Common questions

How do you conjugate 잦아들다 in Korean?

잦아들다 (run down, run out, cool down) is 잦아들어요 in the polite 해요체, 잦아듭니다 in formal 합니다체, 잦아들어 in casual 반말 and 잦아든다 in the plain written style. The past is 잦아들었어요.

What is the past tense of 잦아들다?

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

Is 잦아들다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㄹ dropping (ㄹ 탈락). ㄹ drops before ㄴ, ㅂ and ㅅ: 살다 → 삽니다. Regular, but universal. That is why the stem looks different in 잦아들어 and 잦아드니 but unchanged in 잦아듭니다.

What TOPIK level is 잦아들다?

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.
