Common questions

How do you conjugate 삭다 in Korean?

삭다 (to rot, decay) is 삭아요 in the polite 해요체, 삭습니다 in formal 합니다체, 삭아 in casual 반말 and 삭는다 in the plain written style. The past is 삭았어요.

What is the past tense of 삭다?

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

Is 삭다 a regular verb?

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 삭습니다, 삭아, 삭으니 all keep 삭 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 삭다?

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.
