Description

Adjective/Verb + 지요 : This grammar pattern can be used in various ways:

  1. Used like a tag question in English, mini questions we put at the end of a sentence and invite the listener to agree with you, usually on some fact or topic you both know about. If you are using this pattern like a tag question, you must use a rising intonation when speaking.
  2. For giving information about something. This pattern uses a falling intonation when spoken. If used as a reply to someone else, can give a slight feeling of "of course ~."
  3. For non tag question it used when you know the other person knows something, especially when asking yourself a question or having someone confirm or recheck a fact. The intonation is different from when asking a tag question(see the audio examples below).

Notes

  • This grammar pattern can also be used with nouns if combined with the verb 이다 to make the pattern Noun + 이지요.
  • 지요 is pronounced 죠 and can be contracted to 죠 in spelling form as well.
  • There is a polite command form for when combined with the honorific 시 tag. See V + 시지요

Conjugation Rule

A/V + 지요

Conjugation Rule
Pattern Case Example
Rule 1: A/V + 지요 If there is no 받침 or if the adjective/verb stem has ㄹ as a 받침 가다→가지요
Rule 2: A/V + 지요 If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem 알다→알지요


N + 지요

Conjugation Rule
Pattern Case Example
Rule 1: N + 지요 If there is no 받침 or if the adjective/verb stem has ㄹ as a 받침 개→개지요
Rule 2: N + 이지요 If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem 선생님→선생님이지요


Conjugation Examples

  • 가다 (to go) → 가지요
  • 알다 (to know) → 알지요
  • 예쁘다 (to be pretty) → 예쁘지요
  • 춥다 (to be cold) → 춥지요
  • 덥다 (to be hot) →덥지요
  • 선생님 (teacher) → 선생님이지요
