Pregnant in Korean 🇰🇷

임신하다 info.

Tips to remember:
• Think of it as “I'm sin-hada”—imagine saying “I’m expecting” with a quirky twist. Associating “임신” (im-sin) with being “in-sin” (i.e. expecting a baby) may help link the sound to the meaning.
• Notice that “하다” means “to do,” so you can think of “임신하다” as “to do pregnancy” or “to become pregnant.”

Explanations:
• The word “임신하다” is made of the noun “임신” (pregnancy) and the verb “하다” (to do). It means “to become pregnant” or “to be pregnant.”
• It is commonly used in both everyday and formal contexts to describe the state or process of pregnancy.

Other words with similar meaning:
• 임신되다 (im-sin-doe-da) – means “to become pregnant,” with an emphasis on the passive form.
• 임신 (im-sin) – the noun “pregnancy” can sometimes be used contextually to indicate that someone is pregnant.

Conjugations (informal polite style):
• Infinitive: 임신하다 (im-sin-ha-da)
• Present: 임신해요 (im-sin-hae-yo) – “is pregnant”
• Past: 임신했어요 (im-sin-haet-seo-yo) – “was pregnant/has become pregnant”
• Future: 임신할 거예요 (im-sin-hal geo-ye-yo) – “will be pregnant”
