Common questions

How do you conjugate 흥미롭다 in Korean?

흥미롭다 (to be interesting) is 흥미로워요 in the polite 해요체, 흥미롭습니다 in formal 합니다체, 흥미로워 in casual 반말 and 흥미롭다 in the plain written style. The past is 흥미로웠어요.

What is the past tense of 흥미롭다?

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

Is 흥미롭다 irregular?

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

What TOPIK level is 흥미롭다?

4급 — TOPIK 4, upper intermediate.
