How do you conjugate 달갑다 in Korean?
달갑다 (to be welcome) is 달가워요 in the polite 해요체, 달갑습니다 in formal 합니다체, 달가워 in casual 반말 and 달갑다 in the plain written style. The past is 달가웠어요.
What is the past tense of 달갑다?
달가웠어요 in everyday polite speech, 달가웠습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 달가워 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.
Is 달갑다 irregular?
Yes — it is ㅂ irregular (ㅂ 불규칙). ㅂ becomes 우 before a vowel: 춥다 → 추워요. That is why the stem looks different in 달가워 and 달가우니 but unchanged in 달갑습니다.
