Common questions

How do you conjugate 애처롭다 in Korean?

애처롭다 (pitiful) is 애처로워요 in the polite 해요체, 애처롭습니다 in formal 합니다체, 애처로워 in casual 반말 and 애처롭다 in the plain written style. The past is 애처로웠어요.

What is the past tense of 애처롭다?

애처로웠어요 in everyday polite speech, 애처로웠습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 애처로워 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.

Is 애처롭다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㅂ irregular (ㅂ 불규칙). ㅂ becomes 우 before a vowel: 춥다 → 추워요. That is why the stem looks different in 애처로워 and 애처로우니 but unchanged in 애처롭습니다.

What TOPIK level is 애처롭다?

It carries no TOPIK grade. That is a fact about the published word lists rather than about the word — it conjugates by exactly the same rules as everything else.
