Usage notes

The suffix 냐 (nya) takes the sequential form of an adjective and 이다 (ida, “to be”), but colloquially can also be directly appended to the stem of a verb or an adjective with vulgar sense. In both case, the consonant ㄹ (l) drops out, if any.

For the literary sense, verbs, existential adjectives 있다 (itda, “to exist”), 없다 (eopda, “not to exist”), and 계시다 (gyesida, “to exist (honorific)”), and adjectives with non-present tense are followed by 느냐 (neunya) instead.
