“TO MOVE”

Here are some Korean words:

1. 이동하다 (to move, to transfer)

• 데이터를 다른 폴더로 이동했습니다. (I moved the data to another folder.)

2. 이전하다 (to relocate, to transfer)

• 계획을 실행하려면 빨리 움직여야 합니다. (To execute the plan, we need to take action quickly.)

Korean verbs and adjectives that end in “ㅡ”

(like 크다, 예쁘다, 바쁘다) follow specific conjugation rules when adding endings.

Here’s how they change depending on the ending being attached:

1. When adding -아/어요 (Present Tense, Informal Polite)

The rule:

• Look at the vowel in the second-to-last syllable.

• If it has ㅏ or ㅗ, add -아요

• If it has any other vowel, add -어요

• Drop ㅡ when adding the ending.

• Exception: If there is no second vowel (like in 크다), just attach -어요 for natural pronunciation.

Examples:

• 크다 (to be big) → No second vowel, so attach -어요 → 커요

• 바쁘다 (to be busy) → second-to-last vowel is ㅏ → 바빠요

• 예쁘다 (to be pretty) → second-to-last vowel is ㅣ → 예뻐요

2. When adding -았/었어요 (Past Tense, Informal Polite)

Same rule:

• Drop ㅡ and look at the second-to-last vowel to decide between -았어요 (ㅏ/ㅗ) or -었어요 (other vowels).

• If there is no second vowel (like in 크다), use -었어요 for natural pronunciation.

Examples:

• 크다 → 컸어요

• 바쁘다 → 바빴어요

• 예쁘다 → 예뻤어요

3. When adding -을 거예요 (Future Tense, Informal Polite)

• ㅡ doesn’t change anything here! Just add -을 거예요 after the verb stem.

Examples:

• 크다 → 클 거예요

• 바쁘다 → 바쁠 거예요

• 예쁘다 → 예쁠 거예요

4. When making Adjective Forms (-은/는)

• Most ㅡ-ending adjectives change ㅡ to 은

• But 바쁘다 and 예쁘다 follow the 르-irregular rule, so they change differently!

Examples:

• 크다 → 큰 집 (a big house)

• 바쁘다 → 바쁜 사람 (a busy person)

• 예쁘다 → 예쁜 꽃 (a pretty flower)
