Usage notes
- 아니다 (anida) is the Korean negative copula. Along with its positive, -이다 (-ida), it is often categorized as a Korean adjective, but often placed in their own grammatical category distinct from both verbs and adjectives. Unlike -이다 (-ida), 아니다 (anida) is not appended to the preceding word, but written after an intervening space.
- 아니다 (anida) and 되다 (doeda) are the only two Korean words that take a subject complement, which is marked with case marker -이 (-i) / -가 (-ga).
