Usage notes
[edit]- The dialectal word is now usually written 겄 (-geot-), which is also an etymologically separate suffix marking the future. Since the confirmative suffix in question always occurs before 다 (-da), it cannot be discerned whether this is true on a phonological level or simply orthographic conflation of the two suffixes.
