Pre-registerWhat does 나올 거 같은데 mean?
나올 거 같은데 means "it looks like something will come out" in Korean.
How it works here
The verb stem ‘나오-’ combines with ‘-ㄹ 것 같다’ to express a guess about a possibility. The ending ‘-는데’ leaves the thought unfinished and creates a lingering feeling.
Key expression
V-ㄹ 것 같다
To guess, based on evidence, that something may happen
‘V-ㄹ 것 같다’ expresses a guess rather than a definite statement. With verbs, it can express a future or present possibility, and it can also follow adjectives. It is less definite than ‘-겠다’, and ‘아마’ strengthens the sense of guessing.
When it's used
Used to cautiously predict what may happen or what something may become based on what is visible or felt.
