ㅂ 불규칙

Explanation

Many ㅂ stems become 우 before vowel endings: 춥다 → 추워요.

Exceptions exist (좁다 often regular in some forms — check frequency lists).

High-frequency: 춥다, 덥다, 어렵다, 쉽다, 돕다 (돕다 has special forms).

Weather and difficulty vocabulary depend on this irregular.

Level: elementary. Read the pattern, say each example out loud, then write two new sentences of your own before moving on.

After you can produce the form, open related Chamelingo pages (vocabulary, conjugator, particles) so the pattern connects to words you actually study.
