What is the difference between 지금이요 vs 지금요? I've heard a lot of people say 지금요 instead of 지금이요. Are 지금이요 and 지금요 both correct? Or is one more natural to say than the other? For example, would I say 선물이요? or 선물요 ? OR another example - 가방이요? or 가방요? Any explanations would be great - thanks!!!

안녕하세요. :) Noun + -(이)요. We use "-요" for no bottom words and "-이요" for bottom words. 구두 + -요 : 구두요 because there is no bottom word. 커피 + -요 : 커피요 because there is no bottom word. 지금 + -이요 : 지금이요 because there is a bottom, "ㅁ". 선물 + -이요 : 선물이요 because there is a bottom, "ㄹ". 가방 + -이요 : 가방이요 because there is a bottom, "ㅇ".
