Common questions

How do you conjugate 널다 in Korean?

널다 (to spread something out to catch the wind or sun) is 널어요 in the polite 해요체, 넙니다 in formal 합니다체, 널어 in casual 반말 and 넌다 in the plain written style. The past is 널었어요.

What is the past tense of 널다?

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

Is 널다 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 널어 and 너니 but unchanged in 넙니다.

What TOPIK level is 널다?

3급 — TOPIK 3, lower intermediate.
