Common questions

How do you conjugate 근접하다 in Korean?

근접하다 (to come close to) is 근접하요 in the polite 해요체, 근접합니다 in formal 합니다체, 근접하 in casual 반말 and 근접한다 in the plain written style. The past is 근접핬어요.

What is the past tense of 근접하다?

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

Is 근접하다 a regular verb?

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 근접합니다, 근접하, 근접하니 all keep 근접하 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 근접하다?

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.
