| Function | Expression |
|---|---|
| Agree | ๋์ํฉ๋๋ค / ๊ณต๊ฐํฉ๋๋ค |
| Partial agreement | ์ผ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ ์์ต๋๋ค๋ง (illi-ga itseumnidaman) |
| Soft objection | ๋ค๋ฅธ ๊ด์ ์์ ๋ณด๋ฉด (dareun gwanjeomeseo bomyeon) |
| Hold | ์ข ๋ ๊ฒํ ๊ฐ ํ์ํ ๋ฏํฉ๋๋ค |
| Take the floor | ํ ๋ง์ ๋๋ ค๋ ๋ ๊น์? |
| Move on | ๋ค์ ์๊ฑด์ผ๋ก ๋์ด๊ฐ๊ฒ ์ต๋๋ค |
๐ก Tip: When disagreeing, soften your wording with endings like '~ใน ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์ต๋๋ค' or '~๋ฏํฉ๋๋ค' instead of a flat '์๋์' (aniyo, no). This conveys both formality and consideration at once.
