Significado
Confirming that what the other person said is correct.
Contexto cultural
Agreement is a way to maintain 'Face' and social harmony. Saying 'Exactly' validates the other person's status. The phrase is a staple of 'commuter culture.' It's the most common response to complaints about the BTS or traffic. In LINE stickers, you will often see characters pointing and saying 'นั่นสิ' to represent agreement. The choice between 'ก็นั่นนะสิ' and 'เห็นด้วย' (I agree) is a marker of social distance.
The 'Na' Stretch
Stretch the 'na' sound (ก็นั่นน๊าาาสิ) to show you've been frustrated by this point for a long time.
Don't Overuse
If you say it after every sentence, you might sound like you're not actually listening or just being lazy.
