When you'd hear it
This is common in conversational Korean, especially when correcting someone or insisting on information already stated. It appears often in dramas and everyday speech among friends, family, or coworkers, but can sound impatient or defensive depending on intonation.
What learners get wrong
Learners often confuse this with -다고 하다, which neutrally reports what someone said. -(ㄴ/는)다니까/(이)라니까 directly reasserts the speaker’s earlier statement and often carries emphasis.
