Common questions

How do you conjugate 편협하다 in Korean?

편협하다 (provincial, narrow-minded) is 편협해요 in the polite 해요체, 편협합니다 in formal 합니다체, 편협해 in casual 반말 and 편협하다 in the plain written style. The past is 편협했어요.

What is the past tense of 편협하다?

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

Is 편협하다 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 편협하여 and 편협하니 but unchanged in 편협합니다.

What TOPIK level is 편협하다?

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.
