Stop in Korean 🇰🇷

중단되다 info.

Tips to remember: Break the word into two parts – “중단” (jung-dan) means “interruption” or “cessation” and “되다” (doe-da) means “to become.” Imagine something “becoming stopped” to help recall that “중단되다” means “to be stopped” or “to be suspended.”

Explanations: “중단되다” is a passive form meaning that an action, process, or event has been halted or discontinued. It is used when referring to something that has been interrupted or stopped by an external factor rather than being stopped actively.

Other words with similar meaning:
• 멈추다 (meom-chu-da) – to stop (active form)
• 중지되다 (jung-ji-doe-da) – to be ceased or suspended
• 정지되다 (jeong-ji-doe-da) – to be halted or arrested

Conjugations (using the informal polite style):
• Present: 중단된다 (jung-dan-doen-da) or in a more polite form 중단됩니다 (jung-dan-doem-ni-da) – “is stopped”
• Past: 중단되었다 (jung-dan-doe-eot-da) or 중단되었습니다 (jung-dan-doem-ni-da) – “was stopped”
• Future: 중단될 것이다 (jung-dan-doel geo-si-da) – “will be stopped”
• Present Conditional: 중단되면 (jung-dan-doe-myeon) – “if (it) is stopped”
