Common questions

How do you conjugate 잦아지다 in Korean?

What is the past tense of 잦아지다?

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

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 잦아집니다, 잦아져, 잦아지니 all keep 잦아지 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 잦아지다?
