Korean verb conjugation: I

Verbs are used to describe actions. A unique feature of Korean is that it conjugates differently to convey a meaning of familiarity or respect. Verbs in Korean can used the verb 'to be' as an auxiliary verb. Korean verbs in the present tense do not conjugate for each person. This means that the verb stays the same for 'I', 'you', 'he', 'they' etc. This is similar to the case in English. There is however a verb ending for the familiar form and a different verb ending for the respectful form.

Examples

jonen mogoyo

jonen noyo
I put
jonen heyamanhanda
I must
jonen senggakhaeyo
I think
jonen maseyo
I drink
