Expression of the Week

꿈에도 몰랐지 (have no idea)

~도 – postpositional particle used when giving an extreme case in order to show that it is obvious in another case.

Casual – 꿈에도 몰랐지

Semi/Polite – 꿈에도 몰랐어요

>> This expression is used when you have never thought about the fact mentioned at all.

>>The phrase literally means “I didn’t even know it in my dreams” and means I didn’t even think something like that could happen in my dreams, so it means “I had no idea.” 

>>In the dialogue, the expression is used negatively, but it can also be used positively as in “I had no idea my friends would throw a party for me”  “친구들이 나를 위해 파티를 열어줄 줄 꿈에도 몰랐다.”
