==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==
