안녕하세요! We have another lesson on irregular verb conjugations in Korean today! Today we are talking about the 르 irregular, which you can find in verbs like 모르다 (to not know), 고르다 (to pick), etc.
This is one of the “easier” irregularities in Korean. Listen in to find out more about it and hear sample phrases. Be sure to pick up the free PDF as well!
You can download a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.
‘ㅂ’ 불규칙 보다, ‘르’ 불규칙는 더 쉬워 같은데요. ^^ 이전에 모르지만 지금 알겠어요.
선생님들 정말 고마워요… 특히 석진 씨는 정말 감사합니다!
Hello 선생님
How do you say irregular verbs in korean?
Is it 불규칙 동사 ?
I got this from naver.
By the way, how many irregular verbs are there? I know these: ㅅ, ㄷ, 으, ㄹ, ㅎ. Any more?
Thanks….it is so easy to pick up lessons from TTMIK.
I really like learning here!

감사합니다! I’m also interested in knowing roughly how many of these verbs are out there, I learnt most verbs already conjucated so some more examples would be a big help! Thanks again!
감사합니다. Thank you for your comment.

I was wondering why 몰라요 was not 몰아요, just like 알아요 ^^
감사합니다 현우 씨 & 경은 씨 & 석진 씨!

what is the origin word for 놀라요?
The basic form of 놀라요 is 놀라다.^^
놀라요 is not one of ‘-르’ 불규칙동사^^
ㅠㅠ 어려운 한국말! 제발, 저한테 쉬우세요~~~
질문 있어요!
따르다 (to follow; to pour) does not follow this rule.
‘딸라요’ 아니죠? ‘따라요’ 맞죠?
왜 그렇게요?

Ok, so -르다 verbs change to -ㄹ러/ㄹ라/ㄹ려 when they’re being attached to -서, and they don’t change when attached to -고. What about when these verbs are attached to -도? My guess is that they change to the -ㄹ러/ㄹ라/ㄹ려 form, based on how other verbs act — 여를 들어서, 해도 not 하도.
And how should I conjugate -르다 verbs in the past tense with -고 and -면? Should it be 몰랐고 or 모릈고? I know you recommend to leave the verb stem in the present tense when using 고, so this problem should not ever arise. Just wondering what the correct grammar would be. Thanks!
Hi!
I was wondering why
고르다 = 골라요
why isn’t it 골러요 since it ends with a ㅡ so it should follow 어요?
and if 그르다 = 골라요,
why is 기르다 = 길러요?
and not 길라요?
Thank you 석진씨!!
Hi V, I guess you misunderstand the rules of changing verb stems. Lesson 1-16 would answer your question I think. Go and check it out!! // Also, you had a typo “그르다” in your comment.
I think I guessed this correctly but I want verification.
So when deciding if the 르 should become ~ㄹ 라요 over ~ㄹ 러요 do you go by the first vowel in the irregular 르 verb?
For example 모르 becomes 몰라요 because of the ㅗ in 모 and 기르 becomes 길러요 because of the ㅣ in 기. Is this correct?
Also if such a word exist would 하르 then become 할려요??
This was not explained in the lesson the PDF so I was guessing when I decided that I need confirmation before telling myself that this was indeed the rule.
골라요 my nose.
I pick my nose.
Can you please explain why it was 골라요, i thought it would be 골러요..
Because 르 have this particular rule.
Verb stem add ‘ㄹ’+ 라요 only apply to verb stem with ” ㅗ /ㅏ ”
Verb stem add ‘ㄹ’+ 러요 only apply to verb stem with the others.
eg. 오르다(rise,climb)–> 을라요 & 누르다(Press)–> 눌러요
The basic form of 골라요 is 고르다.
Verb stem ending with -르 followed by
+ -아/어/여요
+ -아/어/여서
+ -았/었/였어요
In these cases, 르 is changed to ᄅ
and placed at the end of the previous vowel and you add ONE MORE ᄅ before the verb ending.
Even if the verb stem ends with -르 [reu], if it is then followed by other endings such as -아/어/여고, -는데, etc, -르 stays the same.
