Common questions

How do you conjugate 받들다 in Korean?

받들다 (to serve, honor) is 받들어요 in the polite 해요체, 받듭니다 in formal 합니다체, 받들어 in casual 반말 and 받든다 in the plain written style. The past is 받들었어요.

What is the past tense of 받들다?

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

Is 받들다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㄹ dropping (ㄹ 탈락). ㄹ drops before ㄴ, ㅂ and ㅅ: 살다 → 삽니다. Regular, but universal. That is why the stem looks different in 받들어 and 받드니 but unchanged in 받듭니다.

What TOPIK level is 받들다?

6급 — TOPIK 6, mastery.
