This expression is used when asking for clarification or reconfirmation of what another person has just said. The speaker repeats what the other person just finished saying as a way of asking for clarification about something that was not understood clearly or that was hard to believe. For this reason, the form of the expression depends on the form in which the first speaker originally made the statement. Then, because the speaker is asking the other person for clarification, the particle 요 is added to the end of the indirect citation form.
For adjectives in the present tense, both -냐고요? and -으냐고요? are acceptable, while for verbs in the present tense, both -냐고요? and -느냐고요? are acceptable.
