Common questions

How do you conjugate 썩이다 in Korean?

썩이다 (to worry, to trouble) is 썩여요 in the polite 해요체, 썩입니다 in formal 합니다체, 썩여 in casual 반말 and 썩인다 in the plain written style. The past is 썩였어요.

What is the past tense of 썩이다?

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

Is 썩이다 a regular verb?

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 썩입니다, 썩여, 썩이니 all keep 썩이 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 썩이다?

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.
