CONJUGATION (HONORIFIC)

Conjugation –  Refers to how a verb changes to show a different person, tense, number or mood. In other words it is the process of changing verb into past, present and future tense.

This is use when you're talking to someone honorable. Ito yung pinakamagalang at formal na way. Mas magalang pa sa polite. Halimbawa sa isang Governor, pwede rin sa CEO o sa boss mo, at sa hindi mo kilalang matanda.

Kung tayo sa Pilipinas, po at opo, sa Korea naman is 요 at ㅂ니다.

 
Conjugation of Verbs into Honorific Form

Verb stem + ㅂ니다/습니다

ㅂ니다 - We use this kapag walang batchim ang verb stem. Like (사다, 자다, 사랑하다 etc..)

습니다 - We use this naman kapag may batchim ang verb stem. Like (살다, 죽다, etc..)

- - -

Here the examples:

1. 오다 to come
Removed the 다.

오 is the verb stem. (Wala siyang batchim kaya ㅂ니다 ang gagamitin).

오+ㅂ니다
=옵니다

2. 가다 to go
Removed the 다.

가 is the verb stem. (Wala syang batchim kaya ㅂ니다 ang gagamitin).

가 + ㅂ니다
= 갑니다

3. 사다 to buy
Removed the 다.

사 is the verb stem. (Wala siyang batchim)

사 + ㅂ니다
= 삽니다

4. 먹다 to eat
Removed the 다.

먹 is the verb stem. (May batchim siya which is "ㄱ" kaya add 습니다).

먹+습니다 = 먹습니다

5. 만들다 to make
Remove the 다

만들 ang verb stem . (Note: ang 만들 ay irregular verb) (irregular verbs will be discussed soon!)

NOTE: All Korean predicates that end in ㄹ are subject to the following irregular conjugation.

NOTE: Parang sa English lang diba may irregular verbs then like come-came, fly-flew, write-wrote. Ganon din sa Korea.

That's why;

만들 is the verb stem at dahil irregular siya, pagmag-coconjugate na, we will remove the ㄹ batchim.

만들 = 만드 + ㅂ니다 = 만듭니다

6.  가르치다 to teach

가르치 verb stem. (Wala siyang batchim).
가르치+ㅂ니다= 가르칩니다

7. 마시다 to drink

마시 verb stem. (Wala siyang batchim.)

8. 사랑하다 to love

사랑하 is the verb stem.
