Polite 'is', after a consonant

The polite 'to be' after a noun ending in a consonant, properly spelled 이에요. Five of these eight lines are its negative 아니에요, which functions as plain 'no' or 'that's not it' and is worth learning as a single unit. It is the everyday polite ending; 입니다 is the formal equivalent. Its twin 예요 is the same word after a vowel-final noun — the split is purely about the sound in front.
