Th is expression is used w hen the speaker st ates an unconfirmed assumption or supposition about a future event or something he or she is not sure about. It is used only among close friends and appears in conversational form only, not in written form. -(£)2~R ~1-71
The expression -(.£)2~ can also represent the contracted form of -(.£)2 ~
:J.'ll!CI, in which :J.'ll!CI has been omitted. As such, it can also
be used to express the speaker's feeling of regret about a past event. For this reason, you must pay special attention to this form when it is used informally because it can mean either supposition or regret depending on the situation. (See Chapter 25 Expressing Regret, 01 -(.£) 2

This expression is used when asking for clarification or reconfirmation of what another person has just said. The speaker repeats what the other person just finished saying as a way of asking for c larification about something t hat was not und erstood clearly or t hat was hard t o believe. For this reason, t he form of t he expression depends on t he form in which the first speaker originally made the statement. Then, because t he speaker is asking the other person for c larification, the particle £. is added to the end of the indirect citation form.

Because this expression refers to something the speaker directly saw or heard, the subject of the sentence cannot be the speaker. That is, the sentence cannot be in the first person.
The first person subject can be used when expressing a person's mood, emotions, or feelings. When the third person is used, the form A+Of/ Oi5fq must be used.
~~LJCf. While roughly equivalent in meaning to -Ci2(R) or -Ci2.f. this expression carries a slightly stronger sense of emphasis. However, while -Ci2(R) can be used with both honorific speech and familiar speech styles, - Ci2.f can only be used with familiar speech.
This expression is the combined form of - Ci-, which indicates recollection, and -{.2.)L C11R. whic h indicates background information and a contradictory or surprising situation. Accordingly, it is used when expressing something contradictory to what the other person has just said or when expressing t he speaker's feelings of surprise toward a past event or particular situation. ---------~--~-,
