Long Explanation
The endings '~지요/~죠 [jiyo/jyo]' are used to seek confirmation or agreement from the listener, similar to saying 'isn't it?' or 'right?' in English. They soften the statement and can function like a tag question. The form can be used in varying politeness levels, depending on the overall speech style.
