나직하다 (low) is 나직해요 in the polite 해요체, 나직합니다 in formal 합니다체, 나직해 in casual 반말 and 나직하다 in the plain written style. The past is 나직했어요.
What is the past tense of 나직하다?
나직했어요 in everyday polite speech, 나직했습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 나직하여 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.
Is 나직하다 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 나직하여 and 나직하니 but unchanged in 나직합니다.
