Pattern: 하 + 아요 ⇒ 해요 The very common verb 하다 means 'to do' or 'to make'. There are many common verbs in Korean that are formed by joining a noun with the verb 하다 (to do). -- For example: 말하다 (to talk, to speak) is 말 (speech) + 하다 (to do) The ending 하다 conjugates a little differently than other verbs. Instead of becoming 하요 as you’d expect from the rules above, it becomes 해요. |
