一TOPIK 1-2

N입니다

is / are

Turns a noun into a formal statement of fact. Use it to introduce someone, identify an object, or announce something. It sits one step above the -이에요／예요 of everyday speech, so it belongs in presentations, written notices, and anything you say to a client.

접속 conjugation

  • Attaches straight to the noun, whether or not it ends in a consonant: 학생 → 학생입니다 ／ 의사 → 의사입니다
  • For a question, swap 다 for 까: 담당자입니다 → 담당자입니까?
  • The negative is a different word: N이/가 아닙니다 — 학생이 아닙니다

※Do not negate it with 안 in front. 「안 학생입니다」 is wrong. 입니다 has its own negative form, 아닙니다, so you say 「학생이 아닙니다」 — and the particle changes from 은/는 to 이/가 as well.
