Naeda Conjugation

내다 (naeda) means "to pay" in Korean. Simplest present: (subject often dropped; pronoun + 는/은 or 이/가 when stated) 내요 (naeyo). Below: all 3 tenses we teach, with examples.

Simplest present 현재 시제 (hyeonjae sije)

Drop -다 from the dictionary form and add -아요/어요. 가다's stem 가- ends in the bright vowel ㅏ, so it takes -아요, contracting 가+아요 to 가요.

(subject often dropped; pronoun + 는/은 or 이/가 when stated)

내요 (naeyo)

Simplest past 과거 시제 (gwageo sije)

Insert -았/었- before the polite ending: 가- + -았- + -어요 becomes 갔어요.

(subject often dropped; pronoun + 는/은 or 이/가 when stated)

냈어요 (naesseoyo)

Simplest future 미래 시제 (mirae sije)

Add -(으)ㄹ 거예요 ("going to / will") to the stem: 가- + -ㄹ 거예요 becomes 갈 거예요.

(subject often dropped; pronoun + 는/은 or 이/가 when stated)

낼 거예요 (nael geoyeyo)
