In what situation you can use ~구만 and ~구나? 안녕하세요! 친구들, Can you please explain in what situation you can use expression ~구만 and ~구나? What makes them different? I think I get the feel when I can use ~구나, but still cannot differentiate it from ~구만. If you can give some examples, that would be really helpful. 고마워요! ^^

~구만 is a wrong form of ~구먼 ~구먼 has same meaning and usage with ~구나 The difference is in speech levels. ~구먼 is Hage-che(하게체) It is used only - by some older people when addressing younger people, friends, or in-laws in a friendly manner - between adult male friends, occasionally - in novels ex) 자네는 돈이 별로 없구먼! ~구나 is Haera-che(해라체) It is used - to close friends or relatives of similar age, and by adults to children - in impersonal writing (books, newspapers, and magazines) and indirect quotations ("She said that...") - in grammar books, to give examples - in some exclamations ex) 날이 밝았구나!
