Common questions

How do you conjugate 털다 in Korean?

털다 (to shake off) is 털어요 in the polite 해요체, 텁니다 in formal 합니다체, 털어 in casual 반말 and 턴다 in the plain written style. The past is 털었어요.

What is the past tense of 털다?

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

Is 털다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㄹ dropping (ㄹ 탈락). ㄹ drops before ㄴ, ㅂ and ㅅ: 살다 → 삽니다. Regular, but universal. That is why the stem looks different in 털어 and 터니 but unchanged in 텁니다.

What TOPIK level is 털다?

3급 — TOPIK 3, lower intermediate.
