Common questions

How do you conjugate 안쓰럽다 in Korean?

안쓰럽다 (to be moved by pity, feel sorry for) is 안쓰러워요 in the polite 해요체, 안쓰럽습니다 in formal 합니다체, 안쓰러워 in casual 반말 and 안쓰럽다 in the plain written style. The past is 안쓰러웠어요.

What is the past tense of 안쓰럽다?

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

Is 안쓰럽다 irregular?

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

6급 — TOPIK 6, mastery.
