Tell vs Hear in korean
Hi, I recently knew about a drama 너의 목소리가 들려.

I know 너의=your, 목소리=voice, 들려=tell. So I don't understand how this get translated into "I hear your voice".

I thought there might be two meanings for the same word? If so, could you give me sentences that convey both meanings?

Answer

It's because "to hear" can be "들리다(intransitive verb)" or "듣다(transitive verb)".
"To tell" just means "말하다", but "to be told" can be "들리다".

Answer

To know someone's voice means we recognise it.
