-(으)ㄹ 리가 없다

There's no way that…

Taught in Level 4, Unit 2: If only…, probably…, even if…

-(으)ㄹ 텐데 says 'it must be so'. The mirror image is 'it can't be so — there is no way' when something contradicts what you know. Every learner needs this short, strong reaction.

Example

  • 이 식당은 항상 사람이 많은데 맛이 없을 리가 없어요.

    This restaurant is always full, so there's no way the food is bad.

The full explanation is in the unit · part of the Level 4 Pass, opening soon · Level 4, Unit 2

If only…, probably…, even if…
