Common questions

How do you conjugate 적나라하다 in Korean?

적나라하다 (to be naked, bare) is 적나라해요 in the polite 해요체, 적나라합니다 in formal 합니다체, 적나라해 in casual 반말 and 적나라하다 in the plain written style. The past is 적나라했어요.

What is the past tense of 적나라하다?

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

Is 적나라하다 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 적나라하여 and 적나라하니 but unchanged in 적나라합니다.

What TOPIK level is 적나라하다?

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.
