More About Rejoinders

A rejoinder is a quick, often sharp or witty, reply made in response to a remark, question, or argument.

Key things to remember:

Tone is Crucial: The meaning of many rejoinders (especially "Oh," "Really?," "Interesting," "Okay," "Hmm") depends heavily on your tone of voice.
Context Matters: The same rejoinder can serve different functions depending on the conversation.
Cultural Nuance: Usage and frequency can vary slightly between cultures and regions.
Natural Flow: These are used spontaneously to keep conversation dynamic and show engagement.

리조인더는 남의 발언, 질문 또는 주장에 대한 즉각적이며 종종 재치있거나 날카로운 응답이다.

핵심 포인트:

어조가 중요합니다:
- "Oh," "Really?," "Interesting," "Okay," "Hmm" 등 많은 리조인더는 어조에 따라 의미가 크게 달라집니다.
  (예: "정말?"은 놀람, 의심, 관심 등 다양한 뉘앙스로 사용됨)
맥락이 중요합니다:
- 동일한 리조인더라도 대화의 맥락에 따라 다른 기능을 할 수 있습니다.
  (예: "그렇군요"는 동의, 반어, 냉소 등으로 해석될 수 있음)
문화적 차이를 고려하세요:
- 사용 빈도나 방식은 문화와 지역에 따라 미묘한 차이가 있습니다.
  (예: 한국어에선 "어~", "음~" 같은 추임새가 빈번히 사용됨)
자연스러운 흐름이 핵심입니다:
- 리조인더는 대화를 역동적으로 유지하고 참여도를 보이기 위해 자연스럽게 사용됩니다.
