GUIDE TO CONJUGATION
1. What Is Conjugation?
The dictionary form of all Korean verbs ends with 다 da such as 가다 gada “to go,” 적다 jeokda “to write,” and 살다 salda “to live.” The part that precedes the word-final 다 da—가 ga, 적 jeok, and 살 sal—is called a stem. The stem is constant in its shape, and various suffixes can be attached to it. The suffix added to the stem of a verb is called an ending. Conjugation refers to the way the stem of a verb and one or more endings combine to create a different form.
2. ㄹ Verbs and 하 Verbs
Most verbs follow regular conjugation rules. There are two types of verbs which need your attention—ㄹ verbs and 하 verbs. ㄹ verbs are those whose stem ends with ㄹ l, for example, 살다 salda “to live,” 밀다 milda “to push,” and 돌다 dolda “to turn”; 하 verbs, which account for a large portion of Korean verbs, are those whose stem ends with 하 ha, for example, 하다 hada “to do,” 공부하다 gongbuhada “to study,” 일하다 ilhada “to work,” and 숙제하다 sukjehada “to do homework.” Those two groups of verbs follow the regular conjugation rules, but they sometimes behave differently than other verbs.
• Some notes on notation
V | Verb |
S | Stem. e.g., 가 ga in 가다 gada “to go” |
e | Ending. e.g., 면 myeon in 가면 gamyeon “if (I/you/he/etc.) go(es)” |
Sㄹ | Stem ending in ㄹ l. e.g., 살 sal in 살다 salda “to live” |
Sㄹ | Deletion of the stem-final ㄹ l |
Sv | Stem ending in a vowel. e.g., 가 ga in 가다 gada “to go” |
Sc | Stem ending in a consonant. e.g., 적 jeok in 적다 jeokda “to write” |
Sㅏ/ㅗ | Stem ending in a syllable with ㅏ a or ㅗ o. e.g., 가 ga in 가다 gada “to go,” 돌 dol in 돌다 dolda “to turn” |
Sㅓ/ㅜ | Stem ending in a syllable with a vowel other than ㅏ a and ㅗ o. e.g., 적 jeok in 적다 jeokda “to write,” 주 ju in 주다 juda “to give” |
S하 | Stem ending in 하 ha. e.g., 공부하 gongbuha in 공부하다 gongbuhada “to study” |
3. Conjugation of Regular Verbs
e class #1. S + e
Endings beginning with ㄱ g, ㅈ j, or ㄷ d combine directly with the stem of a verb. Among them are -고 -go “and,” -거나 -geona “or,” -기 -gi (nominalizer), -겠- -get- (future), -지 -ji (nominalizer), -지만 -jiman “but,” -자 -ja (propositive), and -도록 -dorok “so that.”
e class #2. (i) S + e (ii) Sㄹ + e
When endings like -니? -ni? (interrogative), -는데 -neunde “but,” and -는 -neun (adnominal) are attached to the stem of ㄹ verbs, the stem-final ㄹ l is deleted. For all other verbs, they combine directly with the stem of the verb. The majority of the endings beginning with a syllable-initial ㄴ n go for this class.
e class #3. (i) Sv + e (ii) Sㄹ + e (iii) Sc + 으 + e
Endings beginning with ㅁ m or syllable-initial ㄹ are directly attached to the stem which ends with a vowel or ㄹ. When they are attached to a stem which ends with a consonant other than ㄹ, by contrast, the vowel 으 eu intervenes between the stem and the ending to facilitate the pronunciation. -(으)면
