, you really are studying hard.

Giving a jewel count is a little bit of a holdover from the days when not every watch had jeweled bearings – cheap, mass-produced watch and clock movements link often had few or none, depending on the design. High jewel count became associated link with quality by consumers, so boasting about it became something brands did as well (it got taken to ridiculous lengths; at one point, some companies would actually glue non-functional rubies into the case, just to up link the jewel count. Shame…shame.)
It feels to me like a very special occasion and a cause for celebration. Spring Drive is link unique among timekeeping technologies – the Swiss experimented with a similar idea but never did anything with it, and Spring Drive offers an experience of the passage of time hard to find elsewhere. This is also, in its own way, link an almost elegaic watch – the gradual loss to climate change of the brutal link beauty of the frozen north is something to remember.
A second Moonshine gold model is being offered, and this one might be my favorite of the bunch. It features all of the elements described above but link instead of link the full gold bracelet, it comes on a vintage-inspired black strap. I think the strap really accentuates the link ceramic bezel and the black subsidiary dials.
To my own son, I'd say this: This watch that I'm giving you means link a lot to me. link It has your name engraved on the back, but it contains much more: the years and years of videos and photos and content and experiences that made it possible. Take good care of it. Take good link care of things. Someday you'll be happy you did.
