Common questions

How do you conjugate 헤프다 in Korean?

헤프다 (wasteful) is 헤퍼요 in the polite 해요체, 헤픕니다 in formal 합니다체, 헤퍼 in casual 반말 and 헤프다 in the plain written style. The past is 헤펐어요.

What is the past tense of 헤프다?

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

Is 헤프다 irregular?

Yes — it is 으 irregular (으 불규칙). The stem 으 drops before a vowel ending: 쓰다 → 써요. That is why the stem looks different in 헤퍼 and 헤프니 but unchanged in 헤픕니다.

What TOPIK level is 헤프다?

6급 — TOPIK 6, mastery.
