Usage notes

While some North Korean defectors claim that this is an exaggerated or even a made-up form, this is probably because the majority of defectors come from northern areas of the Korean peninsula, and are speakers of Yukjin or Northern Hamgyong variants, which instead use the 으꾸마 (-eukkuma), 습꾸마 (-seupkkuma) or 슴다 (-seumda) forms. Among defectors from Pyongan speaking areas, some appear to consider this form old fashioned or quaint.
