어디 가는 길 밎은 대답음
*어디 가는 길 맞은 대답음

I know in Korean that asking 'where are you going?' can be similar to asking 'how are you?' in English. So if someone asks me '어디 가는 길이에요?' in Korean can I answer '네', or does the speaker actually want to know where I am going?

I know in Korean that asking 'where are you going?' can be similar to asking 'how are you?' in English. So if someone asks me '어디 가는 길이에요?' in Korean can I answer '네', or does the speaker actually want to know where I am going?

Answer

It can be one of below:

1. Where are you going?
2. Are you going to somewhere?

depending on the context and accent.

1. when the accent is on "어디"
2. when the accent is on "가는" with a short break after "어디"

1. a precise answer is expected (시장에 가요 -  I'm going to the market)
2. You can answer with yes/no, or optionally, tell roughly where you are heading. (네, 물건 살 게 있어서요... - Yes, I need some supplies.)

Answer

yeah! speaker want to know where are u going, so If someone ask 어디 가는길이에요? you should answer like 집가는 길이에요!

Answer

if you just say '네',  the guy you talk with may think you ignore him.
