-으이
See also: -으이-
Korean
Etymology
From a colloquial Middle Korean suffix -으이〮/ᄋᆞ이〮 (Yale: -uí/oí), more commonly attested in the sixteenth century. The traditional interpretation sees this as from -으〮ᅌᅵ/ᄋᆞ〮ᅌᅵ- (Yale: -úngì/óngì-, addressee-honoring suffix); compare Southeastern Korean 으이 (-eu'i-). However, Jang Yun-hui rejects this..[1]
In either case, related to verbal endings 네 (-ne), 데 (-de), possibly 소 (-so).
Pronunciation
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ɯi]
