"Ira" is not a standalone word in Korean. It could be part of a phrase or conjugation, such as "이라" (a form of the verb "이다" meaning "to be").
In a sentence
이것이 내가 선택한 결과이다.
This is the result I chose.
Here, '이다' is appended to '결과' to specify that it is the result, demonstrating 'ira' as a form of 'to be' or 'it is' in formal statements.
어떤 일이 있더라도 우리는 함께할 것이다.
No matter what happens, we will stay together.
In this example, '일이' uses 'ira' in the implied declarative sense when discussing certain matters or events.
그의 말이 사실이 아니었다.
His words were not true.
Reference to '말이 사실이 아니었다' conveys a point about the truthfulness of statements, showcasing 'ira' in its verb form linking 'to be' negatively.
