"왜 눈치가 없어?"

Translation: Why are you slow-witted?

[LesChristiansen]

Given a previous correct answer, the phrase indicates the lack of tact. This would imply that the person is curt, abrupt,or evem rude.

[coloursky]

No, more like "clueless" or "dense"

In the sentence about the mother asking, 눈치 is translated "tact." Another sentence says, "Koreans like people who have tact," using 눈치. So I put, "Why are you tactless?" [a very tactless question!]. The program marked it wrong. Oct. 14, 2019.

Your translation in my opinion is closer to the definition of 눈치 없다.

Just as I think 눈치 있다 should be interpreted as "savvy", 눈치 없다 should be interpreted as "imperceptible" which does not indicate a low IQ (low EI, emotional intelligence perhaps)

Slow-witted on the other hand means low IQ. Wrong choice for word.

[LesChristiansen]

The subject is not given. It copuld just as easily been "Why am I slow witted." Asking a Korean this question to his or her face is about the biggest insult I can think of and would likely end any friendship or relationship. It is a 큰 일! You're calling them stupid!!!

The answer should be changed or the statement should be remomoved.

The english sentence is better translated to 왜 우둔해?

[Pamela909830]

What does 우둔해 mean?

[oee16]

우둔 - (noun) inanity, vacuity

우둔하다 - be vacant, empty-headed, ... stupid.

[oee16]

It takes a lot of efforts to get there...

[oee16]

눈치 없다 = emotionally inept, unsavvy ...
