What is the difference between 네가 보고 싶어 & 너를 보고 싶어?
If I remember correctly, does '가' (조사) in 네가 보고 싶어 place emphasis on who you miss/want to see? How can you tell if 네가 보고 싶어 means "I miss you/it's you that I miss" or "you want to see"? I know it probably depends on the context of the conversation, but what happens if you just see it out of context and just by itself? Can Korean native speakers understand which meaning it has in this case?

If you wanna say "I miss you", you have to say "네가 보고 싶어" or "네가 그리워".
And...
Hm...
I've never used "너를 보고 싶어". It means "I want to see you." "See" vs. "Miss" lol.
I know those have same words, "보고 싶다." But this sentence has two meanings.
One is "Miss" another one is "Want to see".

The interrogative sentence of Korean is formed with interrogative sentence ending, "-ㅂ니까, -습니까, -아/어/여/지+요, -니, -나, etc."
You want to see me?
Do you want to see me?
너는 나를 보고 싶니?
너는 내가 보고 싶니?
Do you miss me, too?
너도 내가 그립니? 그립다.
너도 나를 그리워하니? 그립다+하다, 그리워하다
