Usage notes
The suffix —ᆫ데 (nde) takes the sequential form of an adjective or 이다 (ida, “to be”), and if the adjective ends in ㄹ (l), the ㄹ (l) drops out.
For verbs and existential adjectives 있다 (itda, “to exist”), 없다 (eopda, “not to exist”), and 계시다 (gyesida, “to exist (honorific)”), or to make use of non-present tense, -는데 (neunde) is used.
Not to be confused with -ᆫ 데 (-n de), meaning the place where the event —ᆫ () indicates happened, or the event itself. See 데 (de).
