아닙니다 (Not to be) in Korean || Formal

In this post we're going learn to make this kind of sentences in Korean
👇

"It is not (a) noun."

In a formal way using 아닙니다. It is often used in written documents, formal speeches, and polite conversations.

By the way I've used these nouns below to teach the structure of the sentence. I request you to learn these nouns before going ahead.

Written Syntax:

Use these syntaxes while writing.

for nouns ending with a consonant sound:

Noun + 이 아닙니다 (i anibnida) = It is not (a) noun.

Note:

• 이 is a subject particle.
• You don't need to know its meaning.
• Keep space between 이 and 아닙니다.

Examples:

for nouns ending with a vowel sound:

Noun + 가 아닙니다 (ga anibnida) = It is not (a) noun.

Note:

• 가 is a subject particle too.
• There's no need to know its meaning also.
• Keep space between 가 and 아닙니다.

Examples:

Spoken Syntax:

Use this syntax while speaking.

Noun + 아닙니다 (anibnida) = It is not (a) noun.

Note:

• 이/가 is omitted here, making the sentence less formal.
• By the way, there's no problem to use Written Syntax while speaking.

Examples:

Note:

• Keep a space between a noun and 아닙니다.

Fact:

Did you notice that every noun ending with a consonant had the subject particle starting with a vowel sound, and every noun ending with a vowel had the subject particle starting with a consonant sound. It's like opposite attraction 🧲.

Finally, we have these sentences with their Korean meanings and pronunciations:

1. It's not a house.
