뜻
Used to express that something is not surprising, given the circumstances.
문화적 배경
Americans often use this in casual, fast-paced work environments to quickly acknowledge a problem. British speakers might use 'Small wonder' as a slightly more polite or understated version. In international business, it is a neutral way to address failures without sounding overly aggressive.
Keep it short
You don't need to add 'that' after 'no wonder'. It sounds more natural without it.
Don't be rude
Avoid saying 'No wonder' when someone is sharing a personal struggle, as it can sound like you are blaming them.
