Chapter 3. Conjugation Rules

Korean has an infinitive form for both verbs and adjectives. If you find “다” in a word, it is in the infinitive form because “다” is the infinitive marker.

 

EX)

먹다          to eat

하다          to do

공부하다  to study

말하다       to speak

예쁘다       to be pretty

건강하다   to be healthy

잘생겼다   to be handsome

 

 

친구 friends

왜요? Why?

 

 

Chapter 3

If you remove 다 then the rest of the word becomes a stem verb or a stem adjective.

Infinitive verbs and adjectives	The Stems of the infinitive verbs and adjectives
먹다 to eat	먹
하다 to do	하
공부하다 to study	공부하
말하다 to speak	말하
예쁘다 to be pretty	예쁘
건강하다 to be healthy	건강하
잘생겼다 to be handsome	잘생겼

 

You will notice ellipses (…) used all throughout this book. These stand for the stems of the infinitive verbs and adjectives.

 

(~) stands for the conjugated stem of the verbs and adjectives. When we speak, we don’t use infinitive forms. We use conjugated forms instead.  

 

If the infinitive verbs or adjectives are regularly conjugated to the polite form, we add 어요 or 아요 after the stem. Otherwise we have to memorize individual verbs and adjectives because they conjugate irregularly. For example, the verb 하다 (to do) conjugates as해요. Likewise오다 (to come) conjugates as 와요. Both 하다 and 오다 are examples of irregular verbs.

 

 

Rule 1) If the last syllable of the stem is in the CVC(C) form and contains one of the vowelsㅏ,ㅑ, ㅗ, or ㅛ, we add 아요 after the stem.

짧다 to be short	짧	짧아요 [짤바요]
많다 to be a lot	많	많아요 [마나요]
높다 to be high	높	높아요 [노파요]

 

 

Rule 2) If the last syllable of the stem is in the CVC(C) form and contains one of the vowels ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅜ, ㅠ, ㅡ, or l, we add 어요 after the stem.
