La forma gramatical A/V + 아/어/여 es una de las más importantes del coreano y es probablemente la más utilizada, ya que puede usarse como forma formal educada e informal entre amigos y personas de igual o menor estrato (dejando de lado el 요 al final). Muchas otras formas gramaticales dependen de las reglas básicas de conjugación de esta: ver esta página.
Contents
Usos
Esta forma gramatical es probablemente la más común en el coreano.
- Se usa para oraciones en presente informal, y agregar 요 al final las convierte en informal educado. Esto se puede usar para
 
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.
 - 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.
 
| 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.
 
| Verb/Adjective | Stem | After Conjugation | Contracted Form | Present Tense | Past Tense | 
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 먹다 (to eat) | 먹 | 먹어 | N/A | 먹어(요) | 먹었어(요) | 
| 신다 (to put on shoes/socks) | 신 | 신어 | N/A | 신어(요) | 신었어(요) |
