자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you conjugate 말려들다 in Korean?

말려들다 (to get dragged into) is 말려들어요 in the polite 해요체, 말려듭니다 in formal 합니다체, 말려들어 in casual 반말 and 말려든다 in the plain written style. The past is 말려들었어요.

What is the past tense of 말려들다?

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

Is 말려들다 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 말려들어 and 말려드니 but unchanged in 말려듭니다.

What TOPIK level is 말려들다?

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.
