"-니" meaning in All languages combined

See -니 on Wiktionary

Particle [Korean]

IPA: [ni] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: [canonical], -ni [romanization]
Etymology: A nineteenth-century contraction of Early Modern Korean ᄂᆞ니 (-neuni), which it replaces, as attested by the older spelling 늬 (-nui). The uncontracted form is now written 느니 (-neuni) due to spelling reforms and no longer has interrogative meaning; see there for more. As expected by the etymology, 니 (-ni) could originally only combine with verbs and existential adjectives but expanded rapidly to adjectives in the early twentieth century.
