자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you conjugate 유력하다 in Korean?

유력하다 (influential) is 유력해요 in the polite 해요체, 유력합니다 in formal 합니다체, 유력해 in casual 반말 and 유력하다 in the plain written style. The past is 유력했어요.

What is the past tense of 유력하다?

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

Is 유력하다 irregular?

Yes — it is 여 irregular (여 불규칙). 하다 and every verb built on it: 하다 → 하여 → 해요. That is why the stem looks different in 유력하여 and 유력하니 but unchanged in 유력합니다.

What TOPIK level is 유력하다?

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.
