Good test cases

하다, 가다, 되다, 나누다, 오다, 열다, 어렵다, 이다, 그렇다, 놓다, 듣다, 낫다, 모르다

Errors

If you find errors, please edit this page and add them to the following list

  • Irregular verbs (not detected)
    • Hard to list all irregular verbs in the program obviously, but all verbs(actually adjectives) ending in 스럽다, 롭다, or 답다 should take the irregular forms (e.g. 사랑스럽다: 사랑스러워요, not 사랑스럽어요)
  • Verb forms (like if verbs should be conjugated or not)
    • None
  • Conjugation
    • 짓다 should become 지어
    • 살다 should become 사십시오
    • 돕다 should become 도와
    • 아프다 should become 아파
    • for 먹다, 먹면서 should be 먹으면서
    • for 먹다, 먹려고 하다 should be 먹으려고 하다
    • for 놓다, 노아 should be 놓다 (though it is pronounced 노아)
  • Pronunciation (any wrong or non-existing rules)
    • Conformation on: ㄹ+ㅅ = ㄹ+ㅆ?
    • ㄱ/ㄺ+ㄱ=ㄱ+ㄲ? -that sounds right
    • I think there's other rules on two consonants by each other where the next consonant becomes 쌍
      • In general, when the 받침 is pronounced as ㄷ,ㄱ,or ㅂ (i.e. when the 받침 is ㄷ,ㅌ,ㅈ,ㅊ,ㅅ,ㅆ,ㄱ,ㄲ,ㅋ,ㅂ,or ㅍ) and the following consonant is ㄷ,ㄱ,ㅂ,ㅅ, or ㅈ, the following consonant becomes 쌍. The second consonant also becomes 쌍 in some other cases, but those are always irregular, and you need to look in a 국어사전 to find them out, e.g. 발전하다 is pronounced 발쩐하다.
  • Other
    • If Korean IME is on while the keyboard is open, it doesn't work
