Explanation of 겠 in Korean.
Hi guys, so in my Korean studies, I have encountered 겠, e.g. 가겠어요 or 비가 오겠습니다.
I understand that it can be used for intention/future in first and second person statements/questions, but a few things still confuse me.
One particular example is: 모르겠어요.
I know that this means "I don't really know/understand." However, I don't really understand how that construction came to mean that.
If I think literally, I think of it as "I will not know" or "I don't want to know", neither of which imply a sense of being unsure, i.e. they don't imply "I don't really".
I have also found that it can mean "I'll bet...." or "I shall...", but I can't see the connection here. :(
Can anyone help?
지금 조금 한국어 말할 수 있지만 잘 말하고 싶습니다 :D
여러분 고맙습니다.
