Did not study in Korean 🇰🇷

안 공부했어 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Break the phrase into parts: “안” means “not,” “공부” means “study,” and “했어” is the past tense of “하다” (to do).
• Think of it as “did not do study,” which helps recall its structure.
• Use flashcards showing “공부하다” and practice adding “안” before the conjugated verb.

Explanations:
• “안 공부했어” is the informal, past negative form meaning “did not study.”
• It comes from the base verb 공부하다 (gongbu-hada), meaning “to study.”
