Common questions

How do you conjugate 슬기롭다 in Korean?

슬기롭다 (wise) is 슬기로워요 in the polite 해요체, 슬기롭습니다 in formal 합니다체, 슬기로워 in casual 반말 and 슬기롭다 in the plain written style. The past is 슬기로웠어요.

What is the past tense of 슬기롭다?

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

Is 슬기롭다 irregular?

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