읍니다

Formal polite statement ending

This is the formal statement ending you otherwise meet as 습니다, in the shape it takes after certain verb stems. Every one of the eight lines printed here is the same single word, and none of them carries an English translation, so there is nothing to show what else this ending does or how it varies. What can be said is that it is the formal register of narration and reporting, and that several of these lines are relaying what somebody else said. Treat this entry as partial.
