Common questions

How do you conjugate 막강하다 in Korean?

막강하다 (mighty) is 막강해요 in the polite 해요체, 막강합니다 in formal 합니다체, 막강해 in casual 반말 and 막강하다 in the plain written style. The past is 막강했어요.

What is the past tense of 막강하다?

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

Is 막강하다 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 막강하여 and 막강하니 but unchanged in 막강합니다.
