Wrote (polite) in Korean 🇰🇷

썼어요 info.

Tips to remember:
• Associate "썼어요" with the idea of having “written” something before—it sounds like “sseoss-eoyo,” which can remind you of scribbling or jotting down words.
• Remember that 쓰다 (to write or to use) changes its vowel when conjugated into the past form "썼어요"—the double ㅆ can make it easier to recall that an action was completed.

Explanations:
• "썼어요" is the polite past tense conjugation of the verb 쓰다. It can mean “wrote” (as in writing something) or “used” (depending on context).
• The base form (infinitive) is 쓰다, meaning “to write” or “to use.”

Other words with similar meaning:
