Usage notes
The suffix -는데 (neunde) 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 in the consonant ㄹ (l), it drops out.
To denote the present tense for an ordinary adjective and 이다 (ida, “to be”), use -ㄴ데 (-nde) instead.
Not to be confused with -는 데 (neun de), meaning the place where the event -는 (neun) indicates happened, or the event itself. See 데 (de).
