I'm confused about this one sentence...

"순이야, 우리 누가누가 빨리 뛰나 시합할까? "

Is it, "Sun-i, shall we play a quick running game?" Haha.. could some one break it down for me, please? Thanks... :)

Hey iheartkimbeom,

Glad to see you studying!

The sentence means, "Sun-i, shall we have a race to see who's the fastest?"
But literally that sentence means "suni, we, who fast, run, race, shall we?"

누가누가 is just 누가 repeated. This happens with question words often in Korean.

Let me know if I can explain it further. Or if you need more help.
