"너는 전화가 있느냐?"

Translation: Do you have a phone?

[LiKenun]

This is the formal non-polite non-past interrogative of 있다.

The other non-past forms are:

• 있어 (informal non-polite)

• 있어요 (informal polite)

• 있습니까 (formal polite)

[SvedishPlumber]

Formal non-polite...thats hard to wrap my head around

[Padi_Evans]

I suppose a boss could say it to their employees.

A boss could be formal and also impolite to his employees.

[-RHCP-]

This is very rarely used in oral speech, I don't think I've ever heard it be used.

[raemation]

So who would you say it to?

[dbthdus]

Its a written form ao you would write in poetry or read it in a book i believe. Its not really something you say.

[Renee169426]

Kids, people a lot younger than you.

[GiovanniSantucci]

Those look like present tense (not past tense as you say)?

[Wanda_1212]

Is there any difference between -느냐 and -니 ?

[learningjunho]

Problem itself is wrong. -느냐 is very old-style. you cannot hear it except you're watching a historical drama.

-니 is a casual quastion form. You can use it to your friends.

[chickenjae]

I have the same question

[sakuyaluigi]

What's the difference between phone and telephone?

[Stefan162488]

I flagged it

[JayCaeKay]

[nanairorekt]

I feel you ㅠㅠ

[WildWildBasch]

According to my native Korean girlfriend:
- 느냐 (not common AT ALL).
- 니 (not too common, maybe more common in Seoul than in other parts of the country).

[sing4youuu]

telephone was wrong but phone is right...

[ghksgml0712]

I heard a kid (probably 13 years old) asking something with this ending (느냐) to his friend from school. Maybe it's not common but what does it entail if you ask something aloud using 느냐?

[KanKanMikan]

this ending sounds cute for some reason

[KookieBTSARMY101]

I don't have a phone... :'(

[Valencia25174]

Telephone should also be accepted. Hmm... even the hint gives you "telephone"

[ariyeli310]

Why is telephone not accepted?

[sgsei]

do people actually use 있느냐?

[theethanwilson]

Everybody in 2011

[SangEunLee13]

Blizzard: "Do you guys not have phones?"

[abhikun]

사과 있어요.

[royaknpk]

"전화가 있느냐" should also be accepted.
