LEVEL 5 LESSON 18

The verb ending -(으)ㄴ/는지 is basically used with verbs related to knowing, guessing, in-

forming, thinking, etc, for expressing the meaning “whether or not”.

It can also be used with words such as 누구 (who), 어디 (where), 어떻게 (how), 왜 (why), 언제

(where), 뭐 (what) and 얼마나 (how + adverb/adjective) to mark the end of a question inside a

compound sentence.

Conjugation:

(1) Action verbs

- Verb stem + -는지

Ex)

먹다 → 먹는지

사다 → 사는지

- When the verb stem ends with ㄹ, you drop the ㄹ and add -는지

Ex)

놀다 → 노는지

풀다 → 푸는지

(2) Descriptive verbs

- Verb stems ending with a vowel + -ㄴ지

(The verb 이다 (to be) is included in this category as well.)
