아프 (to be painful, hurt; stem of 아프다)
아요 (is; polite ending)
→ I’m telling you polite and friendly.
Pronunciation Flow Tip
아프 + 아요 = 아파요: When rapidly pronounced, ‘프’ and ‘아’ naturally combine to form ‘파’, not 아프아요.
Real-Life Usage
아파요 can describe both physical pain and emotional hurt. You might hear it often if someone is unwell.
Grammar
The ending 아요 doesn’t mean “is” on its own — it isn’t the same as is in English. But because it works together with the verb like a be verb (helping express a state in the present), I wrote it as is to make it easier to understand.
Pattern Practice
1. 아이가 아파요.
2. 할아버지가 아파요.
3. 마음이 아파요.
4. 다리가 아파요.
