question
manga english-to-japanese japanese-to-english
what does "そうなんだよな" mean? (in the context of the following sentence/image))
I'm still studying Japanese and live in Japan, so please take my words with a
grain of salt when compared to an actual fluent speaker.

I think that なん in this case is used to emphasize the previous word: "そう". So
without なん the sentence would be: そうです which has the feeling of the meaning-
"that's right..." or "oh, yeah...( it's true that...)". Again, sorry if I
can't actually encapsulate the meaning.

So, if I were to hazard a guess - it would just be that: "That's
_**right**_.."
