Usage notes

ᆸ니다 (mnida) is used after verbs and adjectives with no finals or (l), which falls out. For example,

가— (ga-, “to go”) + ᆸ니다 (mnida) = 갑니다 (gamnida)
알— (al-, “to know”) + ᆸ니다 (mnida) = 압니다 (amnida)

습니다 (seumnida) is used otherwise; that is, after verbs and adjectives with finals that are not (l). For example,

먹— (meok-, “to eat”) + 습니다 (seumnida) = 먹습니다 (meokseumnida)
