でいますよね

de i masu yo ne

JA

Polite Japanese sentence ending that indicates a state of being and seeks agreement or confirmation from the listener

彼は今忙しくでいますよね。

He is busy right now, isn't he?

Etymology

This is a conjugated form of the Japanese verb です (desu, the polite copula 'to be'), combined with the progressive auxiliary います (imasu) and the sentence-ending particle よね (yone), which adds softness and seeks confirmation.

Memory Aid

Break it down: de (from desu) + i (from iru, the progressive auxiliary) + masu (polite ending) + yone (confirmation particle) to remember its function.
