Common questions

How do you conjugate 간지럽다 in Korean?

간지럽다 (to be ticklish, itchy) is 간지러워요 in the polite 해요체, 간지럽습니다 in formal 합니다체, 간지러워 in casual 반말 and 간지럽다 in the plain written style. The past is 간지러웠어요.

What is the past tense of 간지럽다?

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

Is 간지럽다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㅂ irregular (ㅂ 불규칙). ㅂ becomes 우 before a vowel: 춥다 → 추워요. That is why the stem looks different in 간지러워 and 간지러우니 but unchanged in 간지럽습니다.

4급 — TOPIK 4, upper intermediate.
