자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you conjugate 비옥하다 in Korean?

비옥하다 (to be rich, to be fertile) is 비옥해요 in the polite 해요체, 비옥합니다 in formal 합니다체, 비옥해 in casual 반말 and 비옥하다 in the plain written style. The past is 비옥했어요.

What is the past tense of 비옥하다?

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

Is 비옥하다 irregular?

Yes — it is 여 irregular (여 불규칙). 하다 and every verb built on it: 하다 → 하여 → 해요. That is why the stem looks different in 비옥하여 and 비옥하니 but unchanged in 비옥합니다.

What TOPIK level is 비옥하다?

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.
