Verbs and adjectives whose stem ends with a ㄹ 받침 are irregular. Some examples of include 알다, 살다, 열다 and 팔다. These verbs/adjectives don't follow normal conjugation rules required for 받침 containing stems, and instead follow the conjugation rules of non 받침 verbs. Also if followed by ㄴ,ㅂ,ㅅ, then the ㄹ in the stem disappears.

Explanation

Normally verb/adjectives whose stem has a 받침 follows a certain type of rule to conjugate it with a grammar pattern. If you notice in this wiki and many other text books, there is often a (으) in grammar patterns, some examples include A/V + (으)면, A/V + (으)니까. So for example, the pattern A/V + (으)면 has two rules, if it has a 받침 at the end of the stem, add 으면 to the stem, otherwise just add 면 to the stem. In the case that ㄹ is 받침, it follows the grammar patterns as the stems with no 받침.

As stated previously, these verbs/adjective stems follow the same conjugation rules as stems without a 받침.So if it is followed by ㄴ,ㅂ,ㅅ, then the ㄹ disappears. For example 팔다 in the grammar form V + (으)세요 becomes 파세요, NOT 팔세요.

Step by Step Example 1

Grammar Pattern: A/V + (으)면
Pattern Case
Rule 1: If there is no 받침
Rule 2: 으면 If there is a 받침
Example of the Process for Conjugating A/V + (으)면
Step # 가다 (to go) 먹다 (to eat) 알다 (to know)
Step 1: Does it have a 받침 at the end of stem? No Yes, the 받침 is ㄱ Yes, the 받침 is ㄹ (special case)
Step 2: Find proper conjugation rule Use rule 1:
A/V + 면
Use rule 2:
A/V + 으면
It is a ㄹ 받침 (irregular) and we treat it like there is no 받침, so we must use rule 1 instead of rule 2, so A/V + 면
Step 3: Apply the conjugation rule 가면 먹으면 알면

Step by Step Example 2

Grammar Pattern: A/V + (으)니까
Pattern Case
Rule 1: 니까 If there is no 받침
Rule 2: 으니까 If there is a 받침
Example of the Process for Conjugating A/V+(으)니까
Step # 가다 (to go) 먹다 (to eat) 알다 (to know)
Step 1: Does it have a 받침 at the end of stem?
No Yes, the 받침 is ㄱ Yes, the 받침 is ㄹ (special case)
Step 2: Find proper conjugation rule
Use rule 1:
A/V + 니까
Use rule 2:
A/V + 으니까
It is a ㄹ 받침 (irregular) and we treat it like there is no 받침, so we must use rule 1 instead of rule 2, so A/V + 니까
Step 3: Apply the conjugation rule
가니까 먹으니까 알니까
Step 4: Fix conflict
No conflict(regular verb) No conflict(regular verb) The ㄹ disappears and it becomes 아니까
because there was a conflict between the ㄹ 받침 and ㄴ in the previous step.
