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