Long Explanation
The ending '~지요 [jiyo]' is used in Korean to echo or affirm the statement preceding it. This is similar to English phrases like 'right?' or 'isn't it?'. The speaker uses this ending to seek agreement or affirmation from the listener. It is usually used in declarative or interrogative sentences and can be used in both formal and informal contexts.
