 Korean Conjugation – How to

use Verbs & Adjectives

From: Korean Conjugation – How to Use Verbs & Adjectives

What is Korean conjugation?

Korean conjugations in Korean grammar determine the meaning, tense,

tone, and mood of sentences.
For example, let’s say you’re going to use the verb “go” in a sentence. The
base form is in Korean is:
Base Form: 가다 (gada) – to go
However, you need to change it to the present tense.
Conjugated Korean verb: 저는 가요 (I go)
We’ve added 저는 (“I”) as the subject, and then conjugated 가다 (to go).
However, unlike in any other language, Korean grammar takes
conjugation to another level. Conjugations in Korean aren’t limited to
verbs. Other parts of speech such as adjectives can be conjugated.

Are Korean conjugation rules different for verbs and

adjectives?

Most of the conjugation rules for Korean verbs also apply to adjectives.
Once you learn the Korean verb conjugation rules, it’ll be easy to
conjugate adjectives.
This series goes all the way up to the lower intermediate level, so it’s
good for anybody studying Korean for the long haul. Although the
lessons are very clear, it works best if you have a tutor to help you when
using it.

 How do you conjugate verbs in Korean?

Korean verb conjugation is pretty easy to do. All you need to do is to drop
the 다 verb endings from the verb stem and then add the appropriate
verb endings. The correct verb endings to be used when conjugating
verbs are determined by the nal or last vowel after dropping the 다 verb
endings from the verb stem.

What ’s the common Korean verb conjugation?

The common Korean verb conjugation is the use of 아요 and 어요 which

gives the Korean verb its polite and present tense form.
Let’s use the verbs 자다 and 먹다 as an example. These 2 verbs are both
in their verb stem form.
As mentioned earlier, conjugations of verbs in Korean happens by
dropping the 다 verb endings from the verb stem.
For the verbs 자다 and 먹다, we’ll need to drop the 다 verb endings which
will make them:
자다 → 자
먹다 → 먹
If the nal or last vowel after dropping 다 is either ㅏ or ㅗ, you’ll use 아요.
But if the nal or last vowel after dropping 다 is ㅓ, ㅣ, or ㅜ, you’ll use 어
요. So for the 2 example verbs above, they’ll become
자 → 자요
먹 → 먹어요

How important is it to learn Korean Conjugation?

When learning the Korean language particularly the Korean grammar,

Korean verb conjugation is very important to learn. As mentioned earlier,
it sets the tense, tone, and meaning of your sentences which are
basically all essential elements you’ll need when communicating.
