자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you conjugate 나뒹굴다 in Korean?

나뒹굴다 (to be scattered, strewn about) is 나뒹굴어요 in the polite 해요체, 나뒹굽니다 in formal 합니다체, 나뒹굴어 in casual 반말 and 나뒹군다 in the plain written style. The past is 나뒹굴었어요.

What is the past tense of 나뒹굴다?

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

Is 나뒹굴다 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 나뒹굴어 and 나뒹구니 but unchanged in 나뒹굽니다.

What TOPIK level is 나뒹굴다?

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.
