TL;DR 🦄
- ✅ -다지요? [-da-ji-yo] means “I hear/understand that… right?” or “They say… don’t they?”
- 👂 It confirms a fact you heard, read, or already believe is true. It is related to quoted speech plus -지요? [-ji-yo], the “right?” confirmation ending.
- 🧩 It changes by sentence type: 간다지요? [gan-da-ji-yo] = I hear they’re going, right?, 맛있다지요? [ma-sit-da-ji-yo] = I hear it’s tasty, right?, 학생이라지요? [hak-saeng-i-ra-ji-yo] = I hear they’re a student, right?
🎧 Iru Helper Note — Use 
Korean Helper Widgets to hear 내일 간다지요? [nae-il gan-da-ji-yo], 그 식당이 유명하다지요? [geu sik-dang-i yu-myeong-ha-da-ji-yo], and 그분이 의사라지요? [geu-bu-ni ui-sa-ra-ji-yo]. This ending should sound like a calm fact-check, not a dramatic rumor alarm. 🕵️
🌈 The Big Picture
-다지요? [-da-ji-yo] is used when you are confirming information that has already reached you somehow.
It often feels like:
- “I hear that… right?”
- “I understand that… correct?”
- “They say that… don’t they?”
- “As I’ve heard, … right?”
Example:
- 그 식당이 유명하다지요?
[geu sik-dang-i yu-myeong-ha-da-ji-yo]
I hear that restaurant is famous, right? 🍜
식당 [sik-dang] = restaurant, 유명하다 [yu-myeong-ha-da] = to be famous.
Tiny grammar map:
- 유명하다 = “is famous”
- 유명하다고 하다 = “say that it is famous”
- 유명하다지요? = “I hear it is famous, right?”
So this lesson sits between two things you already know:
- -지요? / -죠? = “right?” / seeking agreement 🤝
- quotation-style endings like -다고 하다 = “say that…” 🗣️
🎨 The Core -다지요? Family
1. Action verbs
Use quoted-action shapes:
- 받침 없는 동사 어간 + ㄴ다지요?
- 받침 있는 동사 어간 + 는다지요?
Examples:
- 가다 → 간다지요? [ga-da → gan-da-ji-yo] = I hear they’re going, right?
- 오다 → 온다지요? [o-da → on-da-ji-yo] = I hear they’re coming, right?
- 먹다 → 먹는다지요? [meok-da → meong-neun-da-ji-yo] = I hear they eat/are eating, right?
- 읽다 → 읽는다지요? [ik-da → ing-neun-da-ji-yo] = I hear they read/are reading, right?
- 살다 → 산다지요? [sal-da → san-da-ji-yo] = I hear they live, right?
2. Descriptive verbs / adjectives
Use:
- 형용사 어간 + 다지요?
Examples:
- 맛있다 → 맛있다지요? [ma-sit-da → ma-sit-da-ji-yo] = I hear it’s tasty, right?
- 어렵다 → 어렵다지요? [eo-ryeop-da → eo-ryeop-da-ji-yo] = I hear it’s difficult, right?
- 멀다 → 멀다지요? [meol-da → meol-da-ji-yo] = I hear it’s far, right?
- 비싸다 → 비싸다지요? [bi-ssa-da → bi-ssa-da-ji-yo] = I hear it’s expensive, right?
3. Nouns
Use:
- 받침 있는 명사 + 이라지요?
- 받침 없는 명사 + 라지요?
Examples:
- 학생 → 학생이라지요? [hak-saeng → hak-saeng-i-ra-ji-yo] = I hear they’re a student, right?
- 의사 → 의사라지요? [ui-sa → ui-sa-ra-ji-yo] = I hear they’re a doctor, right?
- 휴일 → 휴일이라지요? [hyu-il → hyu-il-i-ra-ji-yo] = I hear it’s a holiday, right?
- 친구 → 친구라지요? [chin-gu → chin-gu-ra-ji-yo] = I hear they’re a friend, right?
