Using the 요 ending adds politeness. In order to make the verb or adjective informal low form, known as [[반말]] one can usually simply remove the 요 at the end of the word.

The '''A/V + 아/어/여''' form is probably the most important form to learn in Korean and is probably the most frequently used grammar pattern since it can be used as informal polite and informal friendly style amongst friends and people of equal or lower status (by dropping the 요 at the end). Also many other grammar patterns depend on the basic conjugation rules of this pattern to form other grammar patters, see [[:Category:아/어/여 form]] for other patterns.

<!--Can also be a command-->

why is it verbs like 내다 don't get a 어 attached to it, like it's not 내어요 , but then 쉬다 is 쉬어 right?
+
==Usages==
 +
This basic pattern is probably the most common grammar pattern in Korean.
 +
#It is used for making informal present tense sentences, adding to the end 요 makes it become the informal polite form. This can be used to convey your thoughts, a fact or fact to someone else in the present tense. This can also be used for asking a question in the present tense. When asking a question your intonation should go up slightly.
 +
#This pattern can also be used to issue a command (similar to [[V + 아/어 + 라]] but not as strong) or give a suggestion. It's best to combine the verb/adjective stem with the honorific suffix [[시]] to make it more polite. <!--is 라 a stronger command?-->
 +
#When combined with the words 같이 or 함께 you are inviting or suggesting to the listener to do something together.

===Verb Stem + 아===
+
==Notes==
−
If the last syllable of the stem contains the vowels ㅗ or ㅏ, then 아요 is added. Note that if it already contains an ㅏ in the stem then an extra 아 is not written. Note this rule does not apply for 하다 verbs, see the section below for 하다 verbs.<br>
+
*Not adding a 요 is very informal and called [[반말]], which should only be used with friends, people that are younger than you, and people who are in a lower position than you. This is, however, dependent on the situation, and so may not always be true.
−
가다→가요<br>
+
*To be more polite the honorific suffix [[시]] is added to the verb/adjective stem in many cases.
−
오다→오아다 → 와요 *note ㅗ + ㅏ can be contracted into ㅘ.<br>
+
 
 +
==Conjugation Rules==
 +
There are three types of basic conjugation rules, the first two depend on whether or not a 오 or 아 verb appear in the last syllable of the adj/verb stem. The last rule is simply used for 하다 verbs. Please note that verbs/adjectives are put in the dictionary form (ending in -다, i.e. 가다), the stem is 가 (part without the 다).
 +
 
 +
===Verb/Adj Stem + 아===
 +
*If the last syllable of the stem contains the vowels ㅗ or ㅏ, then 아 is added. If it is a stem with no [[받침]] like 가다, then an extra 아 isn't added.  
 +
*Please note '''this rule does not apply for 하다 verbs''', see the [[A/V + 아/어/여 + 요#여 Verbs/Adjectives (하다)|section below]] for 하다 adj/verbs.
 +
*Stems that end in 오 are often contracted to 와 (오 + 아 = 와), especially in colloquial speech.
 +
*Irregular verbs do exist, see the [[A/V + 아/어/여 + 요#Irregular Forms|irregular verbs section]] below for more details.

If the last syllable of the stem contains any vowel except 오, 아, and is not a containing 하다 verb then it becomes an 어. Note that verb stems with 이 turn into a 여(see next section), it is due to a contraction of 이 + 어 = 여. Since the non contracted form is rarely used, the 이 containing verb stems has been given it's own section and excluded from this section.

+
*If the last syllable of the stem contains the vowel 이 and there's no [[받침]], i.e. 시키다, then it becomes a 여 (시켜). The 여 is a result of the contraction between 이 + 어.

This topic is covered at Talktomeinkorean.com: lesson 16

The A/V + 아/어/여 form is probably the most important form to learn in Korean and is probably the most frequently used grammar pattern since it can be used as informal polite and informal friendly style amongst friends and people of equal or lower status (by dropping the 요 at the end). Also many other grammar patterns depend on the basic conjugation rules of this pattern to form other grammar patters, see Category:아/어/여 form for other patterns.

Usages

This basic pattern is probably the most common grammar pattern in Korean.

  1. It is used for making informal present tense sentences, adding to the end 요 makes it become the informal polite form. This can be used to convey your thoughts, a fact or fact to someone else in the present tense. This can also be used for asking a question in the present tense. When asking a question your intonation should go up slightly.
  2. This pattern can also be used to issue a command (similar to V + 아/어 + 라 but not as strong) or give a suggestion. It's best to combine the verb/adjective stem with the honorific suffix 시 to make it more polite.
  3. When combined with the words 같이 or 함께 you are inviting or suggesting to the listener to do something together.

Notes

  • Not adding a 요 is very informal and called 반말, which should only be used with friends, people that are younger than you, and people who are in a lower position than you. This is, however, dependent on the situation, and so may not always be true.
  • To be more polite the honorific suffix 시 is added to the verb/adjective stem in many cases.

Conjugation Rules

There are three types of basic conjugation rules, the first two depend on whether or not a 오 or 아 verb appear in the last syllable of the adj/verb stem. The last rule is simply used for 하다 verbs. Please note that verbs/adjectives are put in the dictionary form (ending in -다, i.e. 가다), the stem is 가 (part without the 다).

Verb/Adj Stem + 아

  • If the last syllable of the stem contains the vowels ㅗ or ㅏ, then 아 is added. If it is a stem with no 받침 like 가다, then an extra 아 isn't added.
  • Please note this rule does not apply for 하다 verbs, see the section below for 하다 adj/verbs.
  • Stems that end in 오 are often contracted to 와 (오 + 아 = 와), especially in colloquial speech.
  • Irregular verbs do exist, see the irregular verbs section below for more details.
Examples for Verb Stem + ㅏ
Verb/Adjective Stem After Conjugation Contracted Form Present Tense Past Tense
가다 (to go) 가 가아 가 가(요) 갔어(요)
괜찮다 (to be fine, ok) 괜찮 괜찮아 N/A 괜찮아(요) 괜찮았어(요)
놀다 (to play) 놀 놀아 N/A 놀아(요) 놀았어(요)
맞다 (to be right, correct) 맞 맞아 N/A 맞아(요) 맞았어(요)
보다 (to see) 보 보아 봐 봐(요) / 보아(요 봤어(요) / 보았어(요)
사다 (to buy) 사 사아 사 사(요) 샀어(요)
오다 (to come) 오 오아 와 와(요) / 오아(요) 왔어(요) / 오았어(요)
좋다 (to like) 좋 좋아 N/A 좋아(요) 좋았어(요)

Verb/Adj Stem + 어

  • If the last syllable of the stem contains any vowel other than 오, 아, and is not a 하다 verb then it becomes an 어. Note that verb stems with 이 turn into a 여(see next section), it is due to a contraction of 이 + 어 = 여.
  • If the last syllable of the stem contains the vowel 이 and there's no 받침, i.e. 시키다, then it becomes a 여 (시켜). The 여 is a result of the contraction between 이 + 어. The contracted form is almost always used in spoken and written Korean. Also note a separate table of examples has been created below for the adj/verb stems which end in 이.
  • Verbs that end in in the vowel ㅐ don't get anything conjugated to it, i.e. 내다 → 내요.
  • Irregular verbs do exist, see the irregular verbs section below for more details.
Examples for Verb Stem + ㅓ
Verb/Adjective Stem After Conjugation Contracted Form Present Tense Past Tense
먹다 (to eat) 먹 먹어 N/A 먹어(요) 먹었어(요)

  • The contracted form is used most of the time, especially in colloquial speech. However, 하여 is used mostly in very formal situations.
