Common questions

How do you conjugate 저지하다 in Korean?

저지하다 (to obstruct) is 저지하요 in the polite 해요체, 저지합니다 in formal 합니다체, 저지하 in casual 반말 and 저지한다 in the plain written style. The past is 저지핬어요.

What is the past tense of 저지하다?

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

Is 저지하다 a regular verb?

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 저지합니다, 저지하, 저지하니 all keep 저지하 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 저지하다?

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.
