-다시피
as you know, as you can see
Appeals to what the listener already knows or can observe. It attaches to a short, fixed list of verbs — and that list is most of what there is to learn.

Pick a verb
When to use it
Attach -다시피 to the plain stem, and note that ㄹ stays: 알다 gives 알다시피, not 아다시피.
The verbs it takes are those of knowing and perceiving: 알다, 보다, 듣다, 말하다, 아시다. Outside that group it does not work in this sense — 가다시피 is not possible.
It functions as a politeness device, crediting the listener with knowledge before you restate it: 아시다시피 이번 일정은 변경되었습니다. Presentations and reports open with it constantly.
A second use, -다시피 하다, means “practically” and takes any verb: 거의 뛰다시피 했어요 — I was practically running.

Compared with
-듯이
-듯이 draws a comparison — “as if.” -다시피 appeals to actual shared knowledge, not a likeness.
아는 듯이 말했다. (as if he knew) / 아시다시피 (as you know)
-잖아요
Both invoke shared knowledge, but -잖아요 is casual and can sound reproachful. -다시피 is formal and courteous.
아시잖아요. (you know that) / 아시다시피 (as you are aware)
-다시피 하다
The second use means “practically” and takes any verb. It exaggerates rather than appealing to knowledge.
아시다시피 (as you know) / 뛰다시피 했어요 (practically ran)
Watch out
아다시피 일정이 바뀌었습니다.
아시다시피 일정이 바뀌었습니다.
The ㄹ of 알다 stays before -다시피, and with a listener you respect, the honorific 아시다 is expected.
가다시피 시간이 없었어요.
아시다시피 시간이 없었어요.
In this sense the ending takes verbs of knowing or perceiving. 가다 is not one of them.
거의 뛰다시피 예산이 부족합니다.
앞서 말씀드렸다시피 예산이 부족합니다.
-다시피 하다 means “practically” and needs 하다. Without it, the ending must appeal to shared knowledge.
