Common questions

How do you conjugate 새롭다 in Korean?

새롭다 (to be new) is 새로워요 in the polite 해요체, 새롭습니다 in formal 합니다체, 새로워 in casual 반말 and 새롭다 in the plain written style. The past is 새로웠어요.

What is the past tense of 새롭다?

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

Is 새롭다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㅂ irregular (ㅂ 불규칙). ㅂ becomes 우 before a vowel: 춥다 → 추워요. That is why the stem looks different in 새로워 and 새로우니 but unchanged in 새롭습니다.

What TOPIK level is 새롭다?

2급 — TOPIK 2, elementary.
