ABSTRACT
Korean predicates (for example, verbs and adjectives) are either regular or irregular. The regularity of a predicate depends on whether the stem of the predicate is subject to variation. The predicates whose stems do not change, regardless of the sound of the following suffix, are called regular predicates. On the other hand, those predicates whose stems are subject to variation depending on the sound of the following suffix are called irregular predicates. This chapter introduces seven irregular predicates: ㄷ-irregular, ㅂ-irregular, ㅅ-irregular, ㅎ-irregular, 으-irregular, 르-irregular, and ㄹ-irregular.