🛠️ How It Works in a Sentence
1. Confirming a heard fact
- 민수가 한국어를 잘한다지요?
[min-su-ga han-gu-geo-reul jal-han-da-ji-yo]
I hear Minsu speaks Korean well, right? 🇰🇷
민수 [min-su] = Minsu, 한국어를 [han-gu-geo-reul] = Korean as the object, 잘하다 [jal-ha-da] = to do well.
2. Confirming a description
- 그 카페가 조용하다지요?
[geu ka-pe-ga jo-yong-ha-da-ji-yo]
I hear that café is quiet, right? ☕
카페 [ka-pe] = café, 조용하다 [jo-yong-ha-da] = to be quiet.
3. Confirming identity
- 그분이 선생님이라지요?
[geu-bu-ni seon-saeng-ni-mi-ra-ji-yo]
I hear that person is a teacher, right? 👩🏫
그분 [geu-bun] = that person respectfully, 선생님 [seon-saeng-nim] = teacher.
🧩 General Formation Rule
Think of -다지요? as a compact confirmation form built from reported information:
-다고 하지요? → -다지요?
Practical shapes:
- Action verb, no batchim: 가다 → 간다지요?
- Action verb, with batchim: 먹다 → 먹는다지요?
- Descriptive verb/adjective: 춥다 → 춥다지요?
- Noun with batchim: 학생 → 학생이라지요?
- Noun without batchim: 의사 → 의사라지요?
- Past: 갔다지요? [gat-da-ji-yo] = I hear they went, right?
- Future/plan: 갈 거라지요? [gal geo-ra-ji-yo] = I hear they’re going to go, right?
🚨 Nuance Rule: -다지요? vs -다면서요?
Both can confirm heard information, but the feeling is different.
-다지요?
Calmer, more “I understand/hear this is true.” It can sound a little more formal, literary, careful, or older-fashioned than very casual speech.
- 내일 출발한다지요?
[nae-il chul-bal-han-da-ji-yo]
I understand they’re leaving tomorrow, right? 🚆
-다면서요?
More conversational and direct: “I heard…, right?” It can sometimes sound like you are bringing up what someone said or checking a rumor.
- 내일 출발한다면서요?
[nae-il chul-bal-han-da-myeon-seo-yo]
I heard they’re leaving tomorrow, right? 🚆
-지요? / -죠?
Confirms shared knowledge without necessarily showing “I heard this from elsewhere.”
- 내일 출발하죠?
[nae-il chul-bal-ha-jyo]
They’re leaving tomorrow, right? 🚆
📚 Cross-check note
This lesson’s related -지요 / -죠 confirmation use and quoted-style formation were checked against 국립국어원 / korean.go.kr resources. Korean.go.kr confirms that -죠 is the shortened form of -지요; this lesson applies that confirmation idea to reported-information shapes like 간다지요? and 학생이라지요?. ✅
🪞 Synonym Alert
- -다지요? [-da-ji-yo] = I hear/understand that…, right? Calm confirmation. ✅
- -다죠? [-da-jyo] = shortened spoken form of -다지요?. 🗣️
- -다면서요? [-da-myeon-seo-yo] = I heard that…, right? More conversational/direct. 👂
- -대요 [-dae-yo] = They say… / I heard that… Statement, not a confirmation question. 📣
- -더라고요 [-deo-ra-go-yo] = I personally found/noticed… 🔎
⚠️ Pitfalls to Dodge
- ❌ Using -다지요? for your own direct discovery → ✅ use -더라고요.
- ❌ 먹다지요? for “I hear they eat, right?” → ✅ 먹는다지요? — action verbs with batchim use -는다.
- ❌ 가다지요? for present “I hear they go, right?” → ✅ 간다지요? — action verbs without batchim use -ㄴ다.
- ❌ 학생라지요? → ✅ 학생이라지요? — noun with batchim uses 이라지요?.
- ⚠️ Do not overuse it in casual texting. In everyday speech, -다죠? or -다면서요? may sound more natural depending on the setting.
