could be interpreted in two ways without more context.
1. The person asked me/us if she/he is our teacher.
2. (Someone else) asked me/us if the person is our teacher.

@Forever_young Yes, thank you! I was thinking the same thing but was not sure. So with more context, two Korean speakers would know which sentence is the correct one, right?
- Korean
@saphirastar Yes you are right.
but I think #2 is more probable. It's just my opinion.

@Forever_young ok! what about this sentence: 지민이가 뭘 좋아하냐고 물어봤어요.
Can you interpret it like this?
1) Jimin asked someone what he/she/they like.
2) Someone asked what Jimin likes. (most probable?)

@saphirastar I'm neutral about that this time. hahaha they are both strong candidates 50/50

@Forever_young haha okay! I think it has to do with the overall meaning of the sentence. :) Thank you for your help~

@Forever_young Can you also translate 그 사람이 우리 선생님이냐고 물어봤어
to "I asked if that person is our teacher"?
to "I asked if that person is our teacher"?
- Korean
@saphirastar
It's more like my experience and feelings than overall meaning. Some Korean people could not agree with me.
yes you can interpret it like that too.
