The document discusses the Korean grammar pattern of using a noun with 아니다. 아니다 means "to not be" and is used to negate statements like "I am a man" or "You are a woman". Unlike 이다, 아니다 is not attached to the noun. The noun takes subject markers 이 or 가 depending on pronunciation. 아니다 can be conjugated into 아닙니다 (formal), 아니에요 (polite), and 아니야 (casual) for present tense, and 아니었습니다, 아니었어요, and 아니었어 for past tense. Examples of the pattern in use are provided.

NOUN + 아니다
—

Let’s take a look at the Korean pattern Noun + 아니다. 아니다 is the negative counterpart of 이다 and it is what
we use when saying things like I am not a man or You are not a woman. In other words, it is the verb for
to be not someone/something. Unlike 이다, it is not attached to the noun. In fact, the noun takes the
subject markers 이 or 가 depending on the final sound, but they are pretty much dropped in conversations. You
can conjugate it into the following: 아닙니다 (formal), 아니에요 (polite), and 아니야 (casual). In past tense, you
can conjugate it into 아니었습니다 (formal), 아니었어요 (polite), and 아니었어 (casual).

저는 한국 사람이 아닙니다.
I am not Korean.
(present-formal)

제 책임이 아니에요.
That is not my responsibility.
(present-polite)
