Common questions

How do you conjugate 웃돌다 in Korean?

웃돌다 (to exceed, to be above) is 웃돌아요 in the polite 해요체, 웃돕니다 in formal 합니다체, 웃돌아 in casual 반말 and 웃돈다 in the plain written style. The past is 웃돌았어요.

What is the past tense of 웃돌다?

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

Is 웃돌다 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 웃돌아 and 웃도니 but unchanged in 웃돕니다.

What TOPIK level is 웃돌다?

6급 — TOPIK 6, mastery.
