Common questions

How do you conjugate 휘두르다 in Korean?

휘두르다 (to brandish) is 휘둘러요 in the polite 해요체, 휘두릅니다 in formal 합니다체, 휘둘러 in casual 반말 and 휘두른다 in the plain written style. The past is 휘둘렀어요.

What is the past tense of 휘두르다?

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

Is 휘두르다 irregular?

Yes — it is 르 irregular (르 불규칙). 르 doubles its ㄹ and takes 아/어: 모르다 → 몰라요. That is why the stem looks different in 휘둘러 and 휘두르니 but unchanged in 휘두릅니다.
