Etymology 1
editFirst appears in the late sixteenth century, originally as ᄂᆡ (Yale: -noy).
Traditionally analyzed as a shortening of Middle Korean ᄂᆞᅌᅵ다〮 (Yale: -no-ngì-tá), from ᄂᆞ (Yale: -no-, present-tense suffix) + ᅌᅵ (Yale: -ngì-, listener-honoring suffix) + 다〮 (Yale: -tá, declarative suffix), with the last being fully deleted.
However, Jang Yun-hui suggests that it may be more appropriate to posit 이 (Yale: -i) as a colloquial Middle Korean verb-final suffix, in which case this is a simple compound of ᄂᆞ (Yale: -no-, present-tense suffix) + 이 (Yale: -i).[1]
Suffix
edit네 • (-ne)
- In the familiar style, a declarative suffix.
- In the intimate style, the polite style, or when talking to oneself, an exclamatory suffix conveying a sudden realization.
Usage notes
edit- This suffix elides stem-final ㄹ (l).
