"We now understand."

Translation: 우리는 이제 이해했습니다.

[CF00l]

우리는 이제 理解했습니다.

Why is it in past tense if the translation is present tense?

[oee16]

• Korean past tense is different to British past tense in that it does not imply "completion in the past".

• Korean past tense is used to indicate an action/event started in the past whether the action/event goes on into the present is irrelevant.

• Here, it implies that "the understanding" already happened before the actual statement is made.

• The Time-Span of korean tenses is a difficult concept to grasp. Just have to practice.
