Common questions

How do you conjugate 쑤다 in Korean?

쑤다 (to cook (gruel, porridge, etc.)) is 쒀요 in the polite 해요체, 쑵니다 in formal 합니다체, 쒀 in casual 반말 and 쑨다 in the plain written style. The past is 쒔어요.

What is the past tense of 쑤다?

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

Is 쑤다 a regular verb?

Yes. Its stem never changes shape: 쑵니다, 쒀, 쑤니 all keep 쑤 intact. Only the ending moves.

What TOPIK level is 쑤다?

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.
