Common questions

How do you conjugate 독하다 in Korean?

독하다 (to be poisonous) is 독해요 in the polite 해요체, 독합니다 in formal 합니다체, 독해 in casual 반말 and 독하다 in the plain written style. The past is 독했어요.

What is the past tense of 독하다?

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

Is 독하다 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 독하여 and 독하니 but unchanged in 독합니다.

What TOPIK level is 독하다?

4급 — TOPIK 4, upper intermediate.
