what does the korean term "검다니" mean?
Say for example someone says, "피가 검다니" or "심장이 검다니" what does that mean? Is it like a slang?
Thanks!!

검다니 is composed of
검+다니
검(다) means "black, dark"
다니 is a suffix used to express that certain fact or situation is amazing or unbelievable (I can't believe that <V/A/N attached>)
피가 검다 means "blood is black"
피가 검다니 means "I can't belive that blood is black".
