What 래 means
Bare 래 does not identify which Korean word or ending is meant.
Look at the surrounding word or sentence: this Hangul syllable block can be part of either. In one conversational use, -래 can question or push back on a claim or order; -ㄹ래 can ask about or express an informal intention. These are different grammatical patterns, not two translations of the block.
Hangul was created in 1443 to write Korean, and its guide, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446. Earlier systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean.
A conversational -래 may challenge a claim; 래 inside a longer word carries no such tone by itself.
Don't assign bare 래 one fixed translation.
