Usage notes
The suffix 느냐 (neunya) is directly attached to the stem of a verb, or existential adjectives 있다 (itda, “to exist”), 없다 (eopda, “not to exist”), or 계시다 (gyesida, “to exist (honorific)”), or adjectives and 이다 (ida, “to be”) with past or future tense. If the stem ends with the consonant ㄹ (l), it drops out.
To denote the present tense for an ordinary adjective or 이다 (ida, “to be”), use 냐 (nya) instead.
