Suffix
시꺄 • (-sikkya)

Usage notes
- Like 시겨 (-sigyeo), this suffix is used virtually only in Hwanghae province. It was also sometimes used among natives in other regions bordering Hwanghae Province, most notably Ganghwa Island in the south (though 시까 (-sikka) seems to be more common if this form is used), though in modern times it is only seldom used among older residents in these areas. Otherwise, in the south, it can also be heard in the speech of Korean War refugees from Hwanghae.
Alternative forms
