Common questions

How do you conjugate 드높다 in Korean?

드높다 (to be lofty, high) is 드높아요 in the polite 해요체, 드높습니다 in formal 합니다체, 드높아 in casual 반말 and 드높다 in the plain written style. The past is 드높았어요.

What is the past tense of 드높다?

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

Is 드높다 a regular verb?

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 드높습니다, 드높아, 드높으니 all keep 드높 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 드높다?

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.
