Common questions

How do you conjugate 잉태하다 in Korean?

What is the past tense of 잉태하다?

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

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 잉태합니다, 잉태하, 잉태하니 all keep 잉태하 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 잉태하다?
