자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you conjugate 철회하다 in Korean?

철회하다 (to withdraw) is 철회하요 in the polite 해요체, 철회합니다 in formal 합니다체, 철회하 in casual 반말 and 철회한다 in the plain written style. The past is 철회핬어요.

What is the past tense of 철회하다?

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

Is 철회하다 a regular verb?

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 철회합니다, 철회하, 철회하니 all keep 철회하 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 철회하다?

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.
