I used to do that all the time as an edgy joke, especially if someone I knew was driving toward me
yeah! I wrote that too and it counted wrong, I was like "what the heck"

I cannot understand, why I always hear "d", when it is "n" at the begining of the word.
In English, we pronounce our N's with our tongues to the top of our mouths, slightly behind the upper teeth. We also give a short "nnn" buildup. Try saying "No" and see if you can recognize that short buildup that makes it sound more like "nnNo."
Koreans make the N noise abruptly without buildup. They also produce the sound between their upper and lower teeth. Pushing the sound out quickly can make it sound like a D.
When viewing the comments, the audio is a female voice, and she clearly pronounces the 'n' sound. The male voice sounds like a garbled mess of "두어요"
- Informal, polite: 누워요 (or past 누웠어요)
- Formal, polite: 눕습니다 (or past 누웠습니다)
The ㅂ consonant stem for this verb morphs into a /w/ if a vowel initial ending is added to it (e.g.: ㅓ요) not for consonant initial endings (e.g.: 습니다).
-eso implies that theyre /from/ a place while -e just means they're there regardless of context
Yes. I'm also thinking that it should be 길에서 instead of 길에 since there's a verb "lies down". I'm confused. I hope someone will answer this. Hehe
I hope this can answer your question! It's a very in-depth answer and I found it helpful. <3
Wait. It should be 길에서 instead of 길에 since there's a verb "lies down" right? Please enlighten me. Thanks

This sounds so similar to 도워요..idk if i spelled it right but how do i tell the difference? Just by the context?
I see that we are talking about THAT friend. Whose turn is it to call the taxi for them?
Is the base verd here 눕다? I wish duolingo would give the unconjugated firm of the verb in the suggetions when you click on word!
