Drank (polite) in Korean 🇰🇷

마셨어요 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Associate “마시다” (to drink) with “mash” in English—imagine “mashing down” a drink.
• Visualize the transition from “마시다” to “마셨어요” by thinking of adding a past marker (‑었‑) to indicate that the drinking action already happened.

Explanations:
• “마셨어요” is the polite past tense form of the verb “마시다,” meaning “drank.”
• It shows that the action happened in the past and is used in situations where politeness is required.
• The stem “마셔-” is combined with the past tense marker “-셨어요,” resulting in “마셨어요.”
• Romanized, it is pronounced “masyeosseoyo.”

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
