Common questions

How do you conjugate 굴복하다 in Korean?

굴복하다 (to submit) is 굴복하요 in the polite 해요체, 굴복합니다 in formal 합니다체, 굴복하 in casual 반말 and 굴복한다 in the plain written style. The past is 굴복핬어요.

What is the past tense of 굴복하다?

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

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 굴복합니다, 굴복하, 굴복하니 all keep 굴복하 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 굴복하다?
