자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you conjugate 틀다 in Korean?

틀다 (to turn, twist, wrench) is 틀어요 in the polite 해요체, 틉니다 in formal 합니다체, 틀어 in casual 반말 and 튼다 in the plain written style. The past is 틀었어요.

What is the past tense of 틀다?

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

Is 틀다 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 틀어 and 트니 but unchanged in 틉니다.

What TOPIK level is 틀다?

2급 — TOPIK 2, elementary.
