이겨요
Grammar & Usage
How it works
이겨요 is the polite, non-honorific present tense form of the verb 이기다 (to win, to overcome, to defeat). It is formed by conjugating the verb stem 이기- with the -어요 ending, where 이기- + -어요 becomes 이겨요 due to vowel contraction (i + eo → yeo). It is commonly used in everyday conversations to express winning or overcoming something.
