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. As a general ending when asking any kind of question. 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.
