💡 Nova’s Tip

Some adjectives with batchim ‘ㅂ’ change it to ‘우’ before a vowel ending — 춥다→추워요, 덥다→더워요. But regular ones like 잡다, 입다, 좁다 do NOT change!

🇵🇭 Ang ilang adjectives na may batchim na ‘ㅂ’ ay nagiging ‘우’ bago ang vowel ending — 춥다→추워요, 덥다→더워요. Pero ang regular tulad ng 잡다, 입다, 좁다 ay HINDI nagbabago!
