What does 다 mean?

다 means "All of them; everyone or everything." in Korean.

How it works here

‘다’ refers to the entire group of people or things. In this sentence, it is used with ‘있네’ and ‘있어’ to mean that everything is there without anything missing.

When it's used

Used when saying that every person or thing is included, without a single one missing. It can refer collectively to people, objects, tasks, or states.

The line

누구 없어? 다 있네? 다 있어, 다 있어

Is anyone missing? Everyone's here, huh? Everyone's here, everyone.

A situation in which someone checks all at once whether any people or things are missing.

Show the answer

All people or things; everything

Similar to ‘전부’ (all/everything), but more colloquial and concise. In a sentence, it usually comes before the predicate or is used with a particle; repetition emphasizes it. Depending on the situation, ‘다’ can sound like ‘모두’ (everyone/all) or ‘전부’ (everything/all).
