-데이
Busan: A Listener-directed Statement
Casual -데이 can give a statement a listener-directed reminder, assurance or emphasis in Busan speech.
How It Works
A past stem can precede it, as in 준비했데이. Conjugate the predicate for the intended meaning before considering this ending.
Do not mechanically append it to a complete -다 sentence or replace every sentence ending with it. Imperatives, questions and polite speech require their own constructions.
The written form here is a common representation of regional speech, not an official standard-spelling claim. Natural delivery is ordinary speech, not shouting or a comic stereotype.

- 내가 다 준비했데이.

- 여기 자리 있데이.
There is a seat here, you know.
- 네 말이 맞데이.
You are right, I assure you.
Learn This First
Use the shared predicate-conjugation foundation before adding the regional force of a reminder or assurance.
