Some suggested that I post verb of the day, so I will be doing this type of post moving forward. It can be any word may it be verb, noun or adjective. I will try to use them in the different forms that I know, this way I really get to practice usage of words.
First Word of the Day (WOTD) is 공부하다 (gongbuhada) this is the dictionary form of the word which means ‘to learn’. If you want to use this in conversation or sentence you need to get its base form or root for simpler terms since this is the form where you start doing conjugation. The base form of this word is 공부하 (gongbuha), as I previously learned a verb in Korean may either end in ㅓ (eo) or ㅏ (a), and this is done by adding this to the base form the verb. The result of such is what is called verb in infinitive form. There are some rules that has to be considered in doing this. The infinitive form of this verb is 공부해 (gongbuhae), from this form usage of this verb can already be done especially on the casual and polite manner.
