Hi,

By the way, i thought if we want to say "I don't eat meat" in korean, it is 저는 고기 안 먹어요.

What does 않습니다 means?

Thanks!

Hi polkadotcandies,

You're welcome.

저는 고기 안먹어요. is the standard politeness level and more colloquial.
저는 ~먹지 않습니다. is more formal and polite.

Adjective/Verb + 지 않습니다 is used to negate the verb or adjective attached to it, which is 먹다 (eat) in this case.

Hope this helps.
