Notes for Verb and Adjective Tables
APPENDIX
An asterisk (*) following a word in the table is used to indicate an exception
to the conjugation rule. For example, 드세요 is the Honorific form of eat
(not 먹으세요 ).
Where headings do not distinguish between a question or statement form,
the same form is used for both.
An ‘x’ indicates that the conjugation for that cell is not applicable. For
example, there is no formal Honorific form of 싸(cheap), ‘싸십니다’,
because the subject of the sentence would not be a human being and
therefore we cannot use an honorific form.
A ‘q’ following a word in the table is used to indicate that the form given
only applies to questions. For example, 맛있으세요? can only be used to
say ‘Do you find it delicious?’ and not ‘That food is delicious’, because the
subject of the sentence is not a human being and therefore we cannot use an
honorific form.
The Korean words for handsome, old (human being), old (things), thin
(people) and ugly are often used with 었, so this has been added to the
stems of each (stem+었):
잘생기+었 잘생겼
늙+었 늙었
낡+았 낡았
마르+았 말랐
못생기+었 못생겼
