Did not write (polite) in Korean 🇰🇷

안 썼어요 info.

Tips to Remember:
• "안" means "not" and is placed directly before the verb.
• "쓰다" (to write) is irregular; its past form is "썼어요" (romanized: sseossoyo). The double consonant ㅆ signals a past tense.
• Remember that “안 썼어요” literally combines “안” (not) and “썼어요” (wrote) to express “did not write.”

Explanations:
• "안 썼어요" is the negative past polite form of 쓰다. It is used to say “did not write” in a polite context.
