잊다

itda Top 3,000

When discussing memory and the act of forgetting in Korean, '잊다' (itda) is the foundational verb to use. It means 'to forget,' and it's a regular verb, making its conjugations straightforward once you understand the basic patterns. You'll often hear it in everyday conversations when someone mentions forgetting something simple, like a name or an appointment. For example, '이름을 잊었어요' means 'I forgot the name.' It can also be used in more profound contexts, such as forgetting a memory or an experience, though more advanced verbs might be used for nuance in those situations. Understanding '잊다' is crucial for expressing a common human experience in Korean.
