Just enter a verb in its infinitive form (e.g. 하다, meaning "to do") and youll be presented with the many different forms of the verb, all correctly spelled - 했어 (past), 하겠어 (future conditional) and so on. No more having to check with a native speaker when writing unfamiliar verbs!
The app doesnt have a dictionary of verbs; instead it actually understands the rules that govern how all Korean verbs are formed. It explains how each verb is formed, which is a great learning aid.
Theres also a web-based version, the full source code and more at http://dongsa.net Dongsa is by Dan Bravender with this iPhone version by Max Christian.
Pros and cons of Korean Verbs: Dongsa app for iPhone and iPad
Korean Verbs: Dongsa app good for
This is a very simple app, but it seems to do exactly what it sets out to do.
Its a great pocket resource for anyone who is learning Korean. Quick and easy to use, this is a great little app!
Some bad moments
Thank you for creating something that we (Korean leaners) can all use!!
Really useful app if you are learning Korean. I just wish I had found it sooner.
So far its pretty good, though Ill still check with a native speaker to make sure the conjugations are accurate. Very useful thus far, though.
I have been studying Korean for a long time. I have a book at home called 500 Korean Verbs which is really helpful but wasnt any good when I wasnt at my desk. So I decided to make an app that would help me with conjugations. Before I did so I wanted to check the app store and found this little gem. Very good job guys! Thanks for making it free too (though I would have paid a buck).
Update: many months later I still find it useful and use it a few times a week. Thanks again!
If you are learning Korean, this is a very good app for learning verb conjugation. Simple and practical! An excellent addition would be an "unconjugate" feature (a hugely powerful feature which is available on the devs website, Dongsa.net) I love the app as is, though, and put it to good use immediately!
This is a great app to use when I want to know various conjugations. I like that it has separate tabs for present, past and future. What would be even better is if the app had the ability to do reverse stem and provided definitions. Both of these features are offered on the browser version of the app, so I know it is possible. I would even pay for it if it was an upgrade option. Anyway, food for thought. Great job!!
