Common questions

How do you conjugate 밉다 in Korean?

밉다 (to be detestable) is 미워요 in the polite 해요체, 밉습니다 in formal 합니다체, 미워 in casual 반말 and 밉다 in the plain written style. The past is 미웠어요.

What is the past tense of 밉다?

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

Is 밉다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㅂ irregular (ㅂ 불규칙). ㅂ becomes 우 before a vowel: 춥다 → 추워요. That is why the stem looks different in 미워 and 미우니 but unchanged in 밉습니다.

What TOPIK level is 밉다?

3급 — TOPIK 3, lower intermediate.
