Also spelled neunji, nunjiyo

Politely asking, softly formal

A soft, formal way of putting a question, at home in interviews and in written greetings: how have you been all this time, did you sleep comfortably last night, what difficulties did you face. It sounds deferential and slightly old-fashioned, which is why two of these captions use it for a period-drama or letter-writing effect. Compare 나요, which asks the same thing more warmly and less formally.

Register: polite and formal; courteous
