Using -(으)니까요 and -지요
언녕하새요!
I'd like to know if this three phrases are written correctly:
Irregular verb ㅂ in the past answering a question: 시험이 진짜 어려웠으니까요.
Irregular verb ㄹ with -지요: 엄마와 아빠는 브라질에 살지요?
Irregular verb ㄹ with -지요 more formal: 부모님은 브라질에 살시지요?
And, is it possible using them together: -(으)니까지요 ?!
감사합니다!

시험이 진짜 어려웠으니까요 - Correct. ㅂ drops before a vowel, so 어려우니까, 어려웠으니까, etc.
엄마와 아빠는 브라질에 살지요? - Correct.
부모님은 브라질에 살시지요? - Wrong. 살시지요 -> 사시지요 (ㄹ drops before ㄴ, ㅂ, ㅅ, and -ㄹ (사네, 삽시다, 사세요).
-(으)니까지요 ?! - No. You can't combine them. -니까지요 doesn't make any sense.
