Common questions

How do you conjugate 나돌다 in Korean?

나돌다 (to go outside and wander about) is 나돌아요 in the polite 해요체, 나돕니다 in formal 합니다체, 나돌아 in casual 반말 and 나돈다 in the plain written style. The past is 나돌았어요.

What is the past tense of 나돌다?

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

Is 나돌다 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 나돌아 and 나도니 but unchanged in 나돕니다.

What TOPIK level is 나돌다?

5급 — TOPIK 5, advanced.
