Usage notes
The suffix -ㄴ지 (-nji) 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, -는지 (neunji) is used.
Not to be confused with -ㄴ 지 (-n ji), meaning the time since the event which -ㄴ (-n) indicates happened. See 지 (ji).
