意味: I know exactly what you mean; I completely agree because I've experienced the same thing.

可不是嘛；我完全同意，因为我也经历过同样的事。

Sé perfectamente a qué te refieres; estoy totalmente de acuerdo porque he vivido lo mismo.

本当にその通り。まったく同感、自分も同じ経験をしたから。

정말 그래; 나도 같은 경험을 했기 때문에 완전히 공감해.

Despite sounding like a request for more information, this is actually an expression of strong agreement. It means 'you don't have to tell me — I already know how bad/annoying/true that is.' Used to commiserate.

虽然听起来像是在请求对方提供更多信息，但实际上是一种强烈表示赞同的说法。意思是'你不用告诉我——我早就知道有多糟糕/多烦人/多真实了'。用于表达共鸣和同感。

Aunque suene como una petición de más información, en realidad es una expresión de total acuerdo. Significa 'no hace falta que me lo cuentes, ya sé lo malo/molesto/cierto que es'. Se usa para solidarizarse con alguien.

情報を求めているように聞こえるが、実際には強い同意を表す表現。「言わなくても分かるよ——どれだけひどい（うっとうしい・本当か）はもう知ってる」という意味。共感し合うときに使う。

더 자세히 말해달라는 요청처럼 들리지만, 실제로는 강한 동의를 나타내는 표현이다. '굳이 말 안 해도 돼 — 그게 얼마나 짜증나는지/안 좋은지 나도 이미 알아'라는 뜻이다. 서로 공감하며 위로할 때 사용한다.
