Etymology 1
First appears in the late sixteenth century, originally as -ᄂᆡ -noy.
Traditionally analyzed as a shortening of ko okm - -ᄂᆞᅌᅵ다〮 -no-ngì-tá, from -ᄂᆞ- -no- present-tense suffix + -ᅌᅵ- -ngì- listener-honoring suffix + -다〮 -tá declarative suffix, with the last being fully deleted.
However, Jang Yun-hui suggests that it may be more appropriate to posit -이 -i as a colloquial Middle Korean verb-final suffix, in which case this is a simple compound of -ᄂᆞ- -no- present-tense suffix + -이 -i.ko:중세국어 종결어미 '(-으)이'의 분석과 그 문법사적 의의 Analysis of the Middle Korean sentence ender (-u)i and its significance in grammatical history ko:장윤희 Gugeohak 30 1997 103—140
