자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you conjugate 인자하다 in Korean?

인자하다 (to be benignant) is 인자해요 in the polite 해요체, 인자합니다 in formal 합니다체, 인자해 in casual 반말 and 인자하다 in the plain written style. The past is 인자했어요.

What is the past tense of 인자하다?

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

Is 인자하다 irregular?

Yes — it is 여 irregular (여 불규칙). 하다 and every verb built on it: 하다 → 하여 → 해요. That is why the stem looks different in 인자하여 and 인자하니 but unchanged in 인자합니다.

What TOPIK level is 인자하다?

It carries no TOPIK grade. That is a fact about the published word lists rather than about the word — it conjugates by exactly the same rules as everything else.
