Usage notes

으우다 (-euuda) falls under the "completed action" side of the traditional Jeju verb paradigm in that, outside of 으쿠다 (-eukuda), it should only be used after 언 (-eon), and should not refer to recurring or known events, for which 읍네다 (-eumneda) should be used instead.

• Compare:

  이 우와겐 ᄉᆞ미가 너미 질언 나신딘 너미 크우다.

  I uwagen sawmi-ga neomi jir-eon na-sindin neomi keu-uda.

  This dress shirt is too big for me because the sleeves are too long.

  General observation based on a current event, such as having just tried the shirt on.

  이 우와겐 ᄉᆞ미가 너미 질엉 나신딘 너미 큽네다.

  I uwagen sawmi-ga neomi jir-eong na-sindin neomi keum-neda.

  (I know) this dress shirt is too big for me because the sleeves are too long.

  Evidential statement, based on prior experience and recurring events.
