Common questions
How do you conjugate 복되다 in Korean?
복되다 (to be blessed) is 복돼요 in the polite 해요체, 복됩니다 in formal 합니다체, 복돼 in casual 반말 and 복되다 in the plain written style. The past is 복됐어요.
What is the past tense of 복되다?
복됐어요 in everyday polite speech, 복됐습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 복돼 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.
Is 복되다 a regular verb?
Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 복됩니다, 복돼, 복되니 all keep 복되 intact. Only the ending moves.
What TOPIK level is 복되다?
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.
