Description
Adjective/Verb + 잖아요: This grammar pattern is used when both the speaker and listener(s) know a mutual fact. This can't always be translated directly to a particular English phrase or may sound awkward directly translating, since saying the other person already knows something can be known just on the context.
Notes
- 있잖아. 있잖아요. as a standalone statement is often used when someone is trying to think of something and in the process of trying to figure out what to say.
Conjugation Rule
| Pattern | Case | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rule 1: | Adjective/Verb + 잖아요 | If there is no 받침 or if the adjective/verb stem has ㄹ as a 받침 | 이쁘다 → 이쁘잖아요 |
| Rule 2: | Adjective/Verb + 잖아요 | If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem | 있다 → 있잖아요 없다 → 없잖아요 |
