Made (polite) in Korean 🇰🇷

만들었어요 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Notice that 만들다 (mandeulda) means “to make”; the past tense “만들었어요” (mandeureosseoyo) ends with -었어요, a common pattern for past informal–polite verbs.
• Associate “만들었어요” with a completed action—if you think of the phrase “I made something,” recall that the ending shifts to express past tense.
• Remember that 만들다 is composed of 만들 (the verb stem) and 다 (the dictionary ending); then conjugation adds the past marker -었어요.

Explanations:
• 만들다: The base form (infinitive) meaning “to make” or “to create.”
• 만들었어요: This is the past tense in a polite, informal form. It indicates that the making was completed in the past.
