Maybe it would work if you spoke louder in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Word-by-word breakdown and formation:
• 네가 (nega): “you” with the subject marker 가 attached.
• 더 (deo): “more.”
• 크게 (keuge): The adverbial form of 크다 (“big” or “loud”), meaning “loudly.”
• 말한다면 (malhandamyeon): The conditional form of 말하다 (“to speak”), where -다면 means “if … , then.”
• 통할지도 몰라 (tonghaljido molla): 통하다 here means “to work” or “to be effective.” The ending -지도 몰라 expresses uncertainty, translating as “maybe” or “might.”

Tips to remember:
• Note that adverbs like 더 and 크게 precede the verb they modify.
• The conditional -다면 is a common way of setting conditions in Korean.
• The uncertain ending -지도 몰라 is used to express a possibility without certainty.
