Do Koreans speak too fast for you? Did you hear them, but weren’t sure what they said? In this lesson, learn to ask what that person said, but with a nasty twist! That’s exactly what 지혜 (jihye) does to 소연 (soyeon). She says something that is unbelievable, and just needed to hear it again. So remember to do just that as you learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! And after listening, remember to stop by KoreanClass101.com and leave us a comment!
And remember our Premium Users can access our Grammar Bank, complete with detailed explanations for all the different aspects of Korean grammar, sample sentences to help you retain some of the most difficult Korean grammar, construction of the grammar and its usage, and much more! After listening to our lesson, remember to stop by KoreanClass101.com and leave us a post!

This wasn’t discussed, but presumably “우리 민호 오빠” was a big clue for 수연 that something was up between 민호 and 지혜.
Calling a guy 오빠 doesn’t necessarily mean a dating relationship, but to refer to him as “우리 민호 오빠” implies it pretty strongly-
is that right?
고마와요.

yea Jason, that’s right! calling someone 오빠 isn’t necessarily a big clue, but 우리 민호 오빠 is! Nice observation

I am not really studying this lesson, but I am curious about this usage of 오빠. To my beginner ear, 우리민호오빠 sounds like it means the opposite - that you’re actually trying to “generalize” Minho so as NOT to make him sound like a boyfriend. Could you explain the nuance in that expression that makes it imply a dating relationship?
I am also curious to know if there’s an age limit to using the word 오빠 as a boyfriend title. Nowadays you probably could find a Korean-speaking, 45-year-old divorced woman with a boyfriend, but I have trouble picturing her calling him 오빠

The hosts seemed to be in a goofy mood while recording this episode.

Bouks, there isn’t really an age limit to calling someone an 오빠 and I even think it’s very cute when some 할머니 calls a 할아버지 ‘오빠’ ^_^

Most of the example sentences in the PDF use -니 instead of ~라니…
from the grammar bank:
‘그런데’라니?
‘가기 싫다’니, 무슨 말이야?
Is it used both ways?
Jeff (Javis) says:

Read it again a little more closely.
-라니 is used for nouns or direct quotations.
verb stem + -다니 is used for indirect quotations.
Jeff (Javis) says:

Sorry, that’s plain declaration form, which is formed from the verb stem, but is not equivalent to the verb stem for action verbs.
